The new Rottler P-69 CNC 5 Axis Head Porting Machine is up and running. Currently we are finishing up the R&D for the exhaust side of a Cummins 5.9 12v. Flow numbers are looking impressive. Next we will be working on the intake side and 4 stages of pricing, including removing the cast intake to access the other side of the intake runner and a sheet metal intake.
For those of you following project “Sledgehammer”, our 1972 Dodge Charger project, you may have first seen this car at the 2007 AutoRama in Grand Rapids. At that time everything was primarily mocked up for the show, even the engine.
Since then the chassis has been NHRA Certified to 8.50. The exhaust system fabricated, the chassis painted, the body fitted for the last time and bolted into place; most of the interior tin work is completed.
The engine machining and assembly has been completed and waiting its turn for the engine dyno. It has been waiting since early fall.
Of course there always seems to be 4 customer engines in front of it that have to be done first. We are hoping that during the winter slow time we can fit it into the schedule. We will post stats, pictures and video when that happens.
