I paid a visit to George Asche last week. Here are a few pictures of his work.
He does a true split on the stock manifold by welding the heat riser inside the manifold to block the two sides.
He also rebuilds and re-jets Carter B&B carburetors for a matched pair when running duals.
He also rebuilds overdrive transmissions for Mopar flat six powered cars.
I was treated to a white knuckle ride in his 1950 Plymouth with dual carburetors and dual exhaust. The engine in this car has 280,000 miles on it and the main bearings have never been changed. George does not "baby" his stuff. He backed this Plymouth out of the garage and pulled on to the road. With a cold engine he ran up to fifty MPH in first overdrive. The engine must have been pulling close to 5 grand but it never missed a beat and sounded terrific with the dual exhaust.
He also has a 1929 Desoto that he bought in the early 1950's. I was treated to a ride in this car a couple of years ago.
I am using one of his manifolds on my car. George does not do puters. He can be reached at (814) 354-2621
