Re: New block

I'm with you . . . because when I tend to throw "names" at engines, they're usually not ones I can repeat at Thanksgiving Dinner with Mom! :eek:

Re: New block

It is not hard to get to 304 cubes . . . or larger, it is a matter of how long of stroke are you going to run. An issue that comes into play is the length of the piston skirt and pin location...

Re: New block

Come on Tod . . . give us enough bore thickness to go to a 3.5" bore . . . I want the extra cubes! You can do it - just give me about a .150 wall thickness at that size. :)

Even if I have to...

Re: New block

I can see no issue with this - having holes in the heads and not in the deck will not cause an issue - as the water still has plenty of other places to flow and is not under high pressure. I'd use...

Re: New block

All great stuff!

Pushing the Boundaries: I love the conversation and that we're talking about things that are beyond where the new design should go (for purposes of being applicable for the...

Re: New block

I think you have the right idea - as there are a zillion ways to build a flathead Ford. There are many guys that will want a 'new' and reliable engine that is close to stock specs (bore, stroke,...

Re: New block

Land Speed Racing: They would have to create a new class - not any different than having a different class for OHV conversions (like the Ardun). If you didn't do this, then the 'new block' could...

Re: New block

I don't see a problem dropping the guide down - as most of us have to shim the springs about .120 anyway (to get enough spring pressure with high performance cams). The more important aspect of the...

Re: New block

Hey Tod - I like the way you're thinking it through. Having partial flow between the cylinders is probably a good idea - versus a "full siamese" top-to-bottom. I really like the idea of a 3.5"...

Re: New block

Couple More Options, Ideas to Consider:

1) Making a 21 stud version would be the most valuable if the outside of the block really looked like an original - so that somebody taking a pretty serious...

Re: New block

Hey Tod - if Ray is willing to help you, then you've found the guy that has done more with 3D modeling of the flathead block than probably anybody else. He would be by far the best resource you...

Re: New block

Me (as a performance and race builder) would think about the following -- just to kick it around:
1) Thicker deck surface - like 1/2" - with the bosses for stud locations
2) Thicker or better...
