    Any Snake enthusiasts in here? Need to ID a snake.

    Don't want to kill the thing, but if it's a copperhead... In Virginia, there are 10 times more harmless snakes to dangerous ones, and the benign ones (I've read) are really beneficial. A little further information, we're in northern VA, and I've found my share of juvenile rat snakes around...

    Title says it, I've got a '55 Willys (parts) truck and a '56 that had a 'Super Hurricane' 6 cylinder with a cracked block. In a warehouse, I've found this flathead Ford motor that I can have, for the price of picking it up. I see lots of conversions saying I'll need an adapter, and with the...

    Compound turbochargers

    Was looking at an industrial generator and saw that this setup had 2 turbochargers inline with each other. Some of you guys have experience with these things, was curious what the upside to this configuration is. Other than that, I just thought it was pretty cool.
