Ok heres a time killer we can all do

[Dl5treez]

I drove on down to Houston,

For my next show,

Well sometimes don't it surprise you,

With how the wheels turn slow,



I made it back home,

Without a dollar to pay,

For my gas on down to Stephenville,

The very next day...

C'mon I know for a fact there's some fans of Texas country music around here *someplace*.....

Dunno really..... perhaps a big Continental?



The song was written much later than '48 so for all we know the truck had been repowered with a V-12 Detroit long before. :-laf

Sorry for the thread highjack, but I guess it qualifys as a time killer



Since the song is make believe, my theory is too :-laf



However is 1948, in order to get a 1000 cubes, you would need a Hall-Scott "1091". On gas (w/5/8" fuel line and two fuel pumps) it produced 318 hp @ 2200 rpm and 945 ft. lbs trq. @ 1400 rpm. On propane, 357hp @ 2200 rpm and 1070 ft. lbs trq. @ 1200 rpm. This engine was used mostly in the north west and rarely went east of the Rockys, too much power for the flat- landers Note: the Detroit V-12 is only 851 cubes :{

OK you got me... . be that way. :{



Thanks for the info on the Hall-Scott engine. I bet the fuel mileage was just dandy.





But you still need to guess the answer to my verse(s) or else I'm still the champ 'round here. :-laf

 

[NIsaacs]

You are welcome, the Hall-Scott was an awesome engine in it's day. It took Cummins 30 years later, to come up with that kinda power.



And yup, you be da' champ

Ok here we go, we got a real pressure cooker going here, two down, nobody on, no score, bottom of the ninth, there's the wind-up, and there it is, a line shot up the middle, look at him go. This boy can really fly! He's rounding first and really turning it on now, he's not letting up at all, he's gonna try for second; the ball is bobbled out in center, and here comes the throw, and what a throw! He's gonna slide in head first, here he comes, he's out! No, wait, safe - safe at second base, this kid really makes things happen out there. Batter steps up to the plate here's the pitch - he's going, and what a jump he's got, he's trying for third, here's the throw, its in the dirt - safe at third! Holy cow, stolen base! He's taking a pretty big lead out there, almost daring him to try and pick him off. The pitcher glances over, winds up, and it bunted, bunted down the third base line, the suicide squeeze is on! Here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close, here's the throw, here's the play at the plate, holy cow, I think he's gonna make it!

 

[TORQUE THIS]

Take your car, yes we will, we'll take your car and drive it
Take it to a motel room, and take 'em off in private
A part of me has just been wrecked
The pages from my mind are stripped
Oh no, I can't deny it
Oh yeah, I guess I got to buy it

In the office there's a guy named Melvin.
He pretends that I am Murphy Brown.
He'll say: 'Are you ready?'
I'll say: 'Woah man! Let's wait until the wife is out of town. '
