Thanks. I decide to see how much it really weights and as part of that I rolled it over to have a look at bottom loading pistons. It looks...
another thought. The scat ford rods are 7" so close to the Lincoln 7.25 and would work with custom pistons but won't fit through the...
Trying to find connecting rods that will work and aren't as scary looking as the stock ones [ATTACH] I found theis Deutz 511 rods the might...
My how time flies. I'm still stuck on the other V12 project but I did drive that one around the block, so its getting near done and I'm back to...
I just looked back and see I started this thread in 2012 thinking the frikin ferrari was almost done...but there are probably at least 2 more...
Thanks for the kind words and glad you enjoyed seeing it. and yes, I hope to do something nice with this engine as well...eventually....
Sadly no. Its still sitting waiting its turn as the project from HE11 continues to consume all my time and money:...
Yeah, a few chimed in with that feedback and was the reason I insisted on COD, and to my surprise I actually got heads. And they look good which...
Love it! Thanks for sharing those pics! I've bee trying to figure out how to do something like that by bolting in aluminum or maybe with just...
Really nice work. I'm going to have to take a take another look at what might be possible on the lincoln.....although I'm a little off track...
Like this one (from glenL)? It's very cool looking but I was thinking ski boat. They make variable pitch props for small boats? I've...
Very cool! How did you machine the block to accept it.....go in through intake port?
I use them for many things too...love-em!
Coll project! Do you have pics of any of it? I'd particularly like to see pics of how you mounted the injectors. I was considering putting...
The problem with a 95 degree sunny day is that it's a 95 degree sunny day. The sun will try to heat anything it hits.....a black surface could...
Conservation of energy ALWAYS applies and a higher CR engine converts more energy into work and less into heat. The heat goes out in 2 ways,...
i don't disagree with anything you are saying really...there is no question that going up on CR will reduce exhaust temp. Where I'm struggling...
I stumbled across this stuff recently: http://www.jegs.com/p/Engine-Ice/Engine-Ice-Hi-Performance-Coolant/1348309/10002/-1 but have never...
Boiling point and ability to cool are 2 very different things. The boiling point goes up but you aren't going to run the system hotter really...
I'm not so sure. For sure the higher compression is more thermally efficient overall but that is not the same thing as what % of the inefficiency...
I talked to winberg cranks today.....they said plan on about $15k for 1 or $18k for 3.....who wants a crank? Right after that I called a buddy...
:) Well it sounds like you already know EXACTLY where the problem is ;) ......but a shroud should help. Mark
Thinner cylinder walls transfer more heat into the coolant because they are better conductors. A LOT of heat leaves the engine in the exhaust, so...
Correct you absolutely need a shoud and that will mkae a big improvement..... but while it's maintaining a safe temp while cruising it's not...
For sure the EGT temps go down as CR goes up......but I'm not sure heat into the coolant always goes down because heat is transferred much faster...
Fair enough Is the falcon a top tank or side tank? On a side tank the core effectively gets smaller when the water level drops and thats a...
There is: aluminum radiator of adaquate size use a shoud use an electric fan if possible (I know.... but they are better) use a thermostat,...
hmmmmm......... The wear stuff is oil viscosity and part clearance so temp info from a study like there applies only to the specific stuff that...
Going to 200F is fine if that is the design set point...but it sounds like the design point is 180 so the system is overheating...and that is...
The thermostat controls the low as you say, then the burden shifts to the radiator which controls the high. If you want the car to run at 180,...
