Let's see your tunnel rams!

I've always run 500 Carters or Edelbrocks over the years because I found them easy to work on and to set up for the street.....mine is one of those screamers...7200 rpm. If your mainly on the track....you'll most likely be putting some gearing behind the motor ...ie 4:11 to 4:56's depending on the rearend......so you should be fine with those size holleys.....sounds like you'll have some support from your Dad.

Look forward to seeing pictures some time of the 27.

Best of luck with build.

 

Not sure if this will help, But here you go.................

Edelbrock Street Tunnel Ram on my BBC with a pair of Thunder Series Edelbrock carbs. And a scoop from some old Ford. Smaller plenum is supposed to be better for responsiveness. No street time on it yet but have had some fun in the driveway lightin' 'em up.

 

Always love tunnel rams. Here is my BBC ram. it will be on a Gasser projects some day.

This is on a 1964 T-Bird 390 Ford FE.

 

This car is owned by a local engine builder here in ohio and it sounds like war leaving at 10k let me tell you amamzing lil engine.

 

usmc50lx<SCRIPT type=text/javascript> vbmenu_register("postmenu_5796993", true); </SCRIPT> - I'm interested in your setup. Your cam, is that a Comp, Crane or ?
Flat tappet, Hydraulic, Solid or Roller?, Transmission and Rear Axle ratio? I have a similar setup on my 454, but heavier car and a 4 speed. I've been thinking about upgrading my cam to a flat tappet hydraulic with duration numbers close to your's, but wondering how much low end I would lose. How's it run around town? It sounds like it, goes like Hell at the upper end!

Looks like a rare Hammer Port 440

Very cool, what is that Big Bad Mopar in?

 

Another Mopar! Six Pack is not a tunnel ram, but it is right up there in the cool factor, and power production area!

Small block mopars fit in many tight places I have found, first one I have seen in a "pop" (anglia in this side of the pond). Nice work!

 

Hey moon, you gonna sell the Hilborn top with the studs coming up throught it?

If you R, let me know,
