Hey Guys - Here I go again with more question for you  Roll Eyes Smiley

I am planning a full on Old Skool 1679cc (1700) IDA'd motor for my new project - And before everyone says it I know I can build a much bigger/better engine "These Days" But I think that a well built and highly "Blue Printed" mouse motor should be capable of High 13's maybe more Smiley Lets face it ALOT of these 1679's were built "back in the day" and they ran some pretty good times including a 14.1 by Aronson  Smiley

I already have:

- Case
- 48 Weber IDA's (37 venturis)
- Berg 3/8 Cromoloy push rods
- Tall IDA manifolds
- Scat mini D port Heads 40x37.5 with dual valve springs
- 1 5/8 Merged Header


I have also been reading about "mank" old 67 which he just sold with a 1679cc motor in it which was Dyno'd at 130bhp which is AWSOME - so I was thinking with a little bit more "blue Printing" you could up this alittle  Wink Smiley

Here is the Specs:

1679cc Engine Specification

AS41 New crankcase
88mm Thick Wall Mahle Pistons and Cylinders
69mm counterweighted crankshaft
200mm, 12lb, 8 doweled flywheel
Engle FK8 camshaft
JMR 044 cylinder heads (40mmx35.5mm), polished and ported
Autocraft 1.4:1 rockers
Berg chromoloy pushrods
Dual 48 IDA carbs on tall manifolds
Berg 26 mm oil pump
Scat deep sump
Berg 440e Equaliser crank pulley
Kennedy 1700lb pressure plate
15/8” Phoenix merged header
2 ¼” muffler (A1)
HP1 Fram external oil filter
009 Distributor

So come guys - if you could build your "ULTIMATE" Old Skool 1700 IDA'd motor what would the Specs be  Huh Huh Huh Smiley Smiley Smiley

I think you need to swap the cam for an engle 140 and drop the a-1 for dual qp's

Old School (Oh how I hate how that term is used today!) 1700? Gotta see an Engle 110 in there somewhere...and an 010...massaged stock rods...early Berg linkage (the really ugly one)...SINGLE quiet-pack...Santana power pulley...Fram HP1...SHORT IDA manifolds...stock rockers with the clips wired together...stock valve covers...NO EMPI PARTS... etc, etc...

During 2000, I bought a motor for the ida's at the pomona swap meet.  Story was it came from one of the Volkschancellors cars in the early 80's.  yeah, maybe.  It was a 1679 with non counterweighted crank and 11/1 compression ratio.  Engle 120 cam, ported stock valve heads and a cheap header.  Motor had the lightest flywheel I'd seen, a 10 pounder.  Case became part of my 2110, and heads were reworked for a 1776 in the future.  Heads were cut to 30cc's.  Sold the Skat Traks to Dave Conklin for too cheap.  I put it together for a while, but never ran it.

I would go for the real 1700cc setup... 74mm crank and 85.5 cyls = 1699cc
No clearancing or cutting the case for bigger cyls... Cool

The linkage you see there ( one of a kind ) is now in my car. Can you believe that motor was complete w/ EMPI four bolt flange exhaust, was setting in a container for
about 37+ years ?

I LOVE THAT LINKAGE Grin Grin Grin but the manifolds are abit tall and the exhaust ports look a tad small  Wink Smiley

 That's true, I cant think of anybody in the early 70's running Mag's on the streets however the only person comes to mind was
Ray Mederno "Peps DKP III" older brother was one of the first guy I knew who did on the late 70's early 80's in his Bad ass low 12 second  street car..

 This is one of the reason I run one as today...

that second motor, with Art's linkage....are those manifolds feeding single port heads?  Shocked
I have an old book from the late 70's...from Bentley Publishing...shows pic of a road racing Super Beetle motor...dual 48IDAs on short manifolds (mixture screws on inside), Speedwell linkage, power Santana, 010, o.e. 36hp fan housing. Another shot of a VW motor shows 48IDAs feeding a single-port motor. VERY WEIRD...



Jim,
They are early EMPI dual port part manifolds. "talk about a straight shot"...take a note in how close the carb's are to the shroud. of course have the High C/R doesn't help
 or  does it.. Wink

 I take it that the single port to a dual carb set-up was developed (custom made) before the dual port was released to the public?

VW Dual Bypass Case
69 mm CW Crank
thick wall 88's
Engle w-120 cam
Engle or German Lifters
Engle Dual Springs
40x35 Big Valve Heads (Mild Oval Port unwelded) compression ratio about 9 to 1
48 IDA's on short Manifolds and Berg Linkage
010 Dist.
1 1/2 Qt deep sump
case tapped for full flow
Fram HP-1 Oil Filter & Mount attched to the Traction bar with a U Clamp
Berg Blue Printed oil Pump
12 lb flywheel
1700 lb Kennedy Press plate
stock size Santana Pulley
12 Volt Blue Coil (German Tan Top)
stock rockers with Berg H.D.Stafts
swivel Feet adjusters

Hey guys I have been haveing a few more thoughts about "1700cc" motors - I want to get as much RPM as posible  Wink Smiley

I have seen a couple of cool ideas used on "Blueprinted" porsche engine in the past so I thought I'd see what you guys  Smiley

1 - So called "Knife-edging" of the crank lobe for a more aerodynamic effiency  Huh

and

2 - Smoothing of the inside of the crank case for both better air AND oil flow  Huh

I will admit that both of thes things are normally done to VERY VERY HIGH SPEC motors but I want to get the most I can from this little "Mouse motor" My aim is to run 13's  Shocked Wink Smiley

So let me know what you think guys  Smiley

DPR offers knife edge for their cranks. I think Scat may too. I am not really sure the gains would be worth it.

I`m not saying it wont help with knifeedge crank, but I would rather put my time into the heads if your goal is high rpm.
I`m think you can make descent powernumbers even with the stock crank and rods.Take a look at the pictures of the heads that Ugly Duckling is working on at the moment(in another tread here on the forum)I think thats the way to go if you want to make big numbers in a small displacment(maybe to radical ??)
Anyway, this looks like a cool project, looking forward to following the progress.

of course the main RPM will be produced best good heads I just want to really "Blueprint" this little engine and give it every advantage I can Wink Smiley
