Long rods!

[robertf03]

Long rods! More dwell time= more torque.

[robertf03]

so the forged rods and 12cc 305 pistons work out to about the stock CR

concerns:
piston is about .090 further below deck height than stock (around .065)
rover pins press in to the connecting rod, I think GM does it differently. may require machining piston
will require reaming connecting rods to bigger diameter
requires .035 overbore from stock, may require resleeving the block
cast pistons vs stock hyperkickasstectic

The new steering worked much better, but not much thought went in to the brackets other than where the holes need to be

This should will weigh half as much and looks a little more refined

who are you having waterjet/laser your parts and bend them?

[robertf03]

its plasma cut at a school, I'll let him chime in if he wants it known that he's got a plasma table, if you can't piece it together with context clues in the thread.

Going to bend it on a friends press brake.

Had a machine shop in fort worth do the pulley hub.

You ever use thomas net to send out RFQs?

[RCcola55]

The cut quality is not a 100%, but that is due to a bolt together table being a pos

[robertf03]

so this was first noticed around TCC last year, with lots of help from BMF it was hammered back in place and welded up and made it through a few more outings before buckling, made it through a few runs after that too with lots of rubbing



Cut it off and found it had ripped the weld from the frame.



cut out a patch, snaked it in there with a stud welded to it and blasted it in place, replaced mount with YRM heavy duty mount



Now it drives very different. That preload in the steering hid the alignment problems. Now I can get some readings of a machine and get the swivel balls drilled to correct caster.

hmmmm

York compressor?

[robertf03]

Mini York, super compact is what I think its called. 209 displacement like the mid sized bigger one. That arb compressor sucks goat balls.

Designing it to use off the shelf 04 disco serpentine belt and pulleys. Having to remember custom parts years later is no fun

[Sharpe]

Does the compressor come with a serpentine pulley? If not, I have a link bookmarked on my dead laptop for a serp pulley for a regular York from some medium duty application that's only like $80.
