The 572 Straight Valve Killah !!! :)
 

... ok guys, the title was more for Kinsler than anything (lol) as that's what he likes to call this thing, maybe I added the straight valve part, lol, but anyways, I wont get into all my bs life drama crap, that has obviously got me behind the 8 ball with this build as most are aware, but many have been asking for info or updates on the 572 CV-1 engine we are building for my 71' Camaro ...

... I wont throw up too much in the first post post, i'll just try to answer any questions that may come up in the thread, and just try to let the pic's show where we are at right now ...

... short-block is going together, stuck in the clearance phase right now, had a few areas that made contact, so out came the die grinder, almost done with that part, the rods are clipping in some areas, but once that's done we'll check for thrust end play, piston to deck, cam phase etc. ...

... there is quite a bit of work yet in the topend of the engine, but the focus right now is the short-block, then we can finish up the seats, guides, valvejob, hand work as all the CNC work is complete, volume test chambers, piston to valve, etc. so the work then can begin on the custom manifold for this build, which looks to be a lot of fun ...

... i'll just throw up some random pic's of what she's looking like right now ...

nice. good to see things are goin your way

wth kind of carb is that? im guessin its to help center the venturis over the ports?

it's a spread-billet dominator that I sell, and yes, it does help center things up for a spread port layout ...

i had a feelin that you made it. pretty cool

Very Very Nice Parts there Bill.

So how did you determine the Spread Bore Mount Position vs the intake?
Do some Mondello wet flow testing?

Dang! Cool pieces. Where are you trying to make peak torque and peak HP? Those are some big manifold runner entrances. Best of luck in all your endeavors. Hope to see you at Norwalk.

looking good.. plenty of time to have it at Nowalk.

you and magic man!!!!

think it will make a 1000 HP? :eek:

Bill , GET THIS MFr DONE! This thing has to make some power. Get it done and in the car and get your whinny azz in the lane next to me at Norwalk.:)
You were supposed to have this done last year.

Lets go lets go lets go:)

... oh no, way more caveman then that ... basically using parts we already have in the works, and making runners fit them, carb included ...

... you got a tranny I can borrow ?? ... :(

... I think so ... :D

... it should hopefully reach in excess of 6000fpm of mps, but we shall see ... basically as close to 8000rpm as it can get ...

... well, it is in the line up, lol, but its very pricey, as it's a full billet carb except the bowls, so I don't sell many of them ...

Looks good for an engine that doesn't exist, must be our imaginations.

Nice crank. I see you went with the OMNICRON Finish. Pretty nice looking stuff there.

You got a mouse in your pocket? Hows your car coming?

... same process, but yes ...
