[DeTomaso] Fw: Dyno Project Update

[Will Demelo]

Just a reminder to those who haven't yet contributed to the dyno project : 
"get off your wallet and send 20 measely bucks over to Dan". I'm sure at one 
time or another we'll all benefit from the info. It takes about 3 clicks of 
your mouse to get the money over.

> A quick update on the 351C dyno project.  So far, I've received payment
> or pledges covering more than 9 days on the dyno.  Hoping for 11 or 12
> days of funding before all is said and done.  The dyno test engines 
> available
> at this point include:
>
> 1 351CJ (stock open chamber 4V engine with 16k miles)
> 2 351C short blocks (0.030" over TRW forged flat top pistons)
> 1 Boss 351 (rebuilt with Crane solid flat tappet cam)
> 1 407 Fontana aluminum block with C302B high port heads
> 1 416 FRPP aluminum block with Yates C3H heads
>
> We're not sure if they will fit the dyno but we have 3 sets of 180 degree
> headers available (4V, high port and Yates flanges), along with a set of
> sprint car headers (high port flange).  Mike Trusty wants to come up for
> a couple of days so it looks like we are going to dedicate those days to

> (58mm in Mike's case).  I'd really like to do a converted single plane

> Here's a first cut of the time I'm allocating:
>
> 2 days 2V heads
> 2 days 4V heads
> 3 days aluminum heads (A3, C302B, Pro Comp, CHI)
> 2 days fuel injection
> 2 days Autolitle Inlines and Webers
>
> I'll post a summary of the specific parts available for the dyno testing
> later but, at this point, it's probably better to list the parts we still
> need to round out the testing.  Also, I'm working on a test plan with
> sequence of parts testing.
>
> Also, there are several PayPal payments pending because I set up a
> personal account which has a $500 monthly limit, as well as a 5
> credit card transaction anual limit.  I'll convert that to a premier
> account shortly which will take a 2.9% cut but will allow unlimited
> contributions.
