OOOOHHHHHHHHHHH PPPRREEEEEEETTTTYY, SHINEY, I WANT!!!!! ;D
I bet it just might fit under the hood of Biggun

Can Am 427 intake. They are even more impressive in person.
-
Borla (now owners of TWM) have contacted me about doing an intake just like that, using my intake adapter as a starting point. We'll see what happens with that...
-
I thought Dove had made some of those over the years.
-
If tmc ever makes one for Jays adapter I want to be first on the list!
-

Yes Dove has made these over the years! For the Tunnel Ports. I talked with Jim about that 5 years ago and almost pulled the trigger on it... Very cool intake.
-
Very exotic intake. Am I mistaken or did ford lower the power on most can am pieces for longevity?

I have a photo around here somewhere of one with the lower area made to mate with a Cammer. Jim has the ability to do such 'mix 'n' matches. I may be mistaken, but it seems to me that the HR fuel injection he made-up for the sprint car he was involved with may have been based on that same basic set of mold patterns. I seem to remember the car on the cover of his catalog some years ago.

That was my reaction exactly.

I'll be in for that, and another adapter to support it. :)
-
Pretty cool..................looks very Old School with its bulk, I bet that thing is heavy! LOL
It is amazing when you see stuff like this and then you see a Kinsler Intake for an LS motor how things have just gotten better with technology!
-

Agreed
Love to see what Jay could do with the design.
That would look pretty darn cool hanging out the hood of my '66 Mustang (or anybody's car for that matter). 8)

I'm placing my order for one in magnesium. 8)

Is that Borla as in the muffler company?
-
There were Mickey Thompson intakes like that, Their 1966 catalog didn't show a pic of the FE one though. Magnesium or aluminum and for Webers or fuel injection.

Yes, that is correct.

Geeez Jay it might very well be time to farming out some work, Doing the R&D on all these new intakes adapters.................Or buy a few more machines and hire some people and start cranking them out....................Sounds like you are a wanted man!
-
Im no expert on flow but i think that must be
better than put the carb/throtlebody vertical
you get a straighter pat this way
A friend of me has built a intake like this
with Webers for a Cleveland Engine but its
not tested yet
Its built out of steel tubes with a piece of
rubber hose, so he can change the lenght
of the runners by using longer o shorter
hose.

Now this is smokin

Interesting. I'm a big fan of Borla mufflers. I run the Ataks on my GT and just recently picked up a set of their Pro XS series for the Mach. Good sound quality with little to no drone, great construction with quality materials, great flow for performance....and made in the U.S.A. They seem like a top notch company.
Then I find this page on their websight showing 427 FEs with FI setups.

Nice to see they are supporting the FE. It would be interesting to see what ideas they might have for you. Staying tuned....
-
I think what they are doing is building their fuel injection setups based off the Blue Thunder Weber intake. So, if they now can use my intake adapter, they can do a crossram, kind of like the one that Royce posted pictures of. That would be really cool...

That second picture in the Borla Gallery looks suspiciously as if it might be a Windsor. Maybe it's there because it's a 427! :)

Which adapter are they going to use? Are they going to use the 351c port spacing or go with the strait ports of the 13002 manifold. I plan on doing a cross ram injection with my adapter, something like this.

They want to use the 13002 adapter.

Check this out:

More pictures and some details are at the end of the FE intake adapter thread...

Very reminiscent of the old CanAm FE and the Indy small blocks. I'll bet it would be popular with the '30s-'40s street rod crowd also. It would be a shame to cover that with a hood! The newer self-learning FI programs are making this stuff much more feasable for the average builder.
I'm kind of torn about the popularity of the FE being on the rise. I used to enjoy having the only 427 and/or performance FE around my area. You're not helping, Jay 8)

LOL
No good deed ;)

Looks like something on grampa's rod from the Munsters LOL.
-
You drawing that in Inventor or Solid works?
-
I didn't draw the intake setup, Borla did, but the adapter is drawn in Solidworks.

That stuff is so Cool!
