8x2 intake for big block chevy?

^^another weber intake. Webers were used by alot of USRRC and Can-Am teams in '66-'67, but then there werent many BB cars running Can-Am in those years either...

 

H&M made one for the FE 427 that can be converted from running Webers too mechanical fuel injection stacks....
Look up the Buddy Bar intake thread I started a while back...

 

Blue Thunder still makes them for the FE engines - here's an EFI setup for an FE....

 

Jim Hall's Chaparrals used big block engines in late 1966 and 1967. Initially with 58 mm Rochester "Weber copies" and later with a Kinsler designed fuel injection system. Chaparral was GMs "unofficial" racing arm, and built their own engines (or GM built them, depending on who you believe). Hall was partners with a guy named Hap Sharp...although that may have nothing to do with the manifold. Many lesser funded Can-Am teams still ran carbs on into 1969.

 

Is that Kinser setup (red stacks) yours? I'm 95% sure that was mine, if it is let me know and i'll tell you the back story (i still have the orginal motor it came off of).

 

This one as I said was a spare for Mickey Thompson and was a mechanical fuel injection unit.

 

And where do the nozzles go?

 

Here you go George!!
This is cool!!... It's a H&M Weber intake with Fuel injection adaptors... Looks like they're easy to make...

bump....

 

Maybe it's just me but there's a whole lot of bolt holes missing for it to be Big Block Chevy. There's 16 bolts that mount the manifold to the heads on a BBC, on these I see about half that.

 

They bolt in from inside of the hollow casting...

 

Sorry but from the photos provided wouldn't they end up in the throat for the carb/injector and if so i just didn't see any holes there.

 

That I don't know.... We would have to find out from the guys that own those...

 

When you bolt the top portion on with the ****erflies on you will see where the nozzles go.

 

We were talking about the main intake itself.... Do half of the bolts mount on the inside of your BBC intake???

 

I sure would like to see the bottom of this BBC intake.... We need more pictures...

...... As for the fuel injection adaptors... I could probably make a working prototype using T6 aluminum... Yes, billet!...

 

That is a real cool peace!!!!!!

 

Yeah, it is!!!...

 

Christ! who cares what it is? If it's cheap, send me a PM and I'll buy it!

 

Ok, I'm game, lets see them.

 

I had some of those injectors that are made to bolt to a Weber manifold. THJ or something like that. Have idle circuits and all. I believe Hilborn also made throttle bodies to bolt to the Weber mount. Not rare at all.

 

The point isnt whether there are throttle bodies that will bolt to a weber or just about any other carb bolt-pattern you name. There are. The point is, as you have stated in your post, this is a weber intake. Which it is.

 

Telcalamit-Jackson, Rich? They did a lot of those Weber manifold conversions for small-block Fords, I believe.

 

Nope, no holes in there... Lots of sealant and a short prayer, I think.

 

Yikes! That's scarey....
I'd be worrying about vacuum leaks....

 

Injector pockets go in the throttle body barrels and run on the inside for better fuel distribution:

TWM throttle bodies - these are the ones used by both Roush and Inglese formerly out of Goleta CA but now in Johnson City TN having been acquired by Borla.

Weasel, aren't those slide throttles on your Weslake heads (under the FI adaptors)? Damn...I gotta clean the drool out of my keyboard every time you post a picture of that thing.

I hope those heads worked better than the ones on Surtees big-block...
