I thought about knife-edging the crank on this project and going for better windage and a lighter rotating assembly. My machinist is a wizard at balancing and could easily take care of the re-balance, but I'm really not planning doing any racing with this unit.
I figure I can use the extra kinetic energy from the larger mass to move the car at low speeds and from a standstill.
I saw an intake manifold like the one I built for this engine on Bombshell Betty, the '52 Buick with the straight eight. It's a Bonneville world record holder. Maybe I'm on the right track!!
