wheelhouse development
A piece of aluminum sheet, a hammer and some rivets have been used to close the bottom back to the front wheel and to improve external air flow

New High Flow Milodon
High flow Milodon to partner with the new Fluidyne. Machined and tapped heater ports so they can be nicely plugged. The plugs are Chromed Brass and all new mounting bolts are Stainless.

Tabby the guard cat...doing what she does best !!
When she was little she slept in the roadster, 'til she clawed up the seats, then it was under the car until one day she got stuck, now she just hangs around the yard, eats the flowers, and keeps the neighbors honest...

Ford_Raditor_Heat_Rejection_Chart- Street Rod Example
This chart compares the heat rejection rate (cooling capacity) of three different types of radiators tested on an old Ford Street Rod. Coolant flow rate is held constant at 7 gpm (typical flow at idle perhaps, not sure where its being measured ???). It graphs the heat rejection for each radiator versus air flow through the radiator core. It is comparing 3 diff rad designs/materials at different CFMs through the core. The more air flow you have for a given coolant flow rate (7 gpm in this example) , the higher the heat rejection, basically linear in this example. The author of this graph is most likely selling the high efficiency radiator showing the improvement over the other two designs. To sum it up, the radiator at the top of the chart appears to be the most efficient at a low coolant flow rate (7 gal/min) over all air flows tested. Ya see how important rad core/tank design is? I learned something here.

500+ HP Engine Water Jacket Coolant Flow Requirements
This chart shows the linear relationship between the heat rejection (load) of the coolant and the required (calculated) coolant flow in the engine water jacket. It is determined for 3 different temp gradients of the engine inlet and outlet coolant temp. This engine example is from a 500+ horsepower supercharged gas engine assumed to have heat rejection up to maximum power (8,000 btu/min). Why do we care? If you cant keep engine temps under control at speed under load, you may have: 1) insufficient water flow, 2) undersized radiator, or 3) insufficient air flow through the radiator that needs to be addressed. This engine will require coolant flow in the lower part of the curve in street applications (low heat rejection), but for racing/track use this engine will require coolant flow rates towards the top of each curve. For older V8's pre-emissions, the common design target is to keep the radiator Inlet @ 190 F and outlet @ 180F or an average core temp of 185F at steady state conditions or the upper curve shown. Modern engines may use a little higher 195F-185F or rad core avg temp of 190F.

429_and_460_water_pump_flow
I learned that Edelbrock makes the water pump for the Ford Racing 460 Crate engines. This is part number M-8501-C460 or Edelbrock # 8866. The flow values were provided by Edelbrock via their TECH HOT LINE, I graphed them as a visual aid.

Edelbrock/Ford SVO 429/460 Pump Flow Chart
Here is a chart I put together that compares the two different popluar pulley sizes available in the aftermarket for the 429/460 in fancy shmancy polished powder coated clear aluminum pulleys. The big pulley is not the way to go, you cant get enough flow to cool these high horsepower motors on the street.

Wow, will these ever flow compared to my current restrictive 1 7/8" stock baffles!!

Colour_on_at_last_Small_
First coat went on yesterday. The colour is from VZ Monaro & known as Turismo with additional Pearl. Now the stripes, clear and flow coat and it should be out of the painters next week.

Cobra_returns_to_Neils_Workshop_Small_
The body has been blocked, high filled then undercoated. 3 coats of duco were then applied followed by 2 coats of clear lacquer. The stripes were then applied and it was cut back before 3 flow coats applied. In 6 months time, the car has to be rubbed back and polished again.
