Tapas de cilindro Argentinas con Arbol de levas a la cabeza.

Thank you. No problem, I understand. :wink:

The best way is to host them on Image Shack or Photo Bucket, then post a thumbnail linking to larger photos, so you can see the details.

Here's a pic I have of it.

Meteoro,

¿Quién(corredores) utiliza actualmente las tapas? (Who uses the heads?)

look at the soon to be built heads in the background.

These heads even estan developing, does not plow on sale. They are going to be used in prototype of the ex- Paris Dackar. They are derived from the aluminum heads that we used today in our Ford of 1/4 of mile.
 
Hello,

I just stumbled with this post while talking to Meteoro.
Like Meteoro said, this head has been made for an argentinian vehicle that is going to participate in the formerly known as "París-Dakar" rally. It's not welded, the mould is unique. It is of course based on the argentinian aluminum head, but the ports and chambers have been tailored for the specific application.
Valvetrain is operated by a multiple gear assembly. No chains or belts.
I believe the OHC requirement was dictated by the guy who's behind the whole project.
About the crossflow idea, that would be a nice thing to have with an OHC head, but on a OHV application, port shape is compromised by the pushrod holes (like in a V8 head), and coupled with parts interchangeability, it's not really worth it.

Best regards,

Martín
 
This head Meteoro is showing is unique.But in Argentina a factory still builds and sells a nice cylinder head.A head that was developed and used back in the day for a 221 CI six by Ford Motors Company of Argentina.They used it on the Falcon Sprint.This Sprint was very fast car.Designed for a removable intake manifold layout.It does not have an over head cam,it's not aluminum.They have two more heads,one for use with compresed natural gas and one for use with gasoline.Just go to: www.ronicevi.com to get informaton and order this parts over the phone at a reasonable price.

The page is expired, unfortunately. I've done some digging, but I don't think he's got another site up at the moment.
 
thanks left coaster (13n)
from right coast.
Hafta wait....
 
8) nice find meteoro, it shows that the inline six is still a viable power plant in vintage cars. perhaps mike can import them for those that want to build a high end six? assuming they become available for sale.

martin, good to see you back, we miss you and your insight. hopefully you will start to contribute more in the future.
 
nuttin wrong w/sturrin up a lill interest...
 
Yeah, it's neat, but there's a point at which you've changed the motor so much from its original design that I start to ask, why not just drop a Supra Turbo engine in there? You'd spend a lot less money and have a reliable FI mill that will crank out 500hp all day long.
 
True, I think it comes down to how much modification a person can stomach. I was talking to a guy with a amazing restored 64 convertible rambler (stock) who couldn't believe I'd deviate from stock at all, super purist. Also for me I like messing with stuff (I'll build my own intake for the fun of it) and if I had the capital to waste, I'd develope an aluminum block not because we need it or because there aren't better engines out there, but because it would tickle me.

I've staked out my ground around the Ford six (US or Aus, TBD) but at the same time I don't have an issue with the tokyo drift mustang with the Nissan turbo in it and there is a lot to be said for the Supra Turbo, always liked them.
 
admiring, enjoying, imagining is different than owning. (almost like hair styles or sompin, to each 'is own, who can figure on 'taste' or, nother wrd: style).
I like yer idea bout modin something - can have both...
As close as stock w/ some - a lill - modern technology is great/ideal to me.
The 250 with the oz head/intake is bout perfect... almost zero other mods (tires 2, a course).
