About
The six Vanderbilt Cup Races held on Long Island from 1904 to 1910 were the greatest sporting events of their day, and the first international automobile road races held in the United States. The races had a far-reaching impact on the development of American automobiles and parkways. This site provides comprehensive information on the races, the Long Island Motor Parkway and current Long Island automotive events, car shows and news.

We are looking east over today’s Levittown. The date should be around late 1947 since the first section new homes appears to be complete. Structures include L.I. Aviation Country Club, and the Newbridge Road, Jerusalem Ave. and Bloomingdale Road bridges. The Newbridge and Jerusalem bridges came down just about the same time as the photo with Bloomingdale about a year or two later. In addition to the LIMP remnants, other major roads include Hempstead Tpke., and Wantagh State Parkway.

The new Carrillo rod’s crank bearing and wrist pin bearings are the same exact sizes as the stock rods. And no, it was not necessary to bore the cylinders for this rebuild as the block was in near perfect condition.
