Re: Ford Cleveland NASCAR cylinder heads
Hi Walter Wow! I'm impressed. You certainly didn't waste any time locating a reference for them. I tried finding pictures on the web using the reference you provided but there isn't anything turning up in my searches. I guess these heads really are very, very rare by now. Did you have previous exper...

Ford Cleveland NASCAR cylinder heads
I understand that during the 1990s Junior Johnson was involved in the development of a set of cylinder heads for the Cleveland engine for NASCAR application. They were unusual in that they featured straight inlet ports with the pushrods going through them (in somewhat analogous fashion to the famous...

Re: Making Aluminum Y Block heads
Those stacked Y-block inlet ports are intriguing. I'm guessing the lower inlet port flow is inferior to the upper one for of flow etc. Is this correct? What can be done to equalise the flow and the flow quality between the different geometry ports?

Please elaborate on how to achieve COG shift by moving the wheels "by a much smaller distance". It sounds interesting.

Re: Dodge Charger Electric
Yeah, but its got a 126dB fratzonig exhaust. Wow. Just so fake. It is going to be annoying when your standard small weenie get's one of these things and goes around the neighbourhood making 126dB of fake-zonig exhaust sounds. Why does Dodge engage in such nonsense? Does Dodge think its customers are...

Re: Only in California ... maybe not ...coming to your State ??
Quoting, "Does anyone need to get 60 in 2.9 seconds?"
I don't. I need to get to 60 in 1.9 secs, preferably a little less.

Re: Only in California ... maybe not ...coming to your State ??
Those pictures of the state of the air in Chinese cities are shocking. They'll need to start fitting their coal-fired power stations and industry with precipitators and decent bag houses to capture all that stuff so it doesn't get liberated to atmosphere. That and start going nuclear in a big way. G...

How much heavier is the tall deck block than the regular deck block?

Re: Original stock valve angles
Well that is interesting. Does anyone have data from the rest of the manufacturers? Looking at the OHV wedge engines, what are the valve angles for Chrysler's engines (de Soto, Plymouth, Dodge, etc.), Ford's engines (Lincoln, Mercury, etc.), Packard, Studebaker and the others?

Re: Original stock valve angles
OK. So we have Chevrolet small block (original/standard form) at 23 degrees. Oldsmobile is a confirmed 6 degrees. Pontiac was 17 degrees originally but then they went over to 14 degrees after 1966. Apart from their race engines at 10 degrees I am uncertain what the Buick engines were. I've searched ...

Original stock valve angles
I am interested in getting hold of some information pertaining to the Pontiac, Buick and Oldsmobile "big block" wedge engines. My understanding is that these engines had all their valves in-line and parallel, just as a small block Chevrolet engine does. I have been trying to find out what ...

Brian P Yes, I got a look. I didn't realise that this had been used by Honda. Interesting set up. Ah, "the Honda way"! There is another system I came across which is kinda de Dion. The Alfa Romeo 8C had a solid beam axle rear suspension. There was a twist* to it though. The differential wa...
