Engine Configuration for new project
Engine Configuration for new project
(OP)
I have decided that for this years non-profit-fun-project I will make a set of patterns to make a new engine block, and or cylinder head. My problem is that after considering the many possible configurations I have not been able to settle on one design.
The following is a list of configurations that I am considering, please suggest any others that you think would be interesting or useful.
1. Four valve heads for the gen 3 (LS1,LS6) small block Chevrolet based on components from the Quad 4 head.
2. A V-12 (60 deg) version of #1
3. A V-12 (60 deg) version of a Big Block Chevrolet or 429 Ford SCJ
4. A revival update of the Offy 4, with narrower valve angles and higher ports.
Any ideas or suggestions appriciated.

that audi 20v makes a pretty flat torque curve [seat of pants dyno;)]
Could u imagine a 40valve LS6?....
*drools*
But I think u'd do the Chevy guys a favor by building the 4valve LS6/LS1 heads.
Keep us posted
RE: Engine Configuration for new project
I think may have something there, I have been asking around the LS1 people and they seem to have some interest in a better head. I am going to have a look at some cars with ls1 in them to see if a 4 valve could be made to fit.
