Howdy guys,

So this is a little off of what we nornally talk about.

So here's my thought, if there a way to cut the log to where we can get some sort of sealing surface on it to mount an intake by drill and tapping it, could an aftermarket intake be made for out engines keeping the stock head?

We may be getting a senior design project that makes up come up with a patentable idea. I believe this could be a neat patentable idea. I have a spare 63 170 head that I'm not gonna do anything with, so we could practice on that.

Is this something i should consider trying, or is there no way to do that with the log. I'm trying to come up with an idea to where it's not all that difficult to fix our heads. All that would be required would be a mill to cut back the log to a point, maybe some filler to raise some places, then a resurface.

Let me know,
Ryan
 
Maybe not unless you can come up with a DIY, bolt on at home, easy way to do it without machine shop work.

Even the Offenhauser triple carb conversion is beyond alot of people, and that's just a couple holes drilled in the log.
 
Here’s a couple pictures of some hacking I did on the mill

I. Lynx style Oz 2V intake & some runner options for several carbs (side draft, down). I think U can look at a thread "X" just asnwered for a guy thinkin re 3 x 2v on our i6. I been ta Oz, England & USA lookin 4 one & they stopped makin em (for the USA head). It's ur lop da head idea - plenty here a'bouts, no more lynx...

II. SFI the VI intake...the bosses R there. U'd hafta lookit depth of hole, which injectors, etc. Talk to the guys here who came up w/the rest of the system (all but the cpu I think) trigger wheel, dizzy block off, timing etc).

III. A T3/4 turbo (is this p.muller's suggestion?) at 5 - 10psi. Design the intake/eehaust 'loop' and holder 4 turbo, what carb, draw thru system, where is each component, name each & pts source/exact model blow off valve, etc. Make a sketch any guy could use to DYI the system on his own rig...
 
I actually have a small log head at the machine shop getting the whole side of the head cut off. The guy said he'd do it for $100. Once I have it back, I'm going to start taking measurements. I'm going to take a sheet of plexiglass to start laying out an adapter plate design. I have a 3x HS6 Lynx intake (p/n M060). I'm also going to try to source a Aussie 250 2V intake so that I can get mounting holes in the correct place for that.

The goal is to have mounting options to accept multiple commercially available intakes and exhaust manifolds/headers. I'm hoping to do this without needing any custom made parts or require commercially available part to be modified. Once I have it laid out in plexiglass, I'm going to transfer it to a steel plate and get it all machined up by a buddy of mine.

Right now, the adapter plate have to be something that would be welded up, but it might be something could could end up being cast.
 
get'er done Cat!
Luck B wid ya!
(I'd suggest bolt-ons (like drivetrain adapters rather then welds.)
 
While you're at it, how about a turbo manifold like you can get for a diesel.
I have one of these on my Cummins:

Ouch, after seeing the pic of what the inside looks like it doesnt look like I'm gonna have really any sealing surface for it. I was hoping for more.
You're right frozen, the 2 extra holes in the intake are out of reach for most people. Shoot.

The turbo manifold is a better idea. That can be done. I like that idea. We could honestly probably do that easier too. But what kind of turbo would we use to base off it? To make it mass produceable, we'd need a popular turbo that people would use on the 170, 200 or 250. Pmuller and I were talking about this on the turbo page. We could base it off the G25 or G28 turbo.

Hows this idea?
 
Chad - I should have been more clear. Only the adapter would be welded together. The goal is something that is bolt on: assuming you've milled the log off the same way I do and drill and tap the appropriate holes in the head.
 
sure, sure, all can B done w/internal / external fasteners like adaptors use, no?

Time 4 some CAD or 3D sketches frm Ryan to C if so....

