I had planned on using Jay's intake adapter and a tunnel ram on my next engine build. That is until I came across this piece. I always like to keep things looking a bit old-school, and since the next build will be going into a late '50s Ford, if I can get this thing to work, it will be going on my dedicated street/strip build.
I guess I'll just have to find something else to use the adapter on. That shouldn't be too difficult ;D

Nice polishing job.. sweet.
Are both center manifold mounting holes drilled on your PSE or just one on either side like Jays adapter ?

Some serious porn right there. :D

Keith, both holes are drilled.
-
Thanks. Was just curious.
Mine to.
I had to drill the extra holes in jays only because I rely on them on the drivers side for my linkage.
Impatiently waiting on my block to be done. All aligned bored and decked. Only needing bored but Someone borrowed the torque plate though and wont have it back till Tuesday.. >:( . Maybe ill be sick a half day tomorrow and take the 90 ride and pick it up myself. :P .
Don't you love how people borrow stuff then conveniently don't bring it back.. uggh.
Did you do the polishing yourself or you acquired it like that ? Looks nice..
-
I got it just as pictured. The polish job isn't a 100% show job, but it looks nice. I believe it will need some port work to work with the heads I plan on using, but I'm going to try everything I can to make it work. This was the reason for me asking about port epoxies in an earlier thread.
As a rule, I typically don't loan out stuff, for that very reason. I usually forget who I've loaned it to. I also suffer from terminal disorganization ::)
-
I'm sure you will be able to get it to work no prob. I had to fill the floor of my PSE runners quite a bit as well on the intake side to make the Cleveland 2v pro power sheet aluminium manifold work. I used epoxy as well so it would be easy to hog back out to 4v if needed. I have been using some stuff that came from a roundy round guy. He gave me a shoe box with several A and B tubes in it and I ha e used it for several years. There plain white tubes and when he gave it to me he called it Pro-Poxy. He worked at NASA and had gotten it from there. I have never been able to find any info on it because all they are are tubes with an A and a B on it. Unfortunately he passed :-\ so I can't ask him. I have very little left.. truthfully it kinda looks like JB weld lol but it seems to bond well and I have never had an issue with it coming loose although I still will sometimes use a mig with .035 aluminum wire and just stick a few stakes for it to grip.

That is a sweet piece.
What car is it going into?

Sorry, Marc, you'll have to wait on that one ;)

Bwahh haha
Thought I might catch you in a weak moment. ;)

Doug, who made the fuel rail? I`d like to make something similar for my setup.
-
I'm not sure. It's a very nice piece though. I'll see if I can find out from the previous owner.
-
That is a nice looking setup, alright. I assume you got a decent deal on it? One of the reasons I started building my adapters was that the PSE adapters kept going for stupid money on ebay, which made them a really cool part at an unreasonably high price. Kind of like SOHC stuff ::)
-
Jay, you forgot extremely rare too. I'd venture no one know exactly how many PSE made, likely not many. Kudos to your efforts to give the FE a wide range of modern intakes. ;)
-
Looks sweet Doug. I'd add that any late 50's Ford would look pretty good with that setup on display. It's almost as clean as the undercarriage of your Mach 1 ;D.
-
Jay, considering I got 2 totally refurbished 660 center squirters and a brand new BT oval air cleaner set with it, along with the several hundred dollars worth of polishing and fuel rail set-up, I think it was a pretty decent deal. If I had priced all that stuff separately (minus polishing) and added a new tunnel ram with the adapter, I'd have had about the same amount in it. Of course I'll probably have a few hundred dollars more in it to make it work good with a set of Pro-Ports, but it certainly won't be the first time I've spent money unnecessarily..lol
The rare and cool factor played a big part in me getting it. I'm a sucker for old-school-cool. The same will go for the car it's going in. I have better options for a drag car, but they're not near as cool.

Len, my drive to make things as perfect as I can has cost me more time and money than I'll ever care to admit!
-

The fuel rail was made by the previous owner. I sent you a PM about it.

Before I read this thread..( I always look at all the pics first...kinda like a new issue of Penthouse ;D ) I thought.... wow somebody polished the "Weiand" right off that baby! Lol I wonder which came first...The PSE or the Weiand tunnel ram? Looks neat Doug, thanks for sharing.
