    1/5th Scale V8 Blown



    This is the official kickoff of the blown Demon V8. I’m going to start a new thread so there will be no confusion to someone who starts reading the other thread.
    I looked over the parts in the garage. I did make a lot of stuff for the second engine but when we started getting to the end a lot of the “I’ll make two” went out the window.
    Among the big parts is the block. The block and oil pan are 100% complete. The liners and lifter bushings are pressed in and the bores are finished and ready for pistons. That will save at least a week and maybe two. The bell housing adapter and bell housing are also done.


    The heads are done 100% and the valve cages are pressed in. One head has the valves installed. Both heads will need the rockers installed. All the pieces for the heads are made and tucked away for the later process.


    The intake is nowhere. I made the blank but still need to do everything. This manifold will be completely different than the carbureted unit.


    The valve covers are done but will need some kind of work to fancy them up a bit.


    The camshaft is cut and assembled. I still need to do all the hand work to smooth out the cam lobes.


    I also have the Timing cover done as well as the balancer and blower pulley.


    I’m thinking the place to start is with the block. I’ll get it trimmed out with crankshaft, rods, pistons and so fourth and just roll from there. It will be a slow start because of the holiday ending and I have a lot going on in the next 2 weeks.
    HERE WE GO AGAIN!!

    If I didn't have 20 other unfinished projects I would start building one as well. I will keep watching all the progress just to see what I am missing.

    In the thread header there is a menu "Thread Tools". One of the items in that menu allows you to subscribe to a thread without having to post subscribe messages. That reduces the amount of noise in the thread and ensures that when you get notifications, there has been real content added to the thread (unlike this message ;-))

    I think the idea behind the "I'm subbed" posts was more for Steve's benefit letting him know his fan club is ready and waiting for the show to begin.

    As long as it has a gate.

    I instantly though of you guys when I ran across this video, watch the crazy final boring procedure. Think this has more than 500 lines of G code?

    Fannblade,
    Ive seen that vid its impressive. I cant imagine trying to program that without CAM software. the high speed 5 axis is cool lets you do all kinds of things you cant do with a conventional mill. porting heads comes to mind
