Well here are the big pics

When I had 2x4s. It didnt last long. Ask me why.


Another pic of the 2x4s


Stripes look white under the shop lights


Just some misc pics






Tire blew out on I-95 doing 80 coming home from a car show in Santee. Ask me about it.

 

OK I'm asking! Do the tire and the two 4's have something in common?

 

Not remotely

The engine blew with only 7 miles on the odometer with that intake/carb setup. I was tuning it while driving the 1 mile strip between my buddys garage and the stop sign. TOO much gas washed the oil away from the rings and the engine locked up. At the time I built it with an original Bud Moore 347 stroker kit 12:1 pistons custom ground cam by Holman and Moody with their dizzy and custom exhaust baffles to help on the bottom end hp. Made somewhere around 450hp at 7000rpm. After it blew I rebuilt it 100% stock.

Here is some pics of other "cool" boss 302 intakes I have. 1- Original from Bud Moore specially designed for drag racing with 2 1400cfm autolite inline carbs.
2- NOS CrossBoss D0ZX-9425 base DOZX-9C483-A top plate with DOZX-9510-A 850cfm inline autolite carb. NOS with the original boxes and instructions.
3- Original 2x4 intake and matched 600cfm carbs. Stamped Shelby where most all others were stamped Cobra. A prototype for the few 69 shelbys that were scheduled to have Boss 302 engines I have been told.

 

Oh,
The tire blew out of nowhere running 80 on i-95 north. Real quick shimmy then nothing but steel belts slapping the fender. I love Haggerty insurance. Took care of everything with a $ZERO deductable. Tire store said it wasnt their fault and wouldnt even warranty the tire. It only had 700+ miles on them.

 

You have a gold mine in intakes! 80 MPH when it blew....I'd say your lucky thats all that happened, Could of been worse.

 

Yeah if I sold them. Any idea what a NOS cross boss goes for?

Id like to thank my superb driving skills for the save! Seriously though, it shimmied a little then bang then steel belts slapping the fender then I eased it over. Im just glad the whole tire didnt come apart.

 

Probably gonna have to research them to see what going price is. Last one i saw on Ebay was awhile back for about 3 grand.

 

Wiz,
not bragging but I value mine at 10. The bad thing is that if I got what I wanted for it where could I find another one and for what price?

The ones on ebay are usually used and Ive never seen a NOS one for sale with all the boxes gaskets and misc stuff.

What I really want to see run is the bud moore dual inline carb intake. Those are 2 1400cfm carbs!
