My mods on 200 Super Pursuit

yer gettin a marine engine shipped to ya from Hue Hes Hay?
:shock:
WoW

trying to sort the funds first, guy who owns it name is Marlo, thats all i know, i have this other deal with head, carbs and extractors come up the other day, so brought it. I would love that little mec injected 170, the thought of it with a magneto and solid cam makes me weak at the knees and reminds me of the Hotrod May 1960 magazine cover, if i buy it thats what i will do for now, just make a piece out of it before i decide to use it. Put it on a trolley stand and paint it all up. My ulteriour motive in all this is to reproduce some parts. Not sure how this will be recieved on the board here, but i am in Australia and we have a can do attitude, there is a market for it, but i wont be stepping on any toes. nor am i interested in alloy heads.
 
I am designing and preparing a 3D Solidworks model for an EFI intake for the Big Six engines. It would be neat to make one for the guys with the Small Six that mill off the log intake. I've got an aluminum foundry and many casting patterns i've already designed and made, any interest in something like that for the little engines.
 
might be cost restrictive to have these poured overseas, we had a decent foundry where i live in Toowoomba, was the life blood of this city and a big employer, they are now gone, they amongst other things did racer pro heads for chev there. Do you have a machine which automatically gets a 3d image of a part then replicate the same part in bulk with either a cnc machine or water cutter? The guy i got a quote from here wants 12,000 grand to do a manifold, that is from start to completion with drawings and concept through to making the moulds, and getting me one manifold to test, i thought thats not to bad, but he mentioned a RRP of 3295 for a manifold with throttle bodies and i need to do 10 at a time, not sure of my actual cost. I was doing the same thing with converting XF falcon crossflow distributors to log motor ones and selling a kit with box, coil etc, local company does the kits and conversion. Its all money and not something i want to become rich from, justa hobby business that will pay for my car and motors.

Well, actually...my 20 page album covers most of what you need, with a high percentage from yours and mines favourite ever book, the 1990 Hot Sixes Street Machine book with the 292 Chevy on the cover.

To see it all, just click on an image below, and then click on "xecute's Bucket". Type in Agent86, capital A,no space between t and 8. I asked you not to tell me that chief, its Kaos....

Well, care of sp_alloy_head memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=11143, the Argentines did the sawn off log second after Holman and Moody.



Then a host of Americans, like Big Al the Hackmiester, who's tool of choice was the Sawzall.

Big log was a D8

Aussie Motec Hilbourne style EFI runners with top mount injectors at 30 degree draft angle, taken from the 1990 Hot Sixes Street Machine book with the 292 Chevy on the cover.

 
And on page 19, there are these. Bootleg 2V's, saw off log guns, the whole nine yards

Read and feed, pilgrim.

Our San Francisco buddy rickwrench http://www.rickwrench.com/index79.htm with a T5 equiped Falcon Squire runs the same head as our 67 Falcon 200 engine, the small log. It has the 1.125" ports like this when sawn off. Thats way smaller than the small ports of the 1.3" port diameter ports of any Alloy Head XD to XF engine. And way down on the 1.6875" of the 2V 250 XY and XA

See http://www.rickwrench.com/falcon250-2Vhead.html

As you saw and look on the C1 to C6 head, this is what you'll find

Frost plug, which can be uses as a securing lug for a plate if a screw in welch plug is used

The exhast ports become well sized with the short turn radius cut off.

sp_alloy_head supplied me with the SP 221/Max Econo 3.0/ME188 intake details, a cut-off log cylinder head with bolt on intake and a straigt out Holden XT5/XT6 style exhast.

Thanks buddy, now i am in log heaven, there are hardly any pics on the net, and here i was drooling over black and white last night.
 
Thanks mate, never heard of the kit, i cant wait, saw my engine builder today, going to tune the car today and then down the track do the motor and put the new gear on.
 
My mechanic mate did the timing on my motor today or at least tried, first thing was was How is this thing running, rotor cap is quite loose, timing was at 20 and stayed at 20 when revved, he still couldnt figure how loose the rotor was and we both though maybe the dizzy weights are buggered but car runs fine and great, we set initial at 30 as its not increasing when revved, no pinging or running on and not harder to start, he is still bemused as to why i should have so much rotor cap movement, maybe the cap is wrong or the dizzy is not to well, any tips would be appreciated as to the hows and whys.
 
Sounds like the mechanical advance is stuck. Its pretty common. Usually the shaft and advance plate need to be polished slightly to remove build-up that is causing it to not move.
 
most lkley your mechanic has never seen a loadomatic distributer

if you have a std XR 200 -it has the loadomatic distributer .
it has no mechanicl advance
it relies on advance by vacuum only via the diaphram and matching carb.SCV (spark control valve)

check your diaphram.- ie hose + suck on it and see if draws air thru

most likely has a hole .

and probbly now the vac line + drillings in carb are now blocked -full of dirt sucked in thru the diaphram hole.

carb cleaner + air to clean
google loadomatic on here

put up a pic of the carb and vaccuum lines and distrbiuter internals for positive id.
 
your probably right so initial timing that doesn’t advance could be from this? What about when i fix it if its the culprit as its now got 30 initial, what will it go to then? 40?
 
i took the vac line off, blew it out, it worked well because it now had enough vac to not idle at all, couldnt' get it to run. the idle screw was almost out for the non vac arrangement, had to be screwed in a fair way to get it back up and running, made a very noticeable difference. The lack of vac problem i would say the previous owner had compensated for it with the idle screw almost being out. Anyway she runs a lot better and i did it myself. Now i can go racing in the knowledge its all good.
