Turbo'd 250 W/milled off log intake

[fast64ranchero]

Well I know a few people on here know I was trying it, I milled off the log intake, built an addaptor plate for the head, and then made the intake and exhaust, Now if I can figure out how to add a picture you all can see it, [P1010008.JPEG][/img]

Here's a way.

I tried a simple tutorial - if you're red-green colourblind I apologise.

When you click the "Browse" button you're looking for the image stored on your own computer. When the correct one is found, you click it once, select "Open" and then click "Host it". It will take you to the second page shown,after a short time.



When you get to Step 3, click once inside the box to make it highlight blue. "Drag and drop" the highlighted part into your reply window on Fordsix. Click the Preview option next to Submit, to check it works. When it does, click Submit and you're done.

photobucket is better I think. seems half the imageshack links I see are not shared so when you click on a thumbnail you still can't see crap

Yah, I use photobucket but this was already posted. I'm lazy so just copied it.

Thanks for trying to help, I email a couple of pictures to xecute, he said he would post them

Sick motor! Good work on the fabrication; no small feat there!

Does the adapter plate just bolt to where the exhaust manifold normally would? Good work!

 

[JackFish]

:wow:, when can you start production?

 

[fast64ranchero]

Thanks, I have a lot of hours into it, the intake is made from mandel bent 1 5/8" J bends and sheet metal, I was a little concerned about using thin J bends for the turbo header so I had some seemless chrome molly U bends made up. they are .093 thick so it should hold up, the plate between the intake/exhaust and the head is 1/2" thick, and will be a perm. part of the head when finished, not sure if I should braze it on along with bolting it, I'll take some more pictures and now that I know how to post them I'll get them on here in a few days.....

Is there enough room to secure some asbestos tile between the two manifolds? That would help keep heat soak down.

Can't get over the welding!

WOW! that looks amazing. Let's see more!

 

[MandarinaRacing]

I've always wanted to do something like that, but lack of skills and time have stopped from doing it!
Congratulations! !!!!! Amazing job and skill!!!!!!

awesome work! I'll have to show those pics to my boss to let him know what i'm up to during the slow hours at work this winter.

Well that looks like it'll work great! Nice work!
Can't wait to see more!

Later,

Yes indeed, they have arrived, but you guys were faster than me!.

I downloaded them as soon as I could to Photobucket but my wife had a mission for me, may garage, and some engine parts. Then came here and saw that Henries Horse had already been let out of the stall. Thanks Adam!



Most excellent work, Mr Hooker. This is a credit to both your intelligence and your hard work. I've never seen such a beautiful rework of a little Ford six in my 35 years. You've focused on just the weak point and attacked the induction and exhast problem in one fowl (Falcon) swoop.

nice job , verry interseting , verry nice idee !
great job onto the adapterplates .
keep this topic up with some more progres pic and how to , this is a great example for the other turbo freaks in this forum !!
maybe this type ore same model is a good idee for the new aluminium head from mike , ? this is a nice and good looking turbo exhaust manifold !

i whas into the same proces, got the adapter plate ready for adding to the head , did wanted to weld the plate complete to the head . but got another option from a friend who told me i could "" explode "" the plate onto the head !!

with explode i meen , 2 types materiaal that comes together with an explosion , i got 1 example here , steel 52 ad to aluminium . with exploding technologie .

he did wanted to figure out for me if this is possible for the head, so whe stil in this for trying. with exploding the plate wil be attach almost 80% to the head , with welding you do only the outlines . and exploding wil bring heat into both site,s the same time , so minor wrapping , i,m stil in this proces , would be verry easy to make if it,s realy working, milling the orginal; head down , make an adapterplate , and bring the stuf to the shop for exploding . no outline welding rings visseble ore raw edges ore leaking plates !
