well I forgot o get pics last week but not all is lost. friday when I go in for my shop day I will get some before I start ewelding. what I have going on is this....
first I turned some injector bungs from mild steel on a lathe (nothing fancy dimensions found online) I then tossed the bungs in the mill and cut a 45 face on the bottom of them (they will sit vertical in the log and didn't want to block the ports)
second I tossed the old direct mounted head project on a mill and bored 1 1/8" holes into the top of the "runners" on the log. the bungs are sized to fit loosly in these holes (I wanted a little alignment play in them....I have about 1/16" gap to weld on)
friday I will weld in the bungs and maybe clean up the directmount pad a little bit. I will get pics of the process and progress on it. this is an idea I have had for a couple years but never had the time/money/parts to make it happen. just let me state that this is not an ideal installation but just having fun with it. so far I have less than $100 in the project (mostly Ni welding rod) the head is getting a full rebuild after all welding is finished on it (decking and valvejob) I have no idea how well this will work but is purely for the educational factor and being a do'er
