![]() Björn Flodén and his wife built one of the first BD-4s back in the 70s. When they moved to Colorado he wanted more power and installed a Ford V-8. He never got it in the air, though, as he passed away before completion. His daughter wants to sell his project now. While the BD-4 builders help out with information about the airframe, we know little about this engine. Who could provide some background information about this monster? Has it been used by others? This is a page describing the project: http://www.ritaleydon.com/BD4/bd4.html and here the engine description from it: 1987 Ford V-8 5 liter high performance (302), serial number, GC5K335CA 1. Engine purchased with 1500 miles 2. Zero hours since blueprinted, balanced, and rebuilt 3. Special cam grind by Camshaft Merchandizer, Detroit Mich. 4. New aluminum Motorsport heads. Chambers at 60cc. CR at 10.36 5. Forty page calculations include: ?a. Engine mount rod calculations ?b. Design load Criteria per A23.3.01 ?c. Side load calculations per A23.9 Propeller: Prince Aircraft Co., Whitehouse. Ohio, four blade composite. 78"dia. X 59" pitch - Thanks! Holger |
