Projects Flat FED build

Carl, I only use my suit once or twice a year.

As expensive as it is, SOMEONE should get some use out of it the rest of the year!

 

Yea that does suck doesn't it Buddy, how long does the tag last for the suit??

 

I aways wanted to play with ethonal but we only have two places to buy it here and niether is nearby.

Carl, I'm not sure. I'll check it out when I get home Thursday.

 

Hi Guys I believe a 15 or a 20 Spec suit has to be recertified every 5 years Tim Jones

 

It's every 5 years for sfi spec 3.2A/10, 3.2A/15, 3.2A/20 suits.

 

Gotta few years left then-I ordered it new summer of 2011.

 

Epic Would have been cool to have my Sidewinder over there

this is what happened Friday night under the lights.....



Made a mental note to myself... From now on try on the parts before going to the track to make sure everything fits... see third carb fuel line...

Got back home and got this in the mail.....Thanks Dave Mc Cain!!


Humm looks like without much trouble I just might have a two port....





The leftover aluminum will be melted down for future flathead parts !!!

 

Not seeing the problem Carl, guess my old eyes are missing the details.

 

Fuel line interference with the head gooseneck??

 

Way to go Carl,, makin junk parts into gold,, Tim Jones

 

Fuel line interference with the head gooseneck??


thas it ........... had to do some modification at the track.......
<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

 

Carl, that's gonna be a wicked cool setup!

 

Sure hope so Buddy, now to cast the scoop build the adapters, get a barrell valve see if I can get enough pressure out of my old Hilborn Pump ect. ect. ect. so much work ........ shootin for 2014......

 

Carl, I've got a pump that will work for you! Remind me to bring it to the dyno.

 

Thanx Buddy I would appriciate that!!

 

Hopefully a Hilborn 150 #0 . . . would be perfect!

 

That is going to be a BAD BAD ride!

 

Can't remember what the spare is-either a 0 or a 1/2. do you remember, Dale?

 

Thanks Buddy for all your help on this project, got some more done today....


Kinda like the way it looks up there now to cast a scoop, make a drive snout and end plate, rebuild the blower and other assorted crap......
Just pluggin along..........

 

Looks like it was made for it Carl, You'll have to cast B&B Racing on the side of the scoop,, Tim Jones

 

Carl, do you need that throttle body to try?

 

Thanks Trent but I think I will go with this two port set up, kinda like the ol time looks of it.........did you get the turbo hooked up yet??

yea Tim just what I was thinkin.........

 

Duh, your setup already takes the place of that body/butterfly I have!?

 

Here is that video, sorry it took so long. BUT ITS GREAT!

Thanx D it looks even better than I thought, neat run thankx.......

 

Your 2-port looks perfect Carl And when you cast the B&B scoop, why not cast a couple of B&B 2-ports

The C&D video from Eagle Field is epic!

Hey Carl:

Don't know if you're trying to cast your own scoop to exactly fit and have your own lingo on it, but another approach would be to buy a 2-port scoop from Hilborn and adapt it to yours. The centerlines of the holes will not be correct, but it would be a great place to start. Seems they are not cheap - about $250 or so.

You'll like that setup when you are through!

PS: I have a two-port . . . can take pictures of anything you like on it.
