Thread: 302 cyl head print (needed!)

Tweet

Yes, i def like the idea of welding on the inside (head side), then machining it down. Im not sure if i want to write a program to machine the welds down, or just put it in a vise, and use the bridgeport?

Yes, wood will be used to double check everything. plug clearence is a must, but shouldnt be a problem.

And im pretty sure i dont need to go all the way to tampa to cut this thing out. ha i live in michigan. allitle far? I dont need a lazer. a simple 3 axis machine should work dandy.

Ha idk about sanity... i'm pretty much doing this project on my own. I'm just using their tools ha. i have never done anything this big before. however im switching on and off with this and rebuilding a c4 trans that just blew out in my truck.

I'l try to finish up some tools to flare the pipe tonight, and u guys can tell me your thoughts on that.

You can rebuild that C4 in your spare time, they are about as simple as any to do - but a word to the wise, make sure you use HiPo parts to extend its life

So Henderlong, are you in school now in Michigan or do you just have access to a machine shop? Just curious...

I have no clue what c4 rebuild kit i should get. I'v never done a trans before.

Ya im a seinor in hs. I took independent study with my english teacher (only teacher available) and i just pick my project, design it, build it, and write about what i do each day.
I also had to write a ten page paper on manifolds vs. headers if you wanna look that over too... it was a real pain, and the teacher gave me a d+ on it, but a chance to rewrite it. So that is a big grade, so im adding stuff in as i go.

So how do you have access to a 3 axis CNC machine?? Your High School has that type of equipment??

We have a small cnc router (wood), a bridgeport (havnt used yet), a small leathe, jigsaw, bandsaw, mig welder, and other basic tools.
But i duel enroll in a tech center, so i spend three hours at hs (ap calc, american lit, and indepent study), then i go over to the tech center for another 2.5 hours or so. - which we have a small machine shop, multiple welders, plazma cutter, torches, and other cool tools including car lifts.
