Re: New block
Quick update.

Re: New block
Just back from 4 days at the Summit nationals at Norwalk. I'm with Ron, let's wait to see the first one running before we worry about names. Back at it tomorrow.

Re: New block
Despite finding out that I am not up to the task of making this block progress continues, while I work on other stuff. I have the core shop working on 3 different projects and delivered a pattern...

Re: New block
Model progress is moving along. I have been working on the driver's side water jacket and lifter valley areas when I can. So far, so good. Exterior of the block is pretty much finished.

Re: New block
I got a little done today but I had some running around to do. I went to the foundry to pick up some heads and take some cores for Winfield heads. They broke another head. That's 3 out of 14. Not...

Re: New block
I was under the weather Sunday and most of Monday so I didn't get much done by way of design/model work.
I have to say that I am with Ron on the bore sizing. Given the restrictions of the...

Re: New block
In between relaxation time today and running some errands with my wife I was able to rework and finish the intake port. I like it even more. I also inserted one intake and exhaust port into the...

Re: New block
I was able to start on the driver's side water jacket yesterday and made better progress than I figured I would. It would be nice to have this ready for core work by July.

Re: New block
OK. Here are pics of the ports under way. As you can see, I increased the size of the area under the valve, more so on the intake than the exhaust. I also followed the idea of the center exhaust port...

Re: New block
Today while machining some parts I was able to get to the other exhaust ports and I like the opening up of the port under the valve as well as the more smooth flow. I eliminated the sharp corners...

Re: New block
I made some good progress yesterday in opening up the "window" under the valve. My initial work was done on the center exhaust port. I am happy with the results so far. Next I will apply the...

Re: New block
I made a little more progress today despite having to mess around with one of my machines some and also doing some of the last 1st OP machining on a Cleveland block. I have a bunch of machining to do...

Re: New block
My plan is to increase the intake port diameter and make the curve less abrupt and increase the window size going into the diameter under the valve. I have already done the increased size under the...

Re: New block
I'm not moving valves. I have too much work in the center exhaust port alone to scrap that idea. The best I could do would be to provide a casting that is not machined at all in the valve areas and...

Re: New block
I need to be able to deal through builders. They can supply finished blocks to customer specs. One thing I learned early on in the FE projects was that I need to be able to supply a basic machined...

Re: New block
I will be interested to see how many people are really wanting one. Talking on a forum is one thing, buying is another. With the model A it seems few of the 100+ potential buyers from a poll want to...

Re: New block
Thanks. I will rest as much as I need to. My health doesn't allow me to over-do it these days. Since surviving a massive stroke in 2005 that took a third of the right side of my brain (and a small...

Re: New block
OK. I've been working on this in my spare time and it is moving along nicely. Unfortunately, I have to work, sleep, and watch a little TV. Not bad for a week of messing around.
At this stage...

Re: New block
I am amazed at the differences between the blue prints and the block I have. Nothing functional, just locations of webbing and some of the cast geometry. As I near having the externals of my model...
