rats, cats out of the bag then. I wouldn't get excited just yet, it'll be some way off time wise. The costings are looking OK, but it is the 5 axis machined liner that is the killer at the moment, I'm trying to simplify the design so I can use a 4 axis machine.

The intention is to make versions for both big and small bloack motors based of the 350LC and Banshee pistons. It is an iron lined alloy kit, this has provided some advantages in some respects but more than a few technical problems in others. The plan is that it will cover the best of the original features ( 9 oversizes stock look or performance and masses of torque at low revs), produce substantially more power, be supplied with a specifically cast & machined cylinder head and have a U pipe option for connection to clubman boxes.

It is a bit of a work in progress, current development area is the exhaust, I've drawn multiple designs from traditional single to some pretty exotic 4 port exhaust configurations which are a bit out left field. There a lots of technical and commercial balls to juggle and getting the right balance will not be easy or quick.

I was up all night polishing that chrome you know.

Eden, Where has the BB code option gone in the archives. last time I put pictures up it was easy, can't seem to fine anything now.

There you go, pretty impressive what solidWorks can do. Timings are 126 transfer and 172 - 177 exhaust depending on how wide I can make it, the wider it can go the lower I can make the timing (172 would be the ideal but Is suspect it will be a bit higher).

should start knocking them heads out ...i recon they will cool way better

[joee]

where do we put our names down rich?And parilla inspired heads...like it.

IAME Parilla have been a very big inspiration on this and also the original GT. The last engines I had were TT65 and TT75 variants but I'd been messing around with TT31's in the 80's and if you look at these engines and the current crop such as the Leopard and reedster you can see the origins.
