Pics of an off the wall 200

[Anonymous]

Okay finally got some pics of my 200. Unfortunately i havn't the brain power to post pics but if you hit this link and click on the square box that says "pictures" then hit "view larger" they should be pretty easy to check out. I have the linkage for the carbs figured out (well pretty close) and the K&N stacks on the weber 1 bbl's will not be used instead i want to plumb then into the Holley unit with some low profile elbows and pieces of stainless. I am going to run the short water pump and 144 pulley for now so i can get it running with the stock radiator and fan till summer hits and AC becomes a necessity. Machinists says should hit about 300HP at the crank--sounds optimistic to me but hey it ought to run pretty good--have done everything to the head that is possible--have WAY TOO MUCH $$$ in this engine but you only go around once. The center carb is a 108 autolight and the outboards are ICT's on dual port VW runners with inserts flowing right to the end cylinders.

Can't get there. Try photobucket.

ok lets try this photo bucket thing

I knew I wanted to see that !

Well done. Very visual. Outstanding engineering. The detail is eye catching. This will be a winner at any hood up situation. You may want to "check the oil" every time you stop!!

Well, it's certainly different....

Why use the VW intakes if you are only mounting a little 1bbl Weber on top of them? I think machining the center to mount that 2bbl directly, and then fitting the 1bbls on the ends directly to the log would do a much better job, and be a lot simpler. Not trying to discourage. These need all the creativity they can get. Now, what are you going to do for a hood?

Looks kinda Frankenstein-ish...I like it.

Interesting. I dig it.

What hood?

I like it, I like it a lot!!!!!!!! keep us posted on the progress!

Simpler would be a stock engine or a v-8. actually the flow characteristics of the dual port runners are superb and they work like a 1bbl-2bbl adapter and line up perfectly with the 1&2--and 5&6 cylinder intake valves and they look really cool.There is also the fact that they came in the package with the EMPI kit as well as the linkage set-up (which is going through some modification also. Plus the high rise effect is good at hi-rpm and the webers will be on a progressive linkage. Hood clearance is not a problem i have cutting torches, sawzalls, drills, grinders etc. LOL -However the valve cover to highest point of the Holley wide boy air cleaner housing (this is at the rectangular filter backs)is 1/4" lower than the stock 1bbl and air cleaner housing. removing the cones from the weber's and plumbing them into the Holley unit is the plan at this point. Theoretically the hood will work stock although i want to put a functional scoop there anyways. If the hood braceing and the square parts collide, ducting those parts elsewheres would also be a possibility.The 2bbl and adapter are actually shorter than the stock carb and water base and that big ol aircleaner is lower than the stock also. I have some larger flow 2bbl's available if the the engine will pull more than this set-up provides.

Just a crazy idea here. Why not modify the hood and running the length of the intake log directly over the intake log (meaning off centered) have a flushmounted plexiglass sheet? If I remember, the Taurus SHO showcar had an all clear hood, but I imagine that would be a pain to clean after a while.

Don't do a clear hood scoop though. Although, offset might be cool


Just my two cents.