I'll see if we get the patent project. There are about 7 groups, and we each get a different project. If we get the patent one I'll whip some up
 
X2 as far as cutting off the log I think "cr_bobcat" has the right idea. In my opion so many of the log ectomys go too far where you will also need to build some kind a custom intake too, but that's ok if you want to build some thing different. But if you follow the lead of what Ford Australia did in the 1970's for the 250 2V heads it could be a much simpler and faster job. By only cutting the log off in the right place then using a 2V intake gasket (or the V.I. One) making a 1/4 inch plate to add to the intake ports you could use any of the readily available 2V intakes from the stock Ford 2V intake to any of the aftermarket ones including the C.I. / V. I. Aluminum head versions with slight modding to the head plate. I was planning on this same route also, Marco was gracious enough to send me some pictures of his Aussie 2V head and stock intake. There is no real need to ever touch the exhaust flange other than maybe a light clean up cut as there are so many good exhaust headers being made already for them. If I could figure out how to post them from my emails I would. Good luck on your project. (y) :nod:
 
Ford USA adaptoed Volvo avargage bore spacings on the 1974-2001 2.3, 2.0 and 2.5 engines, but the Pinto 2000 had 4.017" bore spacings. Ford decided to use the same intake design, so they made a progressive adaptor to fit the bigger bore spacing engine to the smaller bore center intake manifold.

Have a look at the turbo 2.3 engine pictures in the turbo post, Ryan.

Ford did the exhaust adaptore to the Cleveland 351C, with a Hi Port conversion.

Both ideas are how I solved the port mismatches on the log head and 2V engines. I studied those, and then I made a triple downdraught 4412 Holley 500 cfm carbed intake adaptor. Its very much like the one in this post. https://www.fordsix.com/memberlist.php? ... file&u=130

You lost me a couple of times. You said IR then you said run on the center carb until sorted then add the others.

I'm looking at isolated runner at very low revs. The better Triple Weber D-type Jags and DB5 Astons and even Charger R/T E38's have a magically refined low speed amble when in high gear, despite big cams over 280 degrees. So some kind of spin off from the Offy style progressive linkage, with an ability to run all carbs below 1200 rpm, but just the centre from 1200 to 2500 rpm, and then back on all three from 2500 to 4500 rpm should work really well.

So, you are trying to build a progressive/IR intake?

If the Webers are capable of running in IR configuration, then they will be easier to tune with a plenum?

I have also considered an IR setup and the Holleys are priced right. If the blower and turbo guys can reference the power valve to boost, couldn't we keep the power enrichment and activate it some other way than manifold vac?

The intake manifold has three carbs mounted like the ones above.

At idle, they run all three, independent runner. The log has two flapper valves isolating the three carbs.

Then above curb (kerb) idle (1200 rpm), the flapper valves open up, and the outer carbs drop out of the circuit. Above 2500, its back to independent runner, triple carbs, with the flappers shut.

In this manner, the centre carb runs most of the time, runner high vaccum. Under low vac conditions, it can run richer.

'How' the two flappers operate to convert it from log to isolated is subject to patent!



Its a mixuture of Datsun Z, AMC~Jeep 258 and Argie ME 188/SP 221 elements, with a custom exhaust, custom intake, and everything sawn off.

The Datsun, Ford small six, AMC-Jeep 232/258/4.0 liter intake valve sequence is the effectively the same, despite 3.76/3.937 bores pacings on the Datsun, 4.08" sapacings on the Ford, and 4.375" spacings on the AMC~Jeep.

How it all fits to a log head is very simple and avoids studding it like 64FastRanchero, 67 Straight Six or welding it like all the others. No welding or studding should be your goal.

The Argentina ME 188 and SP 221 are free of the awfull down turned exhaust which does so much to make the US 144-250's Mission Impossible to Modifiy. And free of the Australian 250 2V's crazy shifted out, space wasting intake that makes it very hard to fit three carbs into even a 200 engine bay.

IMHO, the South American Argentina Ford guys got it right first time for simplicity. I told the late Mike W to just make an adaptor to fit the Australian intake to a stock sawn off log head, but he went 100% copy of 2V without an ME/SP to 2v adaptor.

