I tried posting pictures of the jig. No luck. Something about upload thing being full. What I did was make a little thing with two plates separated by four stands. One on each corner. The top and bottom plates for the cone adapters bolt to these plates. That way they are held in place and pretty paraell. The length of the stands determines the height of the cone. So I cut out the top and bottom plates and bore them to the size of the Ford Throttle body + .125 for the top one and engine port size + .125 on the bottom one. The .125 is to allow for the .060 wall thickness of the sheet that makes the actual cone. So I made a templet out of paper that fit the assembly and cut out steel pieces to the templet. I also made an arbor with the Ford ID as its OD on one end and the port ID as the other end OD. Clamped the sheet to it and used a leather hammer to beat it around until I could start it into the plates on the jig. Tapped it down until the seam fit well tog eather. Stuck it there and removed it to finish. If you email me at V4GMR@yahoo.com I will send you the pictures this thing won't take.

You're right about the "upload" thingie.  I just was unable to load as small (70 kb) photo.  I'll get Bob on it pronto.

Latest deal is to find that all the line boring and such put the crank centerline .032 closer (as best as I can measure) to the cam then the Bros. had in mind. So the new cam gear doesn't fit. I am now waiting on the gear cutter to make it smaller. The rings are much closer to the deck than I had in mind. Right now I think I'll run it. I am tired of "Do Overs" Besides, I'll always have time to do it over later, right?. Got all the internal oil lines done. Head is done. Gasket is done. I was going to work on the front cover and front of the pan when I tried putting the cam gear on. So that's the next big thing. and last I think. The blowshield is drilled for the Dodge.I need to make a rear seal holder. Buy a SBF flywheel. Put it in the car. Make headers.

Pretty sweet setup!

Any more pics?

Recent picture with new front cover and stupid dampener I bought from Summit. .002 slip fit. Called Summit to complain. Tech? told me that a thousandth of an inch was very small and if it was within .005 I should be happy. What a moron. Anyway I now have new B&J dampener honed for proper press and am still waiting for cam drive gears. Finishing up the pan. Got the flywheel. Need rear seal mounts and lines for oil and fuel pumps. Slowely. Haven't been out in the shop this week. Did buy a new GMC van to replace my '92 Dodge. Anybody need a Cummins Dodge with 100800 miles. 5 speed tool box, exhaust brake, air bags and compressor in rear. push bar.

And I had a lot of ideas for running a flathead. But I have it so I'm going to run it.

Looking good Rich!

Your engines are never mainstream, and always perform so awesome! I really dig the engines you choose.

How about enlightening us about your flathead ideas, mentioned above? I know someone who is all ears! :-D

Hope to see this on the salt this year

It would have been pretty much along the lines of the Plymouth 4 except for the intake. And the bigger bore shorter stroke of the Dodge. But I never took much in the way of pictures of the Plymouth. People send me pictures of it in the museum. But never apart.
