Super flo - under cover.

Time to cut up the new cylinder tins for the Super Flo heads,
They needed some cutting, and looks like i have to 
make more room for the spark plugs. not sure but it looks like
that theres no space at all for the wires. next stop is the alternator and 
the fan. maybe theres some plans how and where to cut, 
but lets learn this from the hard way.and the full flow areas
tinware needs to be modified as well, also because 
theres this cam position sensor. more of this later on.

new "lay-out" for the turbo-ghia

i drove to 506 kilometres today to see my black ghia & bring some parts for a mock-up.
i had an idea how to put all the stuff in the engine bay, but when i was trying to make ém there as i wanted, i had to change the plans, for a more easier lay-out, but the best part, is that we can proceed with this new plan. the water/air cooler will be behind the right tail light area, the t04 60-1 turbo will get a longer 90 bend to fit with CB hideaway header, the intake manifold will get a 90 bend over the alternator, after that it will get the butterfly valve and after that comes the cooler, from the cooler to the turbo we will put the dump valve... we will have to get a tank for the cold water, and the radiator also... but in a week the car goes to a welder that will make all the mods, to the brackets, header, injectors, etc...so that the parts can be bolted to the car ...for good. one part that we managed to put in its place, was the wastegate, this is the number four.... huh. check out the pictures... you will get the idea anyway.

Stroker to the panel? Or 2 the vert ghia?

Its hard to decide, which one would be funnier? The panel van goes like the wind, easily, but its not the one that you would like to drive 150 km/h for long...
It would need a red9 fronaxle or something similar... But in the twisty roads its fun, maybe 2 much fun...the fun part would be stopped pretty fast with a 160 hp or so... So what about a 84x94 stroker in a patina ghia vert? That would be fun? ... But the ghias tend to go pretty well even with a 1300 cc... And are fun to drive... Ok, i could try it in that ghia... First. With stock brakes, stock box etc...

But it would be pretty light... So it should be fast aswell! And if these will suck... Then the engine could go to the porsche 912. That would not suck at all...

Some basic info of the engine:
Scat 84 mm
Scat rods porsche bearings
Fk8 cam + straight cut gears
New stroker block from paruzzi
Aa-perf 94 pistons and barrels
Superflows with 48/38 valves
Pauter 1:3 roller rockers
Msd distributor
Carbs or 48 ida throttle bores...
Or a turboset... Will see...
