:bwuhaha:That's not DG you're cuddled up to, quit snapping my thong!
Yup, sounds like the one I gots. Vaccum disconnect front axle? Howsat woik? :wtf: Any ideas for decent after market axles/diffs? (i know I'm getting in over my head at the moment but I'm looking to the future on this one)The New Process went to New Venture...same folks different name.
The np 242 is the "select trac" transfer...allows full time 4 wheel. Great for the street and medium wheeling, but doesn't do a full front back lock, as I recall. I think you have that stupid ass vaccum disconnect front axle too.![]()
I already have a large stock of heads and my plan is to buy rebuildable motors and it is not a lot more to buy them complete with heads.
I would then build the blocks with new heads and then port the heads and sell them.
But the first thing I have on tap is 5 factor factorial experiment That I will analyze using ANOVA or regression analysis.
I will Compare Small block Heads I own ported J heads and Stock 273 heads I will add 302 heads then ( when I can afford it ) the Indy cylinder head modified Edelbrock sold by ICH as IE-1AS.
I will design a experiment to try the different heads on a 273, 318 and a 360 with 3 different cams and 3 different intakes.
As long time MoPar nuters may remember I did a lot of research and development at intel on plasma reactors and cold wall CVD reactors. My plan is to take the same level of data collection and blind analysis and use it to build the best motors for my friends and customers of Robertson /Tech only through pure R and D will we know both the best cheap head and the best and combos for price and power.
Also if Dr Jass ever shows his head again Dr W will have data to settle the argument if 273's 2536178 or 318's 302 work best on cheap build up.
I am hoping that as I post all this info on the web site that DCF is helping me to set up, it will both inform the masses and send me customers.
I'm sure it's common knowledge by now, but I think I have all of the old Mopar Performance Port Templates in PDF format on my old computer. It contradicts your DOE approach, but might stop you from reinventing the wheel. Let me know if you want them. Plenty of good flow bench "how-to's" on the web which I'm sure are also in your plans. Are you going to base your operations out of Colorado or Arizona?
Later,
