Made a few more pieces.

Made the rear cover, front cover, and the gear case for the blower.

Did you make that with JUST your Mill and Lathe? if other machines what?

would you sell or give your CAD files?  Now I want to make one............ hehehheee (probably dont have the time though).

Thank you, so very, very much for sharing this project,

Thanks Poppa for the kind words.

I have a Bridgeport, Bench top CNC mill that I built, and a manual lathe.

I do plan to sell the plans to build this thing. I have a mountian of work into the project as a whole so I can't give them away.

I had my pulley stock show up in the mail yesterday so there went my day off. The new day off is tomorrow.

I made this little fixture to hold the pulley on center. The tail section is exactly 3/4 so it can be chucked in a collet. The bore is snug as a bug. I put a 4-40 screw in the side to hold the stock from spinning. Not sure if i even needed it. I had a real wrestling match going when I tried to get the finished gear out.




After the slug of pulley was in the holder, the stock was drilled and reamed. Then the inside was bored out to diameter. Then the entire fixture was taken over to the rotary table for drilling. Then the piece was removed and deburred. Easy enough. The most important thing i think would be to hit the center of the pulley OD. I would think the belt will have a hard time staying on in the pulleys were wobbling. 



Looks mean as he!!

Can you make a V16? That would be superly powerful for a kit car of some kind..

I could. I have the block and crankshaft drawn already. It would be easy to finish the drawings.
