My 2.4 Six Engine, Manufacturing prototype intake adapters. Options

[McMark]

I picked up this 2.4 six awhile back and I'm gonna use this thread as I develop the engine which will eventually go in my gold car.

I'm starting a little out of order, but too bad. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

So I have this aluminum flywheel. No manufacturer stamps or numbers on it whatsoever. I'm thinking that it might be too light for a street car, so I may not use it. It's about 3lbs by itself. I've got a 914 clutch adapter (basically a cut down 914/4 flywheel that bolts to the outer edge) and that brings the total flywheel weight to about 10lbs.

I want a streetable car, is this thing too light?

2 flanges cut.
Two pieces of tubing, cut stretched, welded.
Then tig it all together...


As I was thinking about it, you should be able to hammer a tube to get 10 mm out of one end....
I would think a bit of time on the sharp end of an anvil, with some patience, you could make the tube cone shaped..

Just a thought.

Also, aren't the Ida carbs 46 mm?
What kind of parts can you find using that stuff?

Might want to contact Eurometrics, he specializes in the old carbs...
