Intakes almost ready - update 1-8 are READY
- Thread starter AzCoupe
- Start date
That's what I'm hoping I still have my stock hood on and had a hard time getting my 2bbl to fit. I'm planning on ordering one around June or July but was just wondering because in the pic's it looks like the carb pad is moved over about 3" from stock. Also how tall will the 4bbl adaptor be or can it mount straight to the intake?
Thanks, Daniel
Thanks, Daniel

The 4V carb adaptor is a 1/2" thick. The carb can not be mounted directly to the intake, you must use the adaptor.
Here's a drawing of the different adaptors being cut with a water jet.
When I get the motor dropped into the 66, I plan on testing a few different induction combo's on a chassis dyno. They will include a 2V, 4V, dual Weber, and triple Weber. Eventually, I'll test single, dual, and triple TBI's, and finally a couple boosted applications.
This is one of the setups I'm going to test. Not only does it look sharp, it eliminates any hood clearance issues. The only draw back is the cost, but I can save some money by fabricating the adaptors.
Oh Lord,PLEASE let me win the lottery.Hehehehehe.Leo

Mike,
I know you are real busy with all the new stuff, but can you or any body else tell me if three 44idf (down draft) webers will work on a IR manifold
with the aluminum head?, the ports unported measure 1 5/8" or 42mm
across on the head and valve dia is 1.840" or 46mm.
Are these carbs to big for a 200 with your head?.
Or can I compare it to a jag 3.4 liter with 45 mm dcoe's on it.:
Thanks any one,
Kevin.

Mike,
That side draft to 4v adapter is exactly what I was looking to do, only with fuel injection using 4 TBs. I saw one like it here...

Thought about maybe doing only 2 TB setup also.
Keep up the good work! Now all I've gotta do is save enough pennies.

Just got a call saying the intakes are ready to pick up. So I'm heading down to LA tomorrow afternoon to fetch them. I'll post pics of the production intakes, showing the changes we made, when I get home.
And in case your wondering why I made three adaptors, here's how they'll fit on the intakes. All three can be rotated if desired, as the mounting holes are on precise centers. The 2V-B adaptor can also be converted if you want to upgrade from a 2V to a 4V down the road. I'm also having a solid adaptor made, which will allow more options, and a 2V plate (no mounting holes) which can be used as a spacer, or for log head conversions since the mounting holes can be drilled where they are needed. All are 1/2" 6061 aluminum, and will be tapped for carb studs.

Where can I get one of those?
Are you sure you want one? The chrome setup in the pic runs about $3 grand. 
The cheapest versions run $1150 for 40mm, and $1400 for 45mm. You can have them painted for something like $450 for black or red.
I'm going to have some flanges cut and make a couple adaptors myself, which will cost about half. As for a finish, I'm going to do one polished, and one powder coated, or ceramic. HPC does some pretty neat stuff, which I get a break on, as they are now owned by Jet-Hot.
I'd like to try one with a couple TBI's.
Here's the link to their website.

Would you consider a clean swap......... i have a 1974 model girlfriend in good condition, she cooks, cleans but she's developed a back-fire.......every time i go to play with the falcon she starts back firing from the head. I looked up this symptom in the repair manual and it's apparently called "complaining". Since Ford doesn't have a tool to fix this problem with, i think a trade-in will solve my problem.
Stip.I sure hope that she don`t read these forums. Leo
Here's some update pics with the modifications we made after flow testing. The plenum dividers help balance the flow however they are now angled instead of being squared off. We also increased the radius at the top of the intake runners. It may not seem like much, but both modifications yielded improvements in the flow, especially in the higher lift ranges.
