Looking for info on this Model A w/ WILD intake setup....

Any one have any more info on this car or intake set up?
Looks like a model A to me... Any one have bigger pics on the car or setup.

Pulled these pics off the net, but they had no info with them...

 

Pretty cool setup, side draft webers look bad ***. I remember seeing that car at Billetproof a few years ago.

Interesting.

I've found downdrafts


I suspect those are Weber DCOE may help in your search.

 

I am a genius

You can get them from Total Performance in Conn.

CT.

 

Wow! Very cool but just one of those ****ers will set you back like $1200 w/ linkage. More for the two 4's one.

 

That is my friend Stephen's car. The setup is from the place he works. Pierce Manifolds in Gilroy, CA. Check out hotrodwebers.com

 

here are a few pic of it from the GG West Coast nats.. added a few more carbs

 

a close up of the intake

 

and one from the rear to complete my posting. Does anyone know if he is running airbags on it. (maybe behind the grill and in the rear? It was so low (or is it a trailered car)

 

sweet.... thanks bp-dude.
by any chance, do you have any pics of his car/engine.

*Edit*
WOW! boones i just seen your post....
NOW thats WILD....

 

Weber IDA's droooooooool

 

Kinda interesting exhaust set up too.

Can't go wrong with IDA's. I was going to use them on my Hemi, but they're a tad out of my price range.

 

I just read a blurb on the latest incarnation.Apparently the IDA's (downdrafts) are the primary and the DCOE's (sidedrafts) are the secoundaries (or vice-versa). Does seem just a tad overcarberated, eh ? He must have those ****ers choked down like crazy. But damn it sure looks cool.

 

In my personal opinion, this set-up is gay.

Either the sidedrafts or the downdrafts would be cool, but both are just plain gay.

 

Boones I saw that car at Billetproof 2003. I dont think he runs bags and its a driver. It won best of show!

 

This car is in Drive! magazine.

 

I thought an X-1 manifold was the ****- That is just down right F@#$in' Bad AZZ!!!....Dirty

 

That car is a full on DRIVER. He's driven it from the SF bay area to Vegas. No bags just regular air shocks in the rear. The front rides just as you see it.

 

Nice thing about Webers is their near infinate tunability. a pair of 48 IDA's can be set up to run in a 1600 VW, then retuned to flow almost 1000 CFM. The secret is their removable venturis. You can chance the CFM of the carbs easily, and they can be set up to run on anything.

They make an unreal sound!

 

I had heard rumors it was driven but it seems so low (and I have driven lowered and bagged trucks for years) that it just seems like it would destroy itself..

It would also amaze me if all of those carbs are hooked up. I thought that maybe either the top or sides would have block off plates and be just for show and attention. Its a great advertising piece for the company that sells them...

 

vegas 2002

 

When I saw that car at Paso in 2002, it was ONLY suspended by a pair of airshocks at the rear... no springs. Seemed a little ragged-edge to me. I dig the look, but build quality seemed sketchy back then... don't know what it looks like now.
