[IMG] It's taken a while but I finally got my intakes cast up. This is a unmachined casting. I will probably be a few weeks but I will post a...
For me these were a labor of love. No way I can make any money doing this even if I don't factor in the time I spent making molds. I figure I will...

I just got this casting back from the foundry. I still need to have it machined. It will mount Weber or Del Orto to tall deck Desoto...
Okay, I can see that the upper left screw hole is missing, compared to a "classic small block chevy". That does sound like a deal breaker though....
[IMG][IMG] picture of my Tremec T-56 TUET2066
I am building a 345 Desoto hemi and just bought a Tremec T-56 transmission. I know that there are a lot of different vesions. Mine is a TUET-2066...
There are a lot of engine that are seized or have cylinders that need to be resleeved. So one engine might sell for $400 while a better engine for...
[IMG] I have a problem with hood clearance so I couldn't use a U-Fab. This is the manifold I made for my 345 Desoto
With all the talk of engine swaps why didn't anyone suggest another 276 hemi motor? I recently bought a 291 that turns over for $400. It is caked...
[IMG][/URL][/IMG] I just got my manifold back from the machinist. Welded the two pieces to the base. I can then cast them as one piece and save...
I don't know the answer to that. I considered it I didn't have one to play with. I was a little leery to buy one then cut it up.
TR I like the picture of Webers on a Chrysler hemi. However there are a lot of intake manifold choices for the Chrysler. The Desoto gets no love...
I guess it's all academic now. I made a 2.0 cm thick aluminium plate that runs across the entire head. Milled the mounting flanges off the...
I made the wood form for this. Then made a silicon rubber mold. I then popped out 4 wax copies and covered them with castable resist. The project...
Thanks for the idea about the aluminium. I was thinking of using lead but aluminium is safer. I know that some on this post can tell a side draft...
Yes these are side draft DCOE not the more expensive IDA updraft. They have the venturis removed. I am machining a bung for a Bosch fuel injector....
Ratman; Yes making the manifolds one piece is probably the way to go. However if I did that I would need to make a core box to cast the runners....
The motor is a 341 bored to 345. The intakes are 4 separate aluminium manifolds. I am still in the prototype phase. They are unmachined. One...
[IMG][/IMG][IMG] I suppose to be more traditional I should have used Strombergs but I always liked the look of the Webers.
Okay guys I expected a little criticism. I had read the sticky note and was aware that my project is not traditional hot rod stuff. However I...
perhaps this will work better [IMG]
[IMG]I am not sure how to post pictures on this site. See if this works [IMG][/IMG]
I am building a 345 Desoto hemi with electronic fuel injection. Does that count? I am casting 4 separate intake manifolds each will have a 2...
Hey guys, I am new to this forum. Well actually I have been reading info from this site for years. This is my first post though. I have been a...
I am interested in a roller cam for my 341. I was hoping to use a camshaft with similar specs as a 1957 SA dual quad motor Adventurer. I know the...
I am in the late stages of making an Intake to mount 4 X 2 barell Webers to a Desoto hemi. They will fit both short and tall deck motors. A boss...
