    Finished prototype Mustang disc brake spindles

    Through NDE, you can calculate material properties (young's modulus, poisson's ratio...ect) just by using UT, and you can test every part you send out and know exactly what properties each piece has, rather than assuming a constant quality through destructive testing randomly within a batch...

    Finished prototype Mustang disc brake spindles

    I'm sorry but hitting a bump is an instantaneous increase in the force on 1 point...there are no dynamics involved. You would use a load factor to bring the additional shock loads into consideration. Static analysis does take the acceleration into account...F=ma no? =] Sure, a...

    Finished prototype Mustang disc brake spindles

    What do you mean by this? All he needs to know are the basic forces applied on the loading points of the knuckle...from there calculating the stress/strain the part would experience, then make sure the cross section can withstand it...which is just simple statics. He doesn't need to do a modal...

    History channel Show Full throttle

    I watched the Z car episode. They put cams, exhaust, headers, 4 barrel holley, and a new intake. The best time out of both of the cars was a low 17.... :rolleyes:

    Would a 351c be a direct swap?

    I am in the process of putting a 351C in my 68 coupe. If you use the 4V heads then the 70 headers will work, but i opted for 2V heads and went with hooker's swap headers. If you end up going w/ the 4V heads i have a pair of 70 4V headers layin around.

    My Baers suck when wet!!>>>
