Looking good Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I have actually considered something like that , but never have implemented it. Now in the middle of building a new shop I'm lucky to get anything done

I think he meant posting pics of your engine and dizzy so we can see it Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

That would be the ideal scenario , but maybe not realistic for me. Lots of measurements and eyeballing is about the best I will do. I will be measuring combustion chambers to make sure they are equal. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Got one hole pretty well finished - now to duplicate 5 more times

It seems to me I remember some hoses actually being a better fit with 1/4" hoses. I think maybe the supply from rail to carbs is actually 1/4". The 5/16 will work clamped down hard enough , but the 1/4 slides on tightly

Always like to see what the professionals are putting out! Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Maybe just the money shot down the port ? I mean you have the motor right? Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Need more pics of the head work Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

And I meant CR I'll be fuel injected so... I was running an in line Carter Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

So I guess you know what compression your dealing with? It will be interesting what timing you can run. I would definitely get a rich mixture going first. If you can run 35 all in I think you are doing good. Looks like a serious set up, so I would venture it has a cam? Really no details on the engine?

Cmon Steve -is this just a teaser? I've got a thread going here about this engine combo and you just casually say you have one!!!. Stronger than last engine? What timing are able to run? So you sure you have flat tops but in a N42 block? Good to hear about the header, but I was pretty sure that wasn't going to be an issue. The liners should fit well inside the gasket. What octane are you running? I imagine the head hadn't been cut?

Which L28- tell me more

Well I almost( not really) forgot how much work this is . Thank god for the Aleve ! Kind of doing this in the wrong order and now I am paranoid of nicking a seat with all this action. I found one spot already that will need to be checked with some lapping action. Ordered some smaller burrs so I can get around the guide a little better. Meanwhile I started the combustion chamber work. I've been trying a different tool in my arsenal to get things smoothed out. These chambers should come out nice and the 47 design should make for some good bang for the buck. Not going for size as much as clean and smooth and efficient .

I sold the carbs so I don't have any pics handy of the linkage . Never noticed any issues of piping movement . I used silicon couplers thru the radiator core so it probably absorbed the movement - no solid mounts . Still have the CAI- wall art for now. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I vote air box ! Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I thought for the longest time that the design ( shape) was pretty much the only difference . Then I realized the amount of bypassed air was huge on some of them. I swear my triples idled better with I heavy by pass type valve vs the OEM. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I've been a Z car hoarder lately. I have 3 now and not enough parts to put them all together -so ...... Jerry, one of these days id love to see your projects. My wife works on the Richmond campus sometimes- I might drive her there if I could get some Z stuff in!!

Chipping away at it - aluminum chips that is. Blending seats and short side radius and cleaning up combustion chambers . Intakes definetly need a touch up. Larger casting stuff in the valleys .

I'm going a similar route but will have Rebello just prep block for assembly. I'll buy his kit that works for his prep and just do the assembly.

I think I'm running .040-44

Definitely think you will have a market for these. Very nice work Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Damn- I'm excited that I am building something like this right now. A whopping 18x20 Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Cliff , i cant imagine that it wouldn't work. The gasket would just cover the notches . id love to run LD, but it's a lot of work. Injectors and TB to mount. I finally broke down and bought a TIG , so I plan on using it . The LD intake has huge runners and long ones two. You would t think it but the they are twice as long as a N42 intake. So many ideas - so little time

I just bought my 2/71 from the junkyard for 300$ looks a hell of lot better than that- but was still a 300$ mess. Mine was definetly not complete
