I'd love to have that, if only for a mockup motor on an engine stand. It would look so correct with my Hilborn setup.
Must resist bidding!

That's cool! Nice find. Never seen that one before. I'd like to know more about the history behind that one... |

Keith Black built a lot of boat engines. A Hilborn injected short stroke slant would have been a formidable competitor in 3,000CC hydro. |

I wish there was a way to drive a oil pump off that somehow. |

Don't know if he'll be interested, but I passed the ad link along to Mr. K, who's trying to repop/restore Martin & Nelson's Dragmaster Dart when it had the slant in it. |

That's pretty cool. What happened to the guy that was making a finned aluminum slant timing cover? |

Is that actually a Hilborn cover? |

That's what I was thinking, but I don't handle the internet well enough to find out. Plus, the original injectors on the Dode/Martin car were a Hilborn developmental set. |

That cutout looks like the perfect place to put a cam position sensor. Sadly, it's not in my current build's budget. |

OK, who got this thing? And what's it going on? |

Stuff is nice but $350.00 Really? |

Supply, meet Demand. Demand, meet Supply. You two have a lot in common. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |

In order to understand why someone would pay $350 for that cover, you need to break down the reasons 'why'. The value of that cover is 95% nostalgia, 95% function, and 95% rarity. If you could do further research to establish that it had been used by Don Gartlits, that would add another 95%. |
