Are you chopping off the front end of the donor and simply welding it onto the new shell at the factory seams? Does it then require reinforcement to make it a non-death-trap? I'm not educated at all as to how that works for unibody cars, and I... may... need to do something similar soon.

mekilljoydammit posted:No pictures right now, but status report. Got the NA shell into the barn and started drilling spot welds. Plan is to follow the FSM guidelines for where to cut and weld to replace the bits that are damaged because... well, look, why not? And then add stitch welding. Looking forward to seeing how this goes so I can be inspired to pursue it on my own car. Good luck!

Camber on a live axle... Could you make a few extras? That's ridiculously cool.

Dope. Is that the starter up on top of the transmission? I can't identify which engine that is off the top of my head.

Has anybody been crazy enough to try making their own Wankel irons and housings? I'd imagine that casting irons wouldn't be too far removed from what you're doing, but you'd have to figure out how to chrome the combustion chambers as perfectly as possible...Larrymer posted:Neat, but what's your end game here? Do you have any sort of simulation software to show that changes you make will actually be beneficial? Moving ports sound like a huge pain because then you're designing me manifolds too. Otherwise without changes, you'd probably be better off buying used heads than backyard casting them, yeah? Automotive Insanity is the name of the forum.

That's a neato engine stand, did you make it?
