Junto con el XP-897GT y el XP-895, el Corvette de 4 rotores fue el tercer prototipo con motor central que se desarrolló en el departamento de investigación y desarrollo entre 1972 y 1973.
Al igual que en el XP-895, el concepto de 4 rotores también estaba íntimamente asociado con el XP-882, que podía verse a simple vista, ya que el 4-rotor y el XP-882 eran notablemente similares.
De acuerdo con SuperChevy.com , Arkus-Duntov nunca fue un fanático de convertir el Corvette en un automóvil impulsado por Wankel. Estaba "familiarizado con el motor Wankel desde 1955 y sabía que el diseño básico era ineficiente debido a la relación superficie-volumen en la cámara de combustión". Pero Cole no se inmutaría: si se produjera un Corvette con motor central, tendría un motor rotativo.
Por lo tanto, para ver el rendimiento, se tomó la decisión de tener dos motores Vega de 2 rotores juntos. Las dos unidades se colocaron a cada lado de un "eje que corría de regreso a los biseles en la salida de la transmisión. Cada motor estaba desfasado 90 grados para suavizar el rendimiento. Una correa dentada con ranuras y dientes corrió el encendido, alternador, y la bomba de combustible, mientras que una correa trapezoidal controlaba el aire acondicionado, la dirección asistida y la bomba de agua ". La capacidad total fue de 9.6 litros con una potencia conservada nominal de 350 caballos de fuerza.
El elegante diseño en forma de lágrima se produjo como resultado del deseo de Bill Mitchell de llevar al Corvette en una dirección diferente estilísticamente. El trabajo fue realizado por Hank Haga y Jerry Palmer. El primero sería relatan que "el problema de diseño fue armar un equipo que no tiene una cola de 40 pies de largo." Para hacer que las cosas funcionen, "hicieron varias superposiciones y lograron un equilibrio justo entre la nariz y la cola. Seguimos acortándola y así fue como evolucionó".

1970 Chevy Chevelle SS Malibu custom "Heavy Metal".
These photos didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped. It might be the camera, but several came out blurry. Granted I'm not a professional photog, and the car was lit up like Las Vegas, yada yada yada.
Anyhow, this car is a must see. It is owned by Richard and Jean Tapia, parents of a friend of mine. This car has won many awards across the country and is a regular attraction at the Houston Autorama. For some better pictures, check out these sites:

Ready and waiting for it's home.The engine color is the original GM blue for this car,maybe I can pass it off as a stock 350 with aluminum heads?It's not an exact copy of any build,but ended up "somewhat" similar to this one.
www.chevyhiperformance.com/tech/engines_drivetrain/comple...
Except for:my heads are not fully CNC-ported and have a smaller valve size.I have slightly less compression.I did not use shaft-mount rockers or the titanium retainers.I did not use the Rattler harmonic balancer.I used a solid flat-tappet cam instead of a hydraulic roller with slightly less duration @ .050" and alot less lift and overlap.The clearances are slightly different.I used a different oil pan,H-beam rods,and a different brand rotating assy.My intake is not CNC gasket-matched,and I used a different carb.Otherwise,,,it is about the closest magazine article build I could find to my street engine build.LOL

Callies Compstar 3.750" Stroke "Large Main Journal" 2.650" Small Block Chevy Crank with rod journal lightening holes to reduce weight and rounded counterweight edges to reduce windage.Removing the counterweights at each end of the crank{and the forging} should go along way to relieve flex at the main bearings,and crank twist.The large main journal has more crank overlap for a stronger crank:
www.popularhotrodding.com/tech/0710phr_crankshaft_tech/ph...
but it also thins the block web some,{along with 4-bolt versus 2-bolt main}so it's pick your poison using a OEM block{350 versus 400 blocks}the smaller journal would decrease friction but for the RPM range intended for this build I doubt that any of the advantages/disadvantages will make a noticable difference,I wanted the 400 block for the bore size,and budget,so the crank journal size choice was simply one that fit.SBC 383 build guide article from a 350 block:
www.carcraft.com/techarticles/ccrp_0808_383_stroker_small...
Rear main cap oil pump passage smoothed for oil flow.I blueprinted the bearing clearances to .003"mains,.002"rods by measuring,mixing and matching the upper and or lower bearing shells within the set.Two of the rods ended up just under .002" at .0018"and .0019" and one of the mains was .0028".All of the clearance variances were much less than .0005" out of the box,but by mixing and matching I got them all consistent with the exception of the two rods and one main.All of the parts and measuring tools were kept in the house for a constant measuring temp.and was much more comfortable for me to do the detail work{My wife rolls her eyes and shakes her head at me}but I actually do have a method to my madness.After I had everything measured,matched,and labeled I moved it all back to the garage for assembly.I went with the old rule of thumb for bearing clearance,.001"clearance for every inch of journal size to help keep as much oil control as possible.If this engine was planned to see extended high RPM use from the start, I would have used a .001" oversize bearing half in the rods to open the clearance up to .0025".

Material = 4340
Rod Pins = 2.100"
Bob Weight =1,743 g
Bob weight is the rotating weight of the piston,pin,locks,rings,and rods.
Note: Typical Chevy 350 bob-weights are in the 1,910-1,930 gram range,and a typical bob-weight for a 6" rod 383 SBC is around 1800 grams.

This is a link to a SBC 401cu.in. build from a .060"over "stroker" 350 block,4.060" bore,3.875" stroke,I thought it was interesting to see what the longer stroke did to the torque curve compared to other builds with about the same cubic inch.and was thinking about a longer stroke for my own build,but decided against it to keep the rod/stroke ratio a little higher and relieve some cylinder wall thrust.

General guidelines is that a R/S ratio of 1.55 or higher is needed to reduce side thrust of the piston and reduce friction,this becomes more critical above 5500 RPM.

Chevrolet Corvette
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Chevrolet Corvette, known colloquially as the Vette, is a sports car manufactured by Chevrolet. The car has been produced through seven generations.
The first model, a convertible, was designed by Harley Earl and introduced at the GM Motorama in 1953 as a concept show car. Myron Scott is credited for naming the car after the type of small, maneuverable warship called a corvette.
Originally built in Flint, Michigan and St. Louis, Missouri, the Corvette is currently manufactured in Bowling Green, Kentucky and is the official sports car of the Commonwealth of Kentucky."
(...)
- First generation-C1 (1953–1962)
- Second generation-C2 (1963–1967)
- Third generation-C3 (1968–1982)
- Fourth generation-C4 (1984–1996)
"The Chevrolet Corvette (C4) was a sports car that was produced by Chevrolet for the 1984 through 1996 model years.
The convertible returned In 1986, as did higher performing engines, exemplified by the 375 hp (280 kW) LT5 found in the ZR-1.
In early March 1990, the ZR-1 would set a new record for the highest 24 hour-5,000 mile land-speed by going over 175 mph (282 km/h).
Though prices rose even as sales declined, the fourth generation Corvette won its own loyal following as one of the United States' most desirable sports cars.
The last C4 was produced on June 20, 1996."
(...)
"In 1986, the second Corvette Indy Pace Car was released.
It was the first convertible Corvette since 1975.
A Center High Mounted Signal Light (CHMSL) – a third center brake light – was added in 1986 to comply with safety regulations. While the color of the pace car used in the race was yellow, all 1986 convertibles also had an Indy 500 emblem mounted on the console, making any color a "pace car edition". In 1987, the B2K twin-turbo option became available from the factory."
(...)
- Fifth generation-C5 (1997–2004)
- Sixth generation-C6 (2005–2013)
- Seventh generation-C7 (2014–present)
