Perhaps you folks have forgotten that Nick has been selling a redesigned coolant pump for several years. These pumps incorporate a curved...
I machine the blocks for Nick's large bore 308 engines using sleeves of my design I make at my shop using Darton ductile iron sleeve blanks. I...
They made good torque with that engine. I saw that. Nick's ran on Carobu's dyno with the stock exhaust system bolted up. It was not a tuned...
Mark, The problem with increasing the lift is having to increase the duration to keep the cam nose on the follower on these cam on follower...
Correct on the reason for increasing the intake valve size. The increase in valve size left more material to reshape the short side radius....
If it were possible to install cams with 1" of valve lift in the stock 2V heads, you wouldn't flow any more air. The stock head dies at .300"...
I don't know what the Ford pickup looks like. If it is similar to this Electromotive unit, you can make something like the setup in the photo....
I don't see where you would get the wrist pin into the oil ring groove with a stroked 308 unless you used a much longer than stock con rod....
Apparently you don't seem to understand that I am the one who did all the work developing Nick's 3.5 engine. If I tell you the compression ratio...
If air flow is increased by hogging out the ports, you are correct, the car will run worse than before. The idea is to increase the air flow...
The short turn radius in the intake port is almost non existent on the Ferrari head. I was able to increase the radius by using a larger intake...
The hold up has been $$$$ for the most part. Too cold where Mark moved to work on the car over the winter months. He is back to work on it now...
Sean, 321 stainless for turbo headers to stand the heat. Burns Stainless in Costa Mesa is the source for pre bent tubing, turbo flanges, turbo...
The valve seats are distorting when the heads are bolted up. Pretty common on some engines. I would recommend doing the valve job over with a...
The O2 sensors are heated which makes them more expensive. Don't complain. Some are a hundred bucks more. Check the connections to the four...
I have a lot of experience with Dynomation. I have used Dynomation for over ten years now for many types of engines. One was Nick's 3.5 liter 2V...
I have a pair of stock 2V carb manifolds here. These are off Mark Lewis 308 as I recall which is a US model, not Euro. I'm not sure of the year...
That's correct. Note that the conversion factor will be close but not exact. The only way to get actual flow data at 10" would be to flow the...
Yes, I used the stock manifolds with 40 mm throttle bores. You would need a custom intake manifold to go any larger. Linkage is much straighter...
Chris, I machined a set of 3/4" thick lexan spacers for Nick's 3.5 liter engine to go between the throttle bodies and intake manifold. The...
