dick landy super charger build

[spencerfvee]

update i did a mock up of the super charger. on the alum case . i did not like the lower bracket on the intake manifold .that bolts to the alternator stand . to hold the intake manifold up right .i thought it put to much pressure on the lower bracket to hold the intake manifold up right .so i made a top support bracket. from the super charger intake manifold . to the alternator it worked great see pictures

I have a buddy that is running the larger of the two DL blowers on a thin wall 1679 in his buggy. The motor is old and tired, but still screams (a new 2387 long block is built and ready to go in it's place). He built his own air to water intercooler, uses Holley Fuel Injection, and MSD distributor with boost retard. Made 127 HP at the tires with the water tank filled with ice. With the ice, he had 72 degree intake temps at peak power and the air temp in the shop on the dyno that day was over 105 degrees! It gets street and highway driven and beat on at all the local off road parks. Have fun!!

Are you going to be able to run a decklid? I think your whale tail is actually pretty fitting for this car

update . i wanted to find out the deck was on the mahle pistons . so i mocked up the case .and i found out that the EMPI 8340 rods did not like the silverline rod bearings. the rod locked up when i tried to install the rod on the crank .well off to the shop .i found out that the mahle rod bearing worked . the guys at the shop have run into this be for . with the silverline rod bearings . so every thing worked out . i changed cams. i am now going to use a engle v 26 cam i love this cam. it has great bottom end power and good top end power .its a cam like a 110 cam. but does not have the lift of a 110 cam . so you use 1:4.1 rockers to get about the same lift as a 110 cam with 1:1 stock rockers .i like this cam because its easy on the valve train . spencerfvee

Throw out the Silverline rod bearings. They de-laminate very quickly and cause serious damage...at least that has been my experience. I use their main bearings, but not their rod bearings. As for the Mahle/Clevite rod bearings, pay close attention to your clearances (as you should with any bearing of any brand). I have run into some that were manufactured in I believe 04/2019 that were way too tight. Unfortunately bearing quality and consistency is hard to come by these days

I agree and I did the same. Very happy with their fit! Great job man!

update .i just picked up this fan housing . from a friend . it has the heater air ducks welded over .like a thing fan housing . i wanted a fan housing that takes the air flaps . to help cool the motor. spencerfvee

update .i just bought these O.E. brand heads . there about $225.00 each. i have used these heads be for . they will work just fine on my dick landy super charged motor build. i wont be go over 5,000 rpm. with these heads .. these heads have 39mm intake valves . by mm 35mm ex. valves in these heads . the most important thing you must do. if you by a set of these heads. is to change the intake valves to 40mm . the 39mm valves that come with the heads . are to small for the 40mm valve seat . why why oe brand installs these 39mm valves in there heads i just dont under stand there thinking. any how i cc the heads because i want 7.1 cr. after cc the head they came to 59ccs after doing the math my cr came to 692.9 cr rounded off that 7.1cr with 1600cc cyls i all so cc a stock vw head and it came out to 53cc . that would be about 7.5.1 cr .just what vw wanted . i think o.e. brand wanted the cr to be 7.1 .because of the cheap gas thats being sold now a days. maybe who knows lol. so if you want more cr you have to fly cut head and remove the step .in the head .i have some work to do on the heads be for i use them on my super charged motor i cant wait to spend that $1,400.00 that biden gave every one lol spencerfvee

update . i just got the heads done .they now have 40mm by 35mm valves . i port matched the intake manifolds to the intake ports on the heads . i did a mild port work on the heads. intake ports .so the heads would flow more air . the ex. ports i just cleaned them up and matched them to the header gaskets . then i lapped the valves . to make sure they were seating right on the valve seats . i installed single high rev springs with .chr. moly retainers .with harden keepers . every thing worked out spencerfvee

Hey just figured I'd let you know: I've used that exact brand of head, same valve sizes, and they were fine for me for 10k buggy miles. The only difference is I ran SS valves just because I had them. I don't see much posted here on them, but our local shop uses boatloads of them and they hold up. I figure they flow just a bit more than a stock head, nothing crazy.
