Can't wait to see it Dave, good job. :righton:

where did you get those naca scoops?

I got the NACA duct stuff from Butlerbuilt. I made a template from the original glass and cut them out of Lexan with a router. Made the stainless screens and secured everything with "T"bolt clamps from Summit.

The front trunk is a museum piece! Great work!

cool thanks i am gonna do that on my car

Inching forward
 

I am fighting my way forward on my 2.4L type 4 build. I had to spend more time than normal to fit many parts and spent more time than normal waiting for parts but it is moving forward.
I had a few days off and fitted my DTM. I ended up having to mill near 1/8 inch off the bottom of the alternator stand to get the alternator to sit true and the fan/backing plate to sit properly in the opening. Now I need to get the linkage built. I have one set of center pull linkage but I have had problems with this brand in the past so I am going to try a different center pull rather than use a crossbar set up.
Anyway here is what is in it.
GA case
DPR 82mm crank
96mm KB piston/Bored OE cylinders
CB H beam rods
Web 119/163 cam w/Jakes lifters
Manton push rods
Porsche 2L heads worked by Len Hoffman (all the tricks in his bag)
Mallory Unilight dizzy w/6LA Hyfire and E-coil
45mm Dellorto DRLA's (for now)
Kennedy Flywheel (12 lb.), Press plate and disc
Home Built Exhaust (not shown)

Rest up Laz. I know my dizzy is in good hands. You needed to use it after what happened to yours. Glad I could find you another at the swap meet.
I am waiting on a linkage set so sit on a bag of frozen peas, take a pain killer and rest up.

ive been sitting on these peas for so long now im waiting on them to hatch,who knows what will come out if they do hatch. i got to get up for a while. three days is enough.

Man you are so close now! "Smack Black" is almost back! :driving:

That exhaust is gonna sound nasty!
Looks great Dave!

I am looking at your head cc information and i am seeing 59cc for one head and 56cc for the other is this correct, isn't this going to pose a problem for you when you try to tune it.

By the way nice setup this engine should be nice. Saw on jake's site where he did a 2.4ltr also with a 84mm crank and some 5.9inch rods. The engine made 220HP. Are you using 5.5inch rods on your 82mm crank.

the final camber volume was 54cc for all 4. The sharpie notes were left on along the way. I should have hit them with some brake part cleaner. My rods are 5.7 with chevy main journals.

O.k. great, your rod ratio is 1.76 : 1, good. How wide is the engine? I know for a stock type 1 engine the measurement from the crank center to connecting rod pin center is 211mm. I can't remember if the type 4 is 207mm or 209mm.

So is your engine wider than a stock t4 engine.
