I don’t post here much and am really more of a 335 series guy, but have always liked the FE too, and Jay’s/FEP adapter, so this project was sort of a natural for me. I’ve been messing with Inline Autolite Carbs for many years and have sort of become the defacto support for their parts and restoration; I know, but we all deserve to be good at something fellas
. I also love all things motorsport and really enjoy design and fabrication.
Inline Carbs were sort of still-born but have become very collectable and have a small but passionate following. I especially like folks that actually run them. Problem is, there were virtually no intake manifolds publicly available that were made for them save the CrossBoss for the B302 and adapted Dough Nash injection intake for IR use on 335 series engines. So, since it’s the intersection of many of my skills and interests, I’ve been on a quest of sorts to make induction systems available for the various performance Ford engines of the period.
I like to make them appear like an OE or
Day 2 Part, maybe something you could have bought in the
over-the-counter program…..no too blingy, just clean and workmanlike.
I’m an admin at a home foundry forum so the video at the link below is geared more towards how the casting was made for that forum. I make’em one at a time fellas so not quite on pace with Jay, and they’re really for period correct type builds and theme cars as opposed to racing but like anything else, can made to be run pretty well in the right hands.
I’ll have another video of the completed ready to run system in the not too distant future.
