I do know that I drive torque, while listening to my friends prattle on about horsepower.
well, I think this is far beyond my skillset or timeframe, but... I planned on putting a small machine shop in the barn, might as well add a smelter to the list of things to buy/build/have. out of curiosity, but a little off topic, unless I'm mistaken, it would simplify the design to create a waterjacketless head would it not? my cousin and I have tooled around with building a drag rabbit, and rather than fill in the waterjacket to strengthen the head, would it be of any benefit to remove it from existence entirely? does anyone run a waterless VW diesel? I've got way too many projects right now to even consider an attempt at this, but with my neighbors help, (he does this with tons of steel at a time for a living) we may be able to make something happen, eventually...
That would be nice, very nice... But I think ill have a hard enough time paying for the iron head for now. Speaking of which, what kind of figures do you think we are looking at. 1K, 1500, 2K each?
