Does anyone have a ruined 20b thick center iron that they would be willing to donate for science, or know someone that has one? I'm not looking for a good or even functional one. This is not going to be used to build an engine, however, I do need the intake ports to be stock / untouched.

Thanks guys!

 

donate means free. are you asking for a free center iron? ..working or not?

 

Doesn't have to be free, but a cracked / severely gouged center iron doesn't hold much value other than scrap price.

I'm not willing to pay an unreasonable amount for an unusable iron. I would however be willing to return it when I'm done if someone just wants to loan me a ruined iron.

 

You might drum up some more interest if you offered a bit more in the way of details than just "for science."

 

Weird Science?

 

Anyone check the price on these lately??

Mazdacomp I think has 5 Brand New ones left..

$3900.00 NOW.....

 

calculon,
I'm putting it into CAD for a project... I can't say too much about it till I can get it into CAD and arrange all my contacts for the said project. Once I know all that, then trust me... I'll make sure everyone knows. I can say that there will be 2 models. One that's the stock 20b iron, and another that's... modified.

Japan2LA,
I'm for sure not going to pay $3900... I could buy a whole 20b for less than that. lol

The point is to do this as cheep as possible since my only objective is the CAD model currently. Hince why a damaged / unusable iron is preferred.

 

There is already an aftermarket steel and aluminum 2 piece model in the works.. Infact they already have a production part that is being tested now...

 

That's nice, but not what I'm working on...
Thanks for the info though I've always wished someone would make an aluminum variant.

 

There isn't much you are going to be able to pull off that the top brass hasn't already done.

More power to you but give a call to some of the bigger guys and explain your ideas/goals - I would not worry about them stealing your ideas.

I hung up with Carlos Lopez yesterday after talking about my ideas and projects.. I was blown away when he would say things like "oh, yeah i remember that. we tried that in '99" ..or something along those lines. So dont be a `secret squirrel` and share the idea(s).

 

I think we talked this summer. I have a thick iron but it has been ported and cracked. PM me.
