Hello again, so in the time since we last were together some interesting things have been going on. The farm is now home to a milling machine, it recently arrived and is in the process of being set-up and hopefully we will be milling over the up-coming holiday.
In car news I am focusing full steam ahead on the 72. The engine is at Auto Machine in St. Charles. I am going with a 72.5 mm bore with a low compression piston. This should produce a 1350cc, which if all goes we will be fitted with a supercharger. I am going back and forth on what blower to use, I am thinking the vintage centrifugal vane will win out, but I am keeping an eye open for a small Eaton.
With this development I think I will switch the driveline: wheels, hubs, and axles off of the 76 so that I will have the hopefully more reliable and robust alloys on the blown car. Also I'm looking at cams for the forced induction car, so if anyone has some insight on this, please let me know!
Well there will be more to come!
- Jay
