Well, heres a hint:
There is no wrist pin in my design.....  Any pics of this design? I know several of the snomobile engines were experimenting with assemblies which didn't use wrist pins, but that's been several years ago...

I would like to make some money on this eventually if it proves successful. Unfortunately, I do not have the money to build a prototype. I do have design drawings, but won't post them here for obvious reasons.

I just want the added TQ.
Good luck with the mods. Shooting for a specific number? Sure, one more HP and TQ than any other 3 liter minimum. :p I don't have a preset goal. I will have all mods I can have affordably for the time being. Once the car is paid off in another year, you'll see some serious shiznit...

The "ball and cup" style has been tried though if that's the area you're in...

No one even wants to look at your idea unless it is already proven and you have a working model....

I know a guy who sold an idea using custom molded plastic and Lego buidling blocks! There are places that can make models fairly cheap compared to making the real parts as a prototype. Laser cured epoxy is cool shiz!

He just used a local plastics shop to made a few pieces from a CAD drawing he had made. IIRC, it cost him a couple hundred bucks to have them mold the pieces which he hand finished and assembled. Country Plastics in Ames, Iowa IIRC was the name... There's another place right around the corner from where I live that does small prototyping jobs and such too... I'll have to stop in there as I was thinking of having some parts made for BNM anyway... of course I've been meaning to do that for about 10 months now... :rolleyes:
