It has recently come to our attention here at Bric Rods that quite a few people do not know the visual differences between four barrel Cleveland heads and two barrel Cleveland heads for the 351. To that effect, here is a quick determination. First off, if it has an aftermarket aluminum manifold on [...]
Where we left off was the calculations of engine displacement and combustion chamber volume along with the compression ratios of an engine. Today we shall look into the efficiency of a V8. First off we must set some basic parameters. First we know that an engine creates heat through friction and combustion- a.k.a. Fire – [...]
Here’s a bit of knowledge that every engine builder or car driver should know about their car/engine. A bit about displacement and compression ratios in conjunction with combustion chamber volume and firing order; all to ascertain the best possible engine build for total power output.
First off we will look into hoe to calulate engine displacement, [...]
There are a few technical variations on distributors and their usages in vehicular configurations depending on the application, but the most common types are mechanical (centrifugal) advance and vacuum advance, and a lot that utilize both systems for fuel mileage purposes. While there are points distributors and dual points set ups as well as mechanical [...]
