[Inline6Merc]

Has anyone made a custom intake for a for 200 or any 6 with a cast log head?

Thanks

Curtis:

This has been an area tried for many years with all kinds of variations.
First was the multi-carbed log back in the 1960's. Offenhauser made a manifold which fit over the log which is not any better that drilling out the top at both ends and welding on flange plates. Some have tried to saw off the log itself and atttach their own flanges. The bottom line is that the basic log head is a big POS and always will be. It was never designed to be a performance product. Forget the idea and go with OZ or Argie head with a removable intake. While these are hard to get right now, chances might be good in the future for some new castings. Patience!

i,m just into the progres to ad a crossflow EFI intake to a log head .it wil be my winter project , already dit cut of the intake.

Buying a manifold such as, the oz and or the argie would cost me an arm and a leg and would take forever. I could build one for not alot of money and not take as long as it would for me to get a manifold. I have yet to see a home made setup for a intake manifold. KNow i have to build one!!

Hello, this is my first post here and one of the reasons I joined was to delve into this communities wealth of knowledge and building my own 3 carb setup for a 200ci is one of the subjects I require help on. Is it as simple as drilling a hole on either end of the log, welding on flanges to bolt the carbs to and fabricating some kind of progressive linkage? Thanks for any help any of you might be able to give me.

Welcome comet,
It sure seems that way. There are a bunch of them on here, but I've noticed that people are moving away from the tri-carb setup and instead are milling off the stock carb mount, making the hole oval (or adding a hole), and mounting a single two-barrel carb directly to the manifold. Depending on the configuration, you can get as much or nearly as much power as with the tri-carb setup, but it's much easier to tune a keep tuned. Look around, you'll find some links to very detailed websites descibing both approaches.

Note the way Harrie has the head cut. Now take one of these from a 240Z, toss the SU's and add a pair of these.

I've long been working on a design for sidedraft setup, lack of time and money have halted any progress though.

Basically I plan on hacking off the log, but leaving the runners and log wall attached to them. Then a flange could be made and bolted to the small leftover section of the log. Lack of time has kept me from being able to investigate this any more though.

The carbs are proving the most difficult and by far expensive part of my idea. I have not been able to find 6 sidedraft carbs that flow about 85cfm yet. The closest I've found to a working side-draft carb setup is the famed Weber carbs, but then you're talking serious $$$

weber carbs , over here verry cheap , -50 € and you got 2 side draft draft,s carbs !! i got 2 pairs here 40 M/M i did thought !

Hey the66 mustang, what year head did you chop up? The intake ports look little. If a later 70's head/intake was to be cut off would it naturaly have large runners? I've had the same thought about removing the log and putting anything else there in place of that log thing.

I wounder if there is a way to mount your crossflow EFI intake to the outside of the log. Get the left edge milled flat and punch out the 6 corisponding holes to match the EFI intake. Is the flow problems with the log it self or the way the carb in situated on it? Just cover the carb hole with a plate and you'd be good. Later.

Here are some pictures from this forum. Copy the ME or SP head layout, and use a Diesel LD 28 intake and shove injector bungs and a V8 throttle body on it. Then use either the stock aftermarket headers, or make some ME/SP rip offs. Copy the photo's, and plan your own combo.

If you can trac down an LD28 Diesel intake manifold....

ol boy , this was my test head , a 66 , the other head where the efi intake is now onto , is a 78 head .
i did laser cut a plate with studs and welded onto the head ,then did replace the tube from the efi intake with steel tubes , fitting the log pattern .
