1/8" over the combustion chamber?

I'm confused.  Yes -- what's new?

 Thanks Tony!

Stan, I believe Sparky was referring to post #385, where Dale was talking about sonic testing the port walls. We would not have to leave even .125, but we will until we are comfortable with the tool's accuracy.

Buddy, Something to remember when you are making your dry sump pan. Just like piston technology has come a long way in the last 10 years, dry sump pan designs have also come a long way in the last 10 years. Tony

Thanks Tony!

I'm gonna hijack my own thread here, to show you something really cool!

How about cast 4-71 blower intakes, for the Flatcads? These are soooo cool, and this is the prototype!

Mike,

I enquired about Dennis and Shawn, and received this reply:

Buddy, the car belongs to my friend Dennis, I don't know who Shawn is, posibly one of Dennis friends. if he had a picture of the car with the blower manifold on it, it was probably the silver painted foam mock-up manifold we used to get a idea of what we wanted the finished manifold to look like.

(Think Deliverance.....)The blower to Carb pieces are done and are really nice. A bit specialised, though. Three`97`s on a 4-71, Anyone? :-D :cheers:

Colin is the gent I've been speaking with. There are not many aftermarket parts for the Caddy Flatheads, and this is sure to be a head turner!  :-D

Gary Fisher, owner of the C/GMR #272 car, Invited me over to look at and ask questions about his car's frame and suspension. This is a very well built car, built by Roy Fjastad, and used to carry the #777.


Gary, thanks again! It was fun, and informative! :cheers:

Rear crank seal plates are done. :-D


 The steel one mounts against the block - it attaches with 6 bolts --> two into the main girdle and four into the new rear main cap. There will be a thin gasket between this plate and the block.

 The thicker seal plate is made of 6061 aluminum, it has a recessed location to press in the one-piece seal. It uses a set of counter sunk allen-heads to attach to the steel block plate. It will have a gasket between it and the steel block plate.

 Oil Drain Back: The inside bottom of the seal aligns with a "trough" that I put into the back-side of the rear-main cap, which also has a hole through the cap, and a 1/2" channel that goes into the crankcase area. This gives the oil a place to go -- back to the pan.
