Vern Tardel Slingshot

Does anyone else make an adapter like Vern Tardel's slingshot? Where it goes from original 3 bolt pattern to 2x2's? I was going to buy one from Vern, but his foundry went ***s up, apparently.

 

I don't know, but they have been around forever and made by several sources. They pop up at swap meets here and there.

Check the cl***ifieds here regularly, and post a wanted ad here in the cl***ifieds wanted section.

Also, a decent fabricator can make one for you. Easy.

 

found this for you http://www.vintagespeed.com/ I myself would just make one ,But I'm cheap Tim Jones

 

I thought this was going to be about slingshots. . .

 

Oh boy, that's spendy... Vern's was only $85. I may just get an Edelbrock. It crossed my mind to make my own, which would work. But it would be a little "crude".

 

Ha! Those are super cool! I really like his garden trowel too, haha.

 

Yeah their pretty proud of that aren't they, I think someone else was making them also, I found that useing google,,, Tim Jones

 

I just reread the add the adapter alone is $99 not the $750 for the complete setup ,not sure if you saw that Tim jones

 

Reds Headers lists one for 75.00

 

Ahh, I did not see that! Thanks.

i checked their site and didn't see them,
can you post the link..

 

It's item number 1476. Go to Reds site. At the top you will see where to click for the "online catalog." When that section pops up,put in the search box intake adapter and it will pop up. I just checked and it is still listed. Sorry I don't know how to post a link.

 

I got an Edelbrock slingshot

 

The Vern Tardel adapter was copied from the adapter made by Eastern Auto in the 1950's. It has the name Eastern Auto on it, up and down each side of the adapter. I have one of these adapters for sale. The Eastern Auto name has been polished off and it is mounted on a stock aluminum intake that is in mint condition. If interested let me know.
