hey everybody.....
seems a like a lot of work but ......im in a cad program and also a metal sculpture and casting program at my school here in taos nm.whats more beautiful than a volkswagen mechanical diesel?.. .
what ive been working out t with my professors which involves doing a cad model of an engine block , using our 3d printer in conjunction with sand casting and some of the machining students to make a block just for the learning process of it. while we were at it were were also gonna look at the zany idea of a split flat8 1.6 td engine. ala air cooled style. even if it is too far fewtched idea still might be fun to see what everyone has to say about it..
so if anyone has any scrap 1.6td or even 1.6 na blocks let me know and maybe i can use them for the measuring?? i have two 1.5's but considering how hard it is to find extra parts for them plus they run good still i don't want to sac them just yet in the name of a project that might go south...
also in the works of pulling my fox wagen engine and trans to hopefully some day get that a diesel in there too.
im in northern new mexico and can get to southern colorado relatively easy..
or if anyone wants to text 215-350-7209
thanks