The options are to 2V a log head

Or mate the 240/260/280 Z(X) intake spacings to the log, and use a derivation of its exhaust as well.

The more you do all that, the more the Argentina Exhaust competition fabricated exhasut header lookes like a better option

Don't give up on this one Ryan! If you can think mirror image, or backwards, you can lick up a really good intake using cast off parts.


I've been intimate with the turbo Z18's and L26's and Diesel LD28'S. They all share the same front and rear cylinder 3.76 or so bore spacing, very close to the Kent 1200/1300/1500/1600 engines, last used in the early US Pinto base model and the 1979-80 US market Ford Fiesta.

Datsun and Nissan parts are great quality and awesome bases.

A great thing... the cars were renown rust buckets, worse than the most rust prone Mopars!

A lot of Datsun stuff was ALSO used by Ford via its purchase of 25% of Mazda in 1973. (Mazda and Datsun owned the gearbox company Jatco. Like the Jatco 3 Speed automatic gearbox for 250 Granadas and 1800 cc Ford Courier pickups, and later on, Nissan Pathfinder CFi units on in line Australian Ford Falcon sixes from 1988-1991, they were Nissan Motor Company designs).

Ford USA looked very closely at the Datsun stuff, and Edsel B Ford II remarked in 1980 that the Early Bronco and Ford Falcon based 2 door study of 1968 were the cars that Ford should have used to lick the Range Rover/Nissan Patrol and Datsun 240 Z world wide. Ford decided not to do anything but 289's, 302's and 351's, the in line sixes were always door stops and inventory fillers.....so the multiple carb in line six wasn't really an option pursued. The US aftermarket via Offenhauser, Clifford and Wain in the realy days, had done a lot of twin 2 and 4-bbl inline six intakes, and they give great results, they just didn't ever fit into Fords V8 ambitions.

Ohh! Perty!
Wish i could bolt one onto the 200!



The Datsun L24/26/28 engines all have a close to Ford Falcon six port sequencing, despite the intake being on the other side.

The common 32/36 Weber or Holley Weber 5200 adapter version of the twin Hitachi 1.5" intake can be used on a Ford Six. Even a 4-bbl adapter can be put on the Datsun Intake.


Search "TWIN DGV DOWNDRAFT WEBER 32/36 SUIT L24 AND L26 DATSUN 240Z 260Z", and you find this:-


See this video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?edufilter ... S-lbNyLF20

See the drivers side mounted slanted OHC L26 in this car. It has the common twin 2-bbl 32/36 Weber intake adaptor.

To that, two 4-bbl adaptor can be added.

Sad news, we did not get the patent project for our senior design group, but that does not mean I cannot work on it in the future....
 
Don't worry. :|



;) All this is how engineering works. Doing for 10 bucks what any darned fool can do for 1000.

The Datsun, Jeep and Falcon in line six stuff is very simple to make because of the port spacing. (y)


Enjoy your courses, and remember. Its no good going to a battle having just one good idea. More good ideas is best, but one well executed is all you need. Sometimes three times trying to make the same thing fly. Worked for Henry Ford ....and the Wright Brothers....:nod:

How'd the E model head go? I remember pic of the adapter mounted.
Last I remember wuz the "I'm gunna fill the vac port hole" but its not in ur
signature list. Did U mount it w/the 32/36 & VI adapter? (I C dat inda sig).
:unsure::
ona nother thread?

YOU REMEMBERED! Right on man. So I got it sent to the shop and got it hot tanked and maged, it checked out! I got the new stainless port flow valves from VI and am waiting on them. Then I'll get the whole valve job done. Then i gotta measure my ccs in the chambers, have it cut then slap it on. Actually for the cutting part I'll need to conpare with what I have on the car currently b/c someone overcut the head I have which is why my cranking pressure is 200+psi.

If you wanna talk about this some more, I'll resurrect my E0 head post and continue that. I'm about to start getting a valve job done so I should bring it back up.
 
yep, this thread's gone (4 now).
B nice 2 cont on da other rather than start anew
