Charley Hey Charley, Most of the people on this forum are Yanks. They wouldn't know a Holden from a Black Stump. Better tell them what a 186 motor is, and who Holden is. Maybe there's a similar GM engine that they'd be familiar with. I can't help, 'cause I live in Ford country. On a quiet day you can sit and listen to the Holdens rust.

    Ok, here is a 186. It is an inline 6 cylinder engine of 186 cubic inches, made by Holden Australia in 1968. Holden, owned by GM, has been making cars in Australia since Moses parted the red sea. They now make the Pontiac GTO for america, or did. The 186 is 29 inches long, and 24 inches tall from drain plug to the top of the valve cover, it weighs???? peak torque is 181 ft/lbs at 1600 RPM and 126 Hp at 4200. old man emu wrote: > > rameses32 wrote: > > .

    Charles: I like your initiative regarding a locally available engine. Looks like ithe Holden most closely resembles an 6 cyl Chevy inline engine as found on the earlier Chevy NOVA over here. a quick goggle on the Holden engine shows this: http://www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au/holden_HR_technical_specifications.htm a.. 3.05 "186" X2 Engine: a.. Capacity: 3048cc 186 cubic inches (3.048 litres) b.. Type: Conventional, watercooled four stroke, reciprocating piston type with 6 cylinders c.. Configuration: Front mounted, longitudinal, inline d.. Head: Pushrod and rocker actuated ohv with two valves per cylinder e.. Fuel System: Twin carburettor f.. Bore and Stroke: 3.625 x 3.00 inches (92.1 x 76.2mm) g.. Power: 145bhp (108kw) at 4600rpm h.. Torque: 184lb-ft (249Nm) at 2200rpm i.. Compression Ratio: 9.2:1 http://www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au/holden_red_motor.htm and: http://www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au/holden_6_cylinder_engine_timeline_2.htm and http://www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au/holden_red_motor_engine_codes.htm How stout is the crank and what do the thrust bearings look like in that Holden engine? In recent years the Corvair conversion went through some teething issues due to that detail. Several close calls and several broken cranks because they simply were not designed to take a prop yanking around on the crank with its relatively narrow atomotive application bearings. http://fly.hiwaay.net/~langford/corvair/flexplate/problem.html and: http://www.flycorvair.com/crankissues.html problems seem to be solved with the addition of a 5th bearing http://www.fly5thbearing.com/5thbearing.html Michael

    Subject: 80th anniversary today?
    I could be wrong, but according to Chet Peek's book, May 20, 1929 was when Bernard Pietenpol first flew his new airplane, the Air Camper. Did anyone fly their Piet today? I wanted to, but we had winds too high for me!
