im looking to make (have someone make for me) a one off intake. Anyone in this line of work? Basically what i want to do is run motorcycle carbs on an ohv engine.
I've got that book! I was going to scan that same article when I got home, but you beat me to it. We're going to build a 3-1 manifold for our HA/GR slant six using that technology.
Do the log type, u-fab intakes actually run worth a darn? .....as compared to a store-bought cast intake?
Either a 327 or an olds 403. not sure yet. I guess it depends on which engine i can get a tranny for.
I've built a few over the years. I use an engine for a fixture though, so it would have to be for something that was redily(sp) available if you don't want to ship me the mill. drop me a PM.
I built one by welding carb adapters on top of a blower intake after putting a plate on it. See if you can find adapters or spacers and you eliminate all the precise work.
I built this one for an Olds 455, but buggered it up before completing it (it warped too badly.) No great loss other than time, as I'd already decided to make several major changes to the design even before the warpage got that bad. The new version is in the works, but I'm going slower to make sure I don't screw it up again. Doc.
