How about a "Vintage Engine" tech forum
I'm thinking about adding another tech forum, focused on vintage engines, and obsolete technologies.
What do you think ?

Isn’t the whole site about obsolete vintage technologies?

Re: How about a "Vintage Engine" tech forum
I tend to agree.
It would be redundant.
Vintage is in the eye of the beholder....or a craiglist seller.
Obsolete is in the mind of the manufacturer.

If an engine can not be competitive in an open racing class, and can only find a home in "Nostalgia Racing" classes, it's vintage.Dave Koehler wrote: ↑Fri Jul 17, 2020 11:26 amI tend to agree.

The 350 Chevy has not be manufactured for decades, but it's still in over half the circle track race cars in the US. It's far from obsolete, and aftermarket manufacturers are still advancing that engine platform.
I think everyone can see the difference between a Ford Flathead in an old T-Bucket, and a 410" SBC Sprint Car engine.
Same for technologies. Duntov cams, and Joe Hunt Magnetos had their place, but they can't compete wit h current technology.
Who under the age of 50, has even seen a Duntov cam, or Joe Hunt magneto ?

Re: How about a "Vintage Engine" tech forum
I would be on board with a vintage tech section but, what would be the perimeters to it? A certain cut off year?
Re: How about a "Vintage Engine" tech forum
No cut off date, As Cam King says, no longer competitive in open racing classes. But....a 300 cube SBC could not compete with all out DOHC engines of the same size...

Re: How about a "Vintage Engine" tech forum
No cut off year.
Just use your judgement.
Anything that can no longer compete in racing, unless it's in a Nostalgia or Vintage class.
Any technology or product that is no longer used in racing or performance.
