Hey hey!
Hey everyone. Taking a different turn in automotive projects lately. Building a 72c10. A long ways to go but that's why I'm here ;)
Have a torn apart Longblock and a rolling chassis that needs some work. Besides that, a daily and a wankel. Anyways. I'm sure I'll be doing a lot of reading here.

Welcome to CHR, Doc! The truck sounds like a great project.
-
Should be. Frame is solid, can needs rockers and the steel around top of the windshield. Manual truck. Might try to find a shortbed frame. Motor rounded a cam, bored out .06 over and freshly honed. Looks great just needs cleaned and picked through and mic'd out
-
I might regret asking, but what is a daily and a Wankel?
-
Welcome and I love the Chevy 67-72s.
-
Daily = regular old car I drive everyday
Wankel = rotary engine powered vehicle
-
Dr.Wankel. Welcome to CHR and I love C10s doing one myself and your from MI..Enjoy your stay

Wankels are cool. I understand the side seals prevented them from being rebuilt by the hobbyist, and emissions requirements caused their demise. Very cool concept, are there many left around?

A know a few people who have rebuilt them. Just like a regular internal combustion engine it just takes a few tries and research. There's quite a few around still. Fuel economy was a huge deal breaker in the continuation of the rotary. The rpms are nice (mine is set to 9000rpm) make a fair amount of power and the cars are light. Just not a lot of torque.
