Last run in '03 to move it ~5 miles to its final resting place.
600 miles would take 2,640 hours at top speed of 20ft/min.
VGG should totally try though.

I used to watch this thing work at the old Beckville mine in East Texas. It was a walking dragline. They're moving it here to a different site.

I visited my grandpa for his (91st) birthday today, and somehow I've never seen this picture before. He served in Germany in the mid fifties
124HP from what, 80? That's pretty steep. How did they deal with detonation with the poor gas and carburetors of the time?

McCulloch Supercharger History - VS57 Mcculloch Supercharger
Robert Paxton McCulloch was a skilled Stanford University engineering graduate who inherited a considerable sum of money from his multi-millionaire grandfather at an early age. This gave him the financial freedom to indulge in two of his passions, boat racing and engineering, which eventually...www.vs57.com
McCulloch advertising of the period claimed a 38% increase in Horsepower, better gas mileage, smoother performance and a longer engine life. More than 5,000 of the superchargers were sold during the late 30’s, but production was discontinued during the early 1940’s due to two reasons. The impeller for the supercharger, being gear driven, and being lubricated via the engine oil system which was often not changed as regularly as it should, had a tendency to become quite noisy with wear, and the blower, due to its fixed ratio of 6:1, produced no significant boost until high rpm was being achieved by the engine with boost levels being no more than 4 psi, even with radical reworking. These facts failed to impress the general public, and sales were low
4psi of boost at high RPM's probably wasn't enough to make detonation an issue.

And most of that sort of stuff was being sold in the 60s after gas had gotten good but before the flathead based hothrods were gone so the overall compression ratio after accounting boost was probably in the same ballpark as the OHV shit that was rolling off the line at the time.
I bet 4PSI was a huge fucking help though. The flow path through a flathead is not great.
