  1. I will try to correctly locate the injector ports in the cylinder head flange from the drawings I've received from Ron.

     

    Justin,

     

    They're offset .150" from the centerline of each runner. Drawings should pretty clearly indicate which direction, per cylnder. If you need me to work on that aspect of the drawings just shout.

  2. since you're still designing, why not add a second set of injectors?

     

    On paper, this is a great idea... small primaries, coupled with large secondaries up stream. Keep in mind the costs and complexity go up significantly... double the injectors, double the fuel rails, double the mounts/bosses, potential accessibility issues with the secondry set, blah, blah, blah.

     

     

    like sequential.... one for better atomization one for direct fuel

     

    Actually, what you're referring to is 'staged' injection. Sequential refers to the injectors being timed with the valves, opening once every other revolution. As opposed to batch-fired, opening every revolution with disregard of valve timing.

  3. Paul do you think the gain in atomization by moving the injectors back on the runner will be worth while?

     

     

    My feeling is that you'd have to move them farther than you have to make it worth while, say inside the plenum, directed straight down the runners throat. Anything less than that isn't worth the extra expense and complication (don't forget the mounts for the rail). IMO, flange mounted injectors are an elegant overall compromise.

  4. LoL.. ya a pilot Ron?!

     

    Roger that.

     

    Im workn on my instrument rating right now .. commercial by the end of the summer =)

     

    Very good!... how far along in your IR training?

     

    I'm 'finished' with my IR so to speak... passed the written (most difficult test I've ever taken) and fulfilled all curriculum requirements. I just need to take the practical. I'm slowly plinking away at a CFI position. Probably get stretched out over years, as instructing would be primarily for the enjoyment of it.

     

    I expect a ping when you get your IR and Commercial.

     

    Best of luck!

  5. Not sure what you mean. I thought the 240s and early 260s had the doors with no reinforcement, and the 280s had the reinforcement.

     

    I believe its correct to associate the latch change with the door reinforcement... that happend circa '77, near as I can tell.

  6. It seems even a thermal barrier coated plastic intake would be a good idea. And coat the runners inside as well...

     

    For what its worth, Finish Line Coatings refuses to ceramic coat the interior of an intake manifold... ingestion risk should any of it 'depart', they claim.

  7. Looking good Justin.

     

    I have a couple comments, if I may...

     

    I added slight cutouts(0.050") to center the runners to the flange. Also, I added material to make the runners easier to weld up.

     

    I wouldn't (and didn't) do that. Considering the weight of the plenum, over the years, the pounding could work at the welds. None of my welds at the tubes carry any weight. I ran my tubes the full 1" depth (into the flange), beveled them, and welded them on the mating surface (fly cut afterwards). This way the flange carries the weight and the welds only 'keep it together'.

     

    In other words, at the time of this picture, there wasn't a single weld, but you could stand on the outboard flange...

    I also had this idea for the top bolt holes. Let me know what you guys think. I'm not a machinist, so I'm not sure which design is more efficient (cheaper) to machine.

    The above picture is what my original drawings reflected (regarding the bolt bosses). While it is more attractive, I feel that method would allow more deformity to develop in the gasket. I'm of the opinion you'll get a more consistent seal with your original, 'flush' bosses.
