Has anyone heard of Bilmar Motors/Engines, does anyone have thier phone number or URL? Thanks guys!

 

Okay, some one has got to know about these guys.. There has to be a SCCA guy around here some where.

 

Actually Marv, owner of Bilmar died recently. they sold all their equipment and aren't doing business as far as I know.

 

Do you think there is any way on ***'s green earth to find out what is in one of there motors then?? I have one, in a car... Very, very fast but I don't know what to do to it becuase I don't know what is in it... I don't really feel like ripping it apart to find out on the otherhand.. Ideas?

 

Man, that's tough, you close with *** or anything? Just kiddin. Um did the engine you have come with your car or did you buy it from Bilmar? I'm not too familiar with his motors, just have a friend who builds race engines and heard the news. If you can find a phone # for Bilmar, someone may be able to help you. They used to advertise in SCCA's Sportscar magazine but I threw out all my old issues. Try a search on the web.

Most builders keep records of their motors and stamp a number on the engines, check that out too. Maybe on the cylinder heads?

 

I just one motor but two motors cam with the car, a T-2 and T-1 motor. I have the numbers on the block, head castings and the huge number that they write on the intake. I have looked through and found very limited info on these motors but nothing in terms of contacting the company or the specs on them.

 

Dad died late September 2001. Bilmar Auto on Taylor Rd in Port Orange, Fl (mailing addy Daytona Beach) died with him. Manta bought up the Quad4 parts from the estate. The executor ran the ASA (illegal) motor business for over 2 years, but I have no Idea who got the showroom stock Chevy parts.
His first motor whiz Joe Doss works at Lattoff Chevy in Illinois and could likely help you towards a rebuild, but it was an extremely persnickety blueprint and nothing especially "magic" for most of the earlier stuff.
