Hey OG! I've got a long way to go yet...but I'm glad I've spent extra time thinking about project details...I've already avoided a few problems! Can't wait to see how it shapes up!
Hey Donald, I feel bad that it looks like such a hack job at the moment...but it's starting to take shape. Lol! Once I get some of the aluminum panels built and lower ported and cleaned up, it will hopefully start to look like something. I really want to make this work! Thanks for watching!
I mean $235 in 94 is the same as $500 today.(American) They have been the same price for 30 years. You would think they would find ways to make it cheaper.
Hi @noquicky, You are right. Considering inflation, prices are likely quite equivalent for affordability. After all, the Super Victor is not in the same price category as an Edelbrock Performer. I guess since the process hasn't really changed, it's harder to make it cheaper. Thanks for watching!!👍👍
Hi, I've been enjoying the car for the summer, but it is definitely going back in the shop to continue with the intake project. Sorry for no updates, but the project is still a go... I just want to make sure I (hopefully) do everything right the first time. It's definitely more than just a weekend project. Thanks for checking in!
Hi James, good observation! Yes it will be fuel injected. The Speedmaster intake thankfully has areas cast into the intake on the edge of each runner where it can be drilled out for an injector. I actually have that part 90% complete already and will show it in one of the next videos. Thanks for watching!!👍👍
Todd, I hope your project is going well. I don't know if you addressed this in any prior video, but did you ever consider a blow through carburetor system? I saw some air temps today that blew my mind. Just curious.
Hi If my car was a race car, I could see a person possibly trying a blow through carb system, but compressed air unfortunately creates heat no matter which way you look it, and I think my air intake temps are in a zone that most guys have to deal with. Methanol injection would likely be the quickest, cheapest way to bring down the temperatures, and have the extra benefit of an higher octane effect from the Methanol as well. But the air to water system that I would like in the car, (hopefully, lol) should work really well. Summer has put the project on a bit of a backburner, but I really appreciate your comment, as it always gives a guy something to think about, and another perspective! 👍👍 Hope you're having a great summer!!
@@306foxbody1 lol....yes I too understand "LUSSAC's Law" Have you ever recorded IAT's in the manifold? I just watched a guy make 26lbs of boost and IAT REMAINED LESS THAN AMBIENT. I spent a whole night reading articles and waiting to make a phone call to confirm what I saw happening. The fuel(E85, 91, 93, C16, etc) has a cooling effect as it vaporizes and mixes with the air. The same can be expected with EFI throttle bodies that introduce the fuel at the intake manifold flange. Port injection can't do this BECAUSE there is not enough time for the air and fuel to mix. Look into maybe....maybe not. Up to you, but I've been against hot pressurized air since 2008. I'm looking after 16 years I'm changing my views with the data I've seen.
@arturozarate1752 yes, the dry intake is definitely not helping as apposed to introducing the fuel earlier...yeah the fuel would have no choice but to cool everything down. I never really thought of what you mentioned earlier with the benefits of the blow through carb system...but this totally gives me more to think about...that's what I totally love about hearing comments... Also, our local fuels are holding things back a bit, as we basically have 91 octane at best. One day (be it next yr or the year after), things will hopefully come together . Your information definitely gives me more to think about!!👍 This is definitely a huge learning curve for me! Lol Cheers!👍👍
Wow, I love the mini saw mill jig you made. Really liking this project so far, thanks for sharing it!
Hey @@SleazysGarage! I'm surprised how well it has worked out so far...kind of crude...but still a good start Lol. Thanks for watching!!!👍👍
Todd that is some great ingenuity Brother! I love how things are coming together with that design! Going to be awesome! 💯👊🏾

very cool project your doing Todd! a little grinding and welding and that intake will make good power!

I’m loving this Todd. You hot it opened up great. I’m looking forward to the next vid on this. Cheers!
👊😎✌️
Thanks Rick! I can't wait for it to take shape... Once I get the intercooler core things should speed up. I just hope it all works when I'm done! Lol
Thanks for taking us along on your project.
Thank you for patiently watching. It's a bit of a slow process, but the final outcome should be interesting!👍

Any updates ?

Is it going to be fuel injected because I don't think it will be ideal to have an intercooler ater fuel
