Dual Throttle Body Project

Engineering Exercise when really should have been doing something else...

Not suggesting anybody slap one of these bad-boys on their trucks, well... only if you wanna'

See I have this donor 5.8 & and a base model 73 Mach1 that's a home made barn find.

Eventually it'll need a manifold. I'm looking at options.

Might call it the Torque Hater Mk I

Many steps & many proto adaptors & grinding before it ever comes close to the engine.

Let you know.

With the common shaft problem solved, it's out there on the horizon.

I saw a quad Webber setup on a sbf once, was trick.

We all have an inner butcher inside of us. Sometimes, it best just to do it and when it's done and working properly, then announce to the world what you just did. Head tend to explode seeing something that cannot be done.

A 2 acre jungle in the midst of the rainy season w/side of bamboo to tend, 4 other vehicles that need REAL work, 75 year old home...

Yeah I got plenty of time.

It lends itself to a box on top that could be presurized.

Waiting for pull-a-part to have a p stroke turbo for snatching up with free cash my retired *** don't have.

Except for the bamboo, I got you beat. I got a 100 year old home with the original windows.

But it is nice to have something to do when you wake up.

Oh I figured I'd just throw some stringy meat out there to chew.

It's really hard to hate on it since it's not for a truck.

I'm trying to find some right sized planking to stand in for a couple aluminum plates.
