My Road Trip Motor Progress

Frenchy,
Wasn't feeling too well yesterday after I left your place and decided I'd better return home. I ended up in bed with the Flu all day today. Sorry I missed you guys later Sat night. I stayed up half the night on Friday getting the chop running and paid for it the rest of the weekend.

The Salzburg Combustion Chamber Motor Lives! I posted the short video I shot here for those following this thread too. Will have more information later as well.

Hey Rick. I watched the vid and the motor sounds great! Good work dude ;)
Car looks very cool, too!
Regards, Matt

Thanks Matt. I guess those Salzburg head guys learned a lot of things that worked over 30+ years back! I will be playing with the tune more but for now....it really runs nice! Very smooth powerband right where I was wanting it. I guess all the reading I did on cam timing and head design wasn't so far off. I studied a lot of V8 head designs and ran with the idea.

Here is a little teaser until I can make a better video. This was done with my cell phone and me trying to hold it against the steering wheel while I ran through the gears. Just for those watching, I have a close third but a stock .89 4th with a 3.88 r&p. Going into 4th gear you can hear the motor rpms pull down a little. I will make a better video this weekend and post it. For now, it let's you hear this open chamber head (Salzburg style) and how nice it sounds. Relatively small cam with 1.45 rockers (FK65).
