The photo to the right is of Mt. Denali in Alaska. I toured Canada, Alaska and northwestern United States this past summer. I was on the road 59 days. During this trip, I logged 13,300 miles. I camped along the way in a clam-shell teardrop. The Miller Hi-Speed Head and Burtz engine worked flawlessly.
Update: 10.16.23
I now have a little over 33,500 miles on my Miller Hi-Speed Head topped Burtz engine. It has been running well and I am very satisfied with both the head and the block.
New project:
I am assembling components to build a "Jeep-like" vehicle for use around our property and maybe some 1/8 mile time trials. I plan to shorten a Model A frame and running gear by 18". I have a quick-change rear end, rolling chassis to fit it to and an already built B engine.
I currently have 5 Burtz engine kits in-stock. Three are spoken for and will be assembled shortly after the first of the year. I also have 6 blocks in the machining center being worked on for stock cores. I have three additional customers engines in the shop for rebuilding.
I am limiting the number of projects I take on this fall and winter. Call early if you want to get something to be worked on. Thank you!
After three years of on and off work the clam shell teardrop and '31 are ready to go. As soon as this virus is contained, we are off!
