Hot Rod Magazine 1984 Project Car-Junk Yard Dog.avi
The Real Deal: Back in 1984, Marlan Davis, Tech Editor for Hot Rod magazine, wanted to do a feature on building up an inexpensive Street/Strip warrior utilizing a 1969 Cutlass S as the foundation for an A-body and equipping it with a basic Big Block engine for power.
They obtained a one-owner Rocket 350 two barrel equipped Cutlass S (Power Disc Brake and Power Steering, air-conditioning equipped) they found locally in California, and removed the small block as well as the Oldsmobile specific 12 bolt rear differential, along with the air-conditioning system.
In the September 1984 issue, they covered the construction of a 1968 F-2 high nickel content Rocket 455 big block, equipped with the high performing "C" casting cylinder heads, and layed in a "N" nodular iron crankshaft. They installed a Crane camshaft with a tremendous duration, at 314 degrees gross duration. This cam allowed a fairly high compression, yet enough overlap to make it run on the poor gas of the eighties without detination.
The car itself was modified to accept the fresh engine, as well as a feshly rebuilt Chevelle 12 Bolt rear end sporting a 4:10 ratio gearset. The October issue detailed the remaining modifications, and the basic all white paint job. Then it was off to the strip for testing/timing. This project car was nicknamed "The Junkyard Dog"-attributing to the fact that you could build a 12 second street/strip car for cheap, using salvage yard cores and desirable parts (available readily back in 1984-good luck NOW)
Marlan Davis kept the car for a few years himself, further making modifications that included Dick Gouldstrand and HO Racing suspension, to go canyon racing against the unsuspecting Porsches, while in the hills of Southern California.
When I purchased the car, it was fairly well equipped, now sporting Hooker Competition Headers, MSD Ignition system, Moroso Oil Accumulator, a shift kit-equipped TH700R4 with a Corvette Torque Converter, as well as a Black with SS stripe paint job, a real W-25 option 1969 Hurst Olds 3 piece Rear Wing and updated interior.
I replaced the cracked Edelbrock Performer Intake Manifold with a new clear powder-coated Edelbrock "Torker" Manifold, replaced the cracked "C" Heads with freshly rebuilt ones, replaced the ill-fated (TV Cable was missing) Transmission with a pro-built TH-400 coupled to a new 3400 RPM stall Converter, installed a new Driveshaft to tie the TH-400 to the 12 Bolt rear, and completely rebuilt the brakes, electrical system (only one external light functioned) and Trick-Kit modified the big Holley 4160 Carburetor.
This thing launched Hard!

wFoil 18 Albatross ZERO Prototype - The Flying Boat
The whole story was built on retro content, precisely at hydro-airplane from First World War and completed with modern details.
Today wouldn't be any wFoil18 Albatross without Tomaž Zore idea. He was thinking a little bit different and leave out the established trends of hydrofoil craft and developed a new concept of the installation and shape of hydro foils. wFoil concept is two times "V" dihedral shaped hydro foils setting which allows swept hydro foil design. Because of layout foils Tomaž Zore called concept wFoil concept on which is based the prototype wFoil18 Albatross. wFoil system is surface piercing system.
This is the first and the only such setting of hydro foils in the world. wFoil concept upgrades the capabilities of known hydro-foil vessels: vessels under sail or motor, which will use wFoil concept, require a lower speed to separate the hull of the vessel from the water surface. They will reach higher top speed - it's aim is to exceed the magical 60 knots - and be more agile and stable than any previously known hydro foil boat. In addition, it will be easy to maneuvering; ride will be safe and fast even on rough sea.
Men and women from wFoil Group - all working in their spare time and on a voluntary basis -- have many ideas and plans for the near future. One of them is to achieve the world record in speed sailing (WSSR) and the other is ZERO12. The ZERO12 is looking for 12 visionaries, mentors and partners who have unique possibility to invest in start of production and for return they will get one of the twelve upgraded prototypes wFoil 18 Albatross ZERO. In that way they will become the ambassadors of Albatross and wFoil boats. This would be unique marketing and privilege for the owners of the exclusive Albatross ZERO, because we will make only 12 boutique boats from series ZERO for the whole world.
wFoil Group wants to collect funds and experiences of investors- they will have possibility to active participate in design and manufacturing process of their Albatross ZERO. With collected funds they could start the production of 20 wFoil18 Albatross boats per year and continue with steady investing in researches so that they could develop new models of wFoil boats. wFoil 10 is already prepared.
wFoil concept gives us unbelievable potential, because we can use them in making of the civil, sport and rescue boats of all kinds and sizes. We can use that technical even with the military boats. Thanks to the technical design and modular structure the project wFoil has every chance to develop in the area of developing sailing boats, area of developing motor boats on fuel or electricity and aeronautical field or in area of wFoil plane and wFoil boat hybrid.
The wFoil 18 Albatross ZERO will be made from best materials from aeronautics, F1 race cars and other high tech fields and processed by hand to ensure, in every aspect, top quality of the final product. Lifelong experiences of engineers and craftsmen will be built into the wFoil 18 Albatross ZERO.
We improved the technologies with the help of which the Albatross ZERO will be made. We made extensive testing program and because of that we change many technical details regarding prototype wFoil 18 Albatross.
Subcontractors with the reputations on high tech fields are chosen.
wFoil 18 Albatross ZERO will be the first motor hydro foil recreational boat available on global market, but there will only be 12 boutique Albatross ZERO made.
