We will have to be patient for still quite a while I'am afraid. But imho, its fun enough to see and follow the developments of the project.

The intake manifold you see is just a temporary one which was used for flow bank testing. The throttle body is a Jenvey one with IDF bolt pattern, but the actual test engine may be outfitted with a different set. We are still in test fitting stage right now.
One of these days a mock-up of the actual test engine with three heads and the full distribution will be trial fitted in a bug engine bay to see if everything runs freely.

Best regards,
Walter

Great stuff guys, really an inspiration!

Hopefully it can give that extra push into the reliable 100hp/liter range on a naturally aspirated engine.
Makes me wonder even more what it would do with a turbo on it :idea:
If you would like to make a 'blown' experimental engine at the time, please give me a call

Great project!

Good to see we can be found "in the wild"

I just finished putting up a few new photos Roberto shot of the Distribution...

And: Yes, that strap is temporary and so are the cylinders by the way...

These people are really starting to #!$$ me off in a major way

Why do they leave us in the dark for so long about which of our firstborn we have to sacrafice to the gods of ACVW's?

Have we asked to be tortured in this manner by loving the cars we do? I think not.

Please...I beg of you...stop this madness and I'll allow you to use me and my Ghia as a test dummy for open track events and time trials for durability and reliability. Heck, I'll even do some Silver State Classic stuff to show the engine's ability for sustained high rpm usage.

Just please don't make us wait much longer...
