![]() ![]() 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!! Last edited by stevehuckss396 : 08-23-2013 at 04:27 PM. Reason: Title changed due to lack of explosions |

![]() I assumed you meant supercharger because of the blower pictured in the other thread and references throughout to "there will be a second one with a blower". Still I can understand some confusion...
Cant wait to see what you make of this one ![]() ![]() |

![]() Like the spoon said, I knew you were making a blown one because I have read the whole of the other thread, heart did skip for 27.5 milliseconds though til the brain got hold of the correct meaning of "blown" in this case.
As with the normally aspirated engine, you have my attention ! Steve

![]() Just thinking...would it make sense to make the title say "1/5th Scale Blown V8" rather than "1/5th Scale V8 Blown" ? think the title as it is suggest the existing v8 gone asploded, where the other suggests a blower v8?
I can change it in a jiffy just wanna be sure it makes sense to others. ![]() |
