I'll be in talks with a guy today about plans on finishing it and throwing it in the RBD car.

When? Later this year. I'll update after wrenches have been turned.

Thanks. With the summer winding down I'm finding my thoughts drifting back to this. Still needs the stat gears shortened 1mm or two. Also needs an oil pan and two matched carbs.

I think for test firing, to keep it civil sounding, I'm going to throw something like this together. A log manifold and just some u-bends and magnaflows sort of pushed together. Maybe with a clamp or two.

What diameter should the log pipe be? I'm thinking same ID as an exhaust manifold. 2.5" 3" 4"?Anyone know how big they are inside?

I have a question. How many bearings are in this engine? I didn't see it stated, and was curious. Also, are you using checkballs or going full flow? I read you mentioned check *****, but was curious if you stuck with this idea, and if so, why? Thanks and can't wait to hear it fire up! This build solved my question about sideports in a 4 rotor!

I'm not feeling the color scheme anymore. I might just go all red and silver or all black and silver or some other boring combination.

Who would buy a rainbow colored 4 rotor anyway?

I would buy any color 4 rotor any day (if I could afford it!).
