5 main, chev, crankModel A engine 1 Attachment(s)
I know this is not for ever one, so don't look if you do not want to see a chev crank in a, A engine.
After a couple of years I'm back working on this engine. Today I started to make rods for this engine out of 7075 Alum. I made a wooden one first to make sure my math was right. If there is any interest I can post some pictures of making the rods along the way. This engine will be for my home built over head cylinder head. |
Re: 5 main, chev, crankModel A engine Interest here
Pics please Mr Miller |

Re: 5 main, chev, crankModel A engine Ok I will take them after each operation. Also I will be using 283 Chev pistons.

Re: 5 main, chev, crankModel A engine George, Whittle away and lots of pictures please! Gary

Re: 5 main, chev, crankModel A engine Would love to see more about the crank installation also. Is that a timing chain that I see? That looks real interesting.
|
Re: 5 main, chev, crankModel A engine I'm watching, interesting

Day one. The picture of putting in wrist pin holes. Also the wooden rod that I made to make sure my math was right. Also to make sure it cleared every thing in side the engine. The alum rods will be a little different in shape.

Re: 5 main, chev, crankModel A engine Please keep the pics coming. Are you building a racing motor for the salt flats???

Re: 5 main, chev, crankModel A engine Thanks for this post Mr. Miller. How about some specs on the crankshaft. Been trying for some time to find one like this. Never thought to look at chev as the source.

Re: 5 main, chev, crankModel A engine NIce! Never seen anybody whittle a rod out of barstock. Good Luck:)

Re: 5 main, chev, crankModel A engine Im most curious how you handled the cam lobe timing.

Re: 5 main, chev, crankModel A engine It looks like the center lines of #2 and #3 journals may be offset from the bores? I'm curious how you will handle that. Ron W

The 153 crank would be great, but it is to short for the A block. The A block is wide between 2,3 cylinders because of the dist. going through the head and into the block. |
Re: 5 main, chev, crankModel A engine George, I don't think you can get a "smooth" firing order using the V8 90 degree crank. Depending on how you set up the valve timing, a 720 degree firing cycle would go 180-90-180-270 or 180-270-180-90. You can't get 180 degrees of crankshaft rotation between each of the 4 cylinders in the firing cycle. Seems to me the engine would run ruff.

Re: 5 main, chev, crankModel A engine Yep, as Al said..........I wonder if it will sound like a pair of John Deere tractors running together?:confused::D
It will be interesting..........as well as a lot of work. What is the stroke? |
