retro log style intake
has anyone out there ever built a old style log type intake or have any ideas or recomendations or ideas on plenum sizes designs etc. i am entertaining one for my 500 caddy bucket and was thinking 8 runners into a single log plenum with either 3 or 4 small 2 bbls in a row.
the 500 in the t bucket doesnt need more power but the rod look is what i am going for. i would guess i could build somehting a lot lighter than the original 1/2 ton intake .
what kind of carbs could one use.,i used to have a 318 dodge that came with a small very simple 2 bbl carb. 3 or 4 of those in a row centered higher over the engine would look pretty neat.
any neat ideas would be appreciated. i think i could make manifold pretty easily with a plasma cutter and go frome there
You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
