DAVE - Wyatt & I talked about doing something similar with an oil pump. Drill the crankshaft and try to oil the rod bearing internally like an automotive engine but the hollow rod throw makes it kinda hard.
There was a really neat little 1/4 scale 1206 made out of a 129 at Redpower Roundup years ago at Penfield that was Turbo-charged. It had an oil pump belt-driven off the frt crankshaft to lube the turbo bearings. I never saw it running but I think Kraig has pic's He's posted here. Whoever built it REALLY did a nice job.
GERRY - Was that '62 Cutlass Jetfire the one with a turbo-charged aluminum 215 CID V-8? I saw one of those engines in a "Mini-Rod" garden tractor pull at the Rock Island County Fair garden tractor pull back in about 1985. Was an almost perfect 1/3 scale model of a 966 or 1066 FARMALL Super Farm pulling tractor. Even the 18.4 X 16.1 pulling tires looked in perfect scale to a real pulling tractor. Unfortunately He couldn't quite compete with the supercharged Chevy small block powered tractors but He came real close to winning.
Ahhh, That was back when GM had some interesting ideas, the Corvair Spyder with a turbo-flat 6 cyl. air cooled engine, the OHC Pontiac straight-6, etc. GMC was making BIG 90 degree V-6 truck engines, and I even saw a couple hot-rods built with the 702 cid V-12 which was basically a siamesed pair of 351 V-6's in a common block casting. Two distributors, two carbs, a real tuning nightmare!
