Austin Healey Alloy Engine Block

sure it's not a Porsche motor, but the basics pretty much apply to most engine blocks and heads.....

You need to view all 4 pages (Patternmaking, Casting, Machining and
Assembly) to get a good grasp on how it is done.

finding this site has nothing to do with me visiting someone this weekend that is building thier own foundry so that I can get some tips or the fact that I just bought a crucible that can hold 35 pounds of melted aluminum.....no engine blocks for me...however the thought of new watercooled heads sounds appealing  :screwy:  :smash:  :welder:

Mike,
When you get your foundry up and running please make some of these. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif) If you cast the cases and machine the cranks I'll pay for the cylinders and heads. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) (Yeah, ok, that's a bit of a lop-sided deal.)(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-2-1123795796.jpg)
