    I did this because everyone said it wouldn't work. Plugged the injector holes with pipe plugs, milled a big hole in the top and made an adaptor plate for the 2 carbs, and put a plate over the front of the original air inlet. It looked sort of stupid, but it actually ran great.

    The motors a 67 Pontiac OHC from a firebird Sprint, 230 cubes, 10.5 forged pistons, lumpy cam, ported and polished head with swirl polished stainless valves and double valve springs. Home made intake and exhaust. Still needs to be finished and painted.

    I'm wild about this blower setup, especially as the guy who built it GAVE it to me, when he was given the news of the terminal illness that later claimed his life.

    I'll run it on my coupe as a tribute to the wonderful person he was.

    Correct, its a Wade RO34, which is 3400cc per revolution, giving b/w 5 and 7 lbs of boost.

    This is a very rare piece. The runners are the same as the Jimmy, but the plenum is unique to the stovebolt 6.

    A few years ago, a friend of mine tried to sell one of these manifolds for $25, and didn't get a call!!!

    He then set it up with 5 97's and ran it in his 50 fleetline at El Mirage and Bonneville, taking the XO/Production records home with him. He was number 17 in the points table in 1986, with this combo.

    Of course he won't sell it now, not even for $1K!!!

    I have a picture of it, but I dunno how to re-size it!!!

    Now if you ever need a kidney - I'll swap you!;)

    Stovebolt, do you have any info on the GMC inline pic, where the engine is mouinted horizontally in the frame? I've been wanting to do something like that since I saw the old Indy roadsters that were set up with engines almost flat mounted.

    Thanks for the info! It's got a bunch of JB weld on it, i'm going to clean it up this summer. It's the first old speed part i've ever gotten, i've never had anyone give me something valuable like that. It was originally slated for a 55 Chevy, but the guy traded that for about $1k-2k worth of fence work. Good fella, I owe him some computer work in return favor.
