New Hemi intake... JACKPOT?

Tell me how I did....

Today I bought a new never mounted 3x2 Weiand WC3D for my 33 five window I'm building.... I have two stromberg 97's that I have been wanting to put in service... I'll have to chrome a 3rd.

Anyone know anything about this intake?

 

I know it looks better than stock....other than that - what's to know?

 

Looks like a Wee and

 

That's a rare one. Not too many made.

 

"Say WHY-and"...

 

I NEED that intake!!

 

Dammmm you that is cool......I need a 4x2 inline.

 

Look's great -propwash need's a plane

 

***uming...it's for a Chr....I saw one sell on an auction site for around 400 & the buyer put it up 4 sale here for 700....The main problem is 3 97s is only 450CFM, just a little under carbed for a 331 & a bit more under for a 354/392. Stromberg 48s or Holley ECGs would do better.

 

Holy cow 3k? Is it true there were only 75 made?

As far as 3 97's being undercarbed.... This engine came with and ran excellent with a factory cast intake and 2 barrel carb. Hot hemi rated the 2brl stock carb at 375 cfm? So why would a set of three 97's at 450 cfm run any worse?

 

Wow!!! Awesome piece!!! Jealous...

 

It is a stock (w/ adjustable rockers) 331 hemi with 6k original miles on it. The 97's are rebuilt and yes i'll keep the fuel psi down on em. The hemi is going in (just made the motor mounts) a 1933 ford 5 window coupe, with lasalle transmission and quick change rear end.

Sweet!

 

Word!!

 

Sounds PERFECT! I think you're going to need to post some more photos so we get a clear picture of what you're talking about!

 

the ****ER was full!!!

 

very nice intake and i see it's already got the coolant fittings between 1/3 2/4 necessary to run truck heads.

 

Yeah those ports wer already there. Question: on a stock 331 would you cap those or run some coolant lines to the water pump?

 

Killer score man. JOKER JASON>

 

If you have a later heads with water ports out the front, just run a thermostat housing cross-over and cap the ports. If it's an earlier 331 that would have a "wet" type manifold, run lines to a remote thermostat housing from both sides. B*** did this on his coupe with a 331 and a 4x2. Looks great and probably works equally well.

 

B***' 331

 

Awesome exactly the info I needed! Thanks scooter and (b***) Will post some pics, I am going to set the body on the frame and start building the firewall this weekend.

 

The intake manifold I'm running on my 331 did not have water provisions. The heads are 354 (similar to the later 331 heads with the larger valves and oval ports) and I ran the later water crossover/thermostat housing to get water from one side of the head to the other.

I think B***' setup is ideal for heads with no external water provisions. I wouldn't do it any different. Also notice the by-p*** tube between the water pump and the thermostat housing. Perfect...

 

Didn't say it would run worse! The typical formula put a 331 @ 525 CFM & most want to overcarb a Hemi. In reality a 351C-2V Ford should have a 550 but the 2 bl is rated @ only 350 & they run quite well.

 

Yeah this 33 coupe is gonna be more stree-friendly practical than my blown 383 32 (1600 cfm) coupe is, I am just fine with 450 cfm on this one!

Now that the engines in I can re-install the original k member and bolt one of my floors to it. Then the body'll go on Sunday for mock-up and firewall fabrication.

 

Your 51 to 53 hemi with the round small exhaust ports and small valves was Chrysler's low performance motor. The fire trucks and big trucks got 2 of the 375 cfm 2 barrel carbs. In 55 it all changed for the 331 hemi, everything went bigger and the 2 barrel carb was history, except for the truck and commercial uses. The hot 55 hemi had adjustable rockers, solid lifters and 2 - 4 barrel carbs.
If you chose to run progressive linkage, yes it will run worse !! a lot worse. With one 97 trying to run the fuel needs of that hemi it will need some huge jet change or you will burn it up. You might try running the first and last carbs and progressive to kick in the center carb. I would not try to run even a 283 SBC with one 97.

 

I have a set of later heads, adjustable rockers, dim pled valve covers and will run all 3 97's to supply fuel. I talked with a guy in Canada today who has the same motor, a wc3d intake and 3 rebuilt 97's and a 39 for ******, and he says its got more than enough power and the mixture is good. I guess I give it a try and see what happens. I have a feeling it will run, and run well. Motor has 8338 original miles on it.

 

So you are going to run all three full time = non progressive ? if so yes that will work also.

 

Surprised, Eddie?? I couldn't be more surprised if I woke up with my head sewed to the carpet.
