STARTING ON INTAKE

I built this intake just over a year ago, when I was building my engine.Had planned to clean it up and put it on when I got engine going, but was running so good it kind of got tucked away in the corner. I was throwing some old stuff out and behind everything was that intake laying in pieces so I bolted it all together put my old 2 barrel and air cleaner on it and it just looked cool, and kind of got my spirits up. I am finally going to start working on it again and see if it works or not. I guess really I dont care if it works or not but I feel I need to finish what I had started. I think that if it runs hopefully I can get it all set up to sell to someone maybe with a open front roadster with a 300 looking for something different. I have alot of grinding and cleaning and hopefully get it painted and bolted on so I can build a throttle linkage that will get her to run. I will keep updating pics as I go.hopefully I can stay motivated. keep you posted

Looks cool. To bad it would not fit in my FFR Roadster.

I don't think it would be to hard.

Or maybe this...



Add a nice looking zoomie type header would look real cool in an open front roadster.

Thanks guys it motivates me more to get this thing done. I actually intended on making a tri power set up also 6 1 barrels and dual 4 barrels. I have all the pieces programmed on the plazma and ready to go. thats why I built it in two pieces so you could change carb set ups with out having to unbolt everything. But for now I will get this finished first, thanks

I'm not typically a jealous man, but that did it

cool machines, used to be one of three maintenance guys at delta oilfield tank co. they had a table plas' my brother in law ran that could do 5 sheets at a time and a single sheet table laser. somewhere I have an inch wide (and a grill emblem sized) ford emblem made out of stainless, and yeah, you can easily read that it says "ford", my bro has a cut out of Garfield, but its all etched.

Nice! I had a pic of a hot rod with a 4v carb adapted to the stock plenum of an EFI intake...always wondered how it would run.
