very cool!

It's an early engine for sure... It's running a lee filter from around 1972!
-
come on geoff figured you would know the car u or bruce lol
-
Those are very early IDAs. 60s or early 70s for sure.
-
yep bruce early 70s and looking at 4 brand new ones in the box right now with a price tag of $89.99 each lol old ones
-
There is probably 50+ cars from 71-74 that it could have come from... Is is a Seattle local car or? Just a little info could go a long way. It's not the long lost Inch pincher engine thats for sure. Not a DDS one either, it has all the correct early race parts but nothing that says it's from a specific "sponsored" car. The pulley looks like a early Clauds Buggies pulley but the pic is too small to really see. Same with the detail on the flywheel, yes it's been lightened but I can't see if it's a 6v or 12v.. Many early cars ran porche boxes and used the 6v flywheels. Itm sure looks like a D case, any chance of better pic's?
pull a valve cover as there may be a head porters stamp... Fumio?
If it was a Wa State engine I would think there would be more early Renton Berg parts on it...
Give us some info to go on.

ok geoff its a cali car and they are fumio heads and no $$ were spared norris ground all the cams for it for testing it has some purple parts not in pic lol
-
70slooker wow did his home work and guess it its the stutt bee motor from when it one at the winternationals
-
whats the deal with it? Did you find it for sale or were these pics found on another site? If it is the Stutt Bee engine, Russell Richie would like to have it for the car i'm sure.
-
a very good friend of mine since the late 70s when i lived in cali helped robert utlee pull it out and bought it he was pretty tight with him he lives down in monroe now ,i guess he is talking with richi now about a sale to put it back with the car i just was thinking you guys would like to see some history before it gets lost

Hey Steve, ask him to tell us what the serial numbers are on the IDAs. It's on the pad right beside where it is stamped "48 IDA".
