Hot Rods THE INDUCTION THREAD

With some of the impressive systems and the vintage systems posted I'm hesitant to post my setup here, but I want to play too, so here's my 2 x 2 setup for my 283. I didn't want to do the same ol' 3 x 2 that so many have done, didn't need dual 4's, so I went with the 2 x 2 just to have something different and figuring it would have sufficient flow capacity for the engine it sits on.

 

I have an affliction for dual quads....

 

I like it, very nice somewhat different induction.

 

I do to..... And BLOWERS.

 

It's a 1970's version of a 144 B&M Forced Induction.

 

6 94s on a modified sbc edelbrock on a 276 Desoto hemi in my old T I used to have.

 

Flattyblowerosaurus, from ancient English meaning a forcefully air inducted, non overhead valve, V-8 engine. Circa 1949. Known to produce average horsepower after consuming extremely large amounts of cash to build.

This particular example is a 471 Navarro set up from the nice people at HandH Flatheads on a heavily massaged 8BA and fed by 3 97s.

Don't we all!

 

Hey BB, can I call you BB, any idea what the $$$/cu. in. ratio is to achieve "average" hp out of a flat motor?

 

Blues4u, I don't see any reason for you to be hesitant to post that, it's a well thought out and executed set up, nice work!

 

Billy that is one of the nicest, and widest flattys I have ever seen, no matter what it cost. Its a mind blower!

 

I built a 4X2 intake with the crossfire intake from the 80s.
I milled out the egr ports and welded them up. Then I made a plate for the top and drilled it for 4 2 Jets.
I had to collect abut 30 carbs to come up with 4 alike.
I ran them 1 to 1 took some time tuning but when I got it it ran strong on the lower end but was a little lacking on the top end. I was thinking it was do to the small intake runners in the lower intake.
I have posted a picture of it on here but I can find it now.

I have been thinking of trying this with a vortec lower intake. They have a larger port and may be a better set up.

 

I'm running 3 Rochester carbs with progressive linkage on an Offenhauser intake and 1" spacers all on a 283 chevy.

I have seen this truck in my travels.

 

Always liked this set up on the Moonkist T Bucket.

 

Rather mundane, but it works....goes fast, yet mellow in traffic, and purrs down the highway.

 

Ten extra points for the tin script rocker covers.

 

Chucky. Just wondering, what jets , metering rods and springs are you running in the carbs?

 

I run this 2x2 intake. It's a Weiand X-cellerator base with the top milled off and a divider in the plenum. Took a pile of carb cores to get the parts to build two the same. It's on a 62 283 and it runs great, really snappy!

 

425 nailhead with a pair of thunder series 500 cfm carbs on an eelco manifold.

 

Never did get it right on the street. Guys are claiming to do it now, but they must know something I didn't. That's why the two holer didn't last long. Bruce Crower claimed his injection set ups would start without priming with a squirt can, but I never saw one do it.

 

<<<<<<<<< my avatar.....3 of the many I have put together

 

Who could forget this set up. High and Mighty!

 

Some tunnel rams, just for fun.

 

Barris had a wild set up on the Munsters car. 10 two barrels got the job done.

 

Way too cool! A headache for the first sync set up I am imagining... But the visual affect is amazing.

One I need to finish.

 

I have one of these tops. Tried to sell it a couple times, no takers. I'd never run it on a car, maybe I will make into a lamp.
