Yes, in fact. Amazing progress.
First order of news, I have obtained an original Bourke 30 CID engine straight from the 1950's. I've completely rebuilt it top to bottom and all I'm waiting now is the cerakoting. I've treated all the parts with RF85 and nikasil coated the cylinder sleeves. I've recently purchase a large leblond lathe a week ago with which I can turn my castings that I poured via the furnace I made to make parts such as pistons, cylinders, crankshafts, etc. My shop is much too small so I'm preparing a foundation for a shipping container to place my lesser used tools as of now. In a couple weeks I'll have the shipping container placed down and I'll unload my new (to me) lathe and install all the wiring to my phase converter. I'll finally be able to turn my castings into final parts and make new crankshafts.
Also good news, in a few weeks I'll be meeting with a private investor that is seriously thinking about kicking me 3 million dollars to construct a rapid prototyping facility for the production of these fickett-jacobs cycle pulse detonation engines.
If that goes well, because my company will have all the forging, casting, and machining equipment for limited niche production runs, I will co-develop a next generation cross flow 4 valve aluminum head with roller bearing shaft mounted rockers and roller bearing lifters for the old Ford 300i6 as a bolt on kit. Additionally, I'll reproduce forged cranks, fully skirted pistons made for 240 rods, and high flow exhaust manifolds for easy turbocharger installation. This should bring the old high nickel 300i6 blocks into the 21st century.
Once I get the lathe installed I'll post some pictures. Give me 3 weeks tops. When I get my original Bourke engine back from the cerakoting shop I'll post pictures of that as well.
