Ben,
Good work!
You certainly picked up on many of the problems
associated with auto engine conversions. I particularly like the mixture block
for the Holly carb.
While I was searching for a pen I missed what you
said you used for a damper - did you say you used a fluid damper ?

Hi Jeff and all others. I am a newbie to the group but a
serious auto engine fanatic. I feel your pain on the cooling
issues with a "slow" plane. I can expand on that if you
or anyone else is interested.
Tailwinds.

I
guess some people must actually be flying
…
Personally,
I’m almost ready to fly again after another round of
modifications to oil cooling system. My slow, 105 mph
airplane is having difficulty keeping the oil temperature
below redline (210F) above 4000 rpm. Have added a
second oil cooler - now have one each side of engine,
similar-looking to dual evaporator cores (for water) in RVs.
Since I can’t cruise at 160 mph have decided that 2x
surface area is needed to make up for 1.6x airspeed.

Hey
gang!
I
came across a rare find this weekend.
Any
serious rotorhead will certainly appreciate this.
Bluelines
from 1973 of the General Motors Wankel Rotary
engine.
I
just put them up on eBay
