Air cooled SBC?

[Cob]

I am hoping most of you read the stuff in the link about Bruce Crowers 6 cycle engine.

I Love Rats solely because of the innovative way they put things together.

I could use some insight here if this hobby is focused on visuals or mechanical innovation.

I know that RVS FLO will never ever win any awards and no major magazine will do an article on the vehicle. Its so far outside the box that it doesn't fit in any catagory. Internal air cooling pushes this window even further.

I also know that I have been attending car shows for at least 40 years and I have never seen a vehicle that could even come close to RVS FLO in terms of crowd interest.

I come at this from a different place than most rodders. I have done my leading edge technology in variable valve timing in the 3 cylinder Corvair. So leading edge isn't of much interest and know I am kinda focused on trailing edge technology that never got its chance in the limelight.

Maybe I should just call the stuff that I do "technological entertainment" ?

Call it whatever you want. If it feels good, do it! If you do it right, people will notice, recognize your abilities and it may lead to other great opportunities.

You never know, most great discoveries occured by people trying to invent something completely different ie. penecillin, viagra, the list goes on. You may come up with something completely unintentionally that revolutionizes the industry.

I commend your efforts and support your insanity 100%!

This is what the exhaust sounds like now. You have to bump the volume just a bit to really appreciate the sound and it does sound better on e85 than gasoline.

One of my reservations about attempting internal cooling is the exhaust might not sound as cool. Never met a single person that didn't like the sound of the exhaust as it is
