My Geny.

Thanks Howie. No matter which way you go it can be a expensive hobby. 

That's a very good price on the tunnelwedge. It looks mint. Dennis at DSC sells the pan gasket. Mine came with the original gasket but it's slightly cracked in one spot so bought one from DSC s a backup. Also has the little slot head stainless screws and washers with the holes in them for safety wire. I think those came on it from Ford but not certain.

I was originally looking for highriser stuff. But Earl H (The Going Thing) had these TP heads and intake in excellent condition for sale. So I grabbed them. Shortly after that I saw a set of NOS highriser heads and intake on ebay. LOL oh well. Very happy none the less.

Here's the original gasket that came with mine. Stiff material maybe due to the age or just came that way. The repop gasket is a bit softer material but fits very well.

It's interesting about the screws. My TW has a set of socket head cap screws and are drilled for safety wire.
Most of the pictures I've seen show the slotted head screws.
Someone could have changed them, but my intake sat in the same cardboard box for 30 years. lol

FWIW, I did a short series of articles for Mustang Illustrated Magazine back around 2000-2001 regarding the TP. I used Brother Lon's engine as the basis for the work, and part of what I did was to compare, side-by-side, both the single plane and dual plane dual quad intakes. I don't remember exactly what the Superflow said in regard to numbers, but we flowed each runner and found that the design, both single and dual plane is quite admirably balanced. And there isn't a great deal of extra flow from the single plane.

I'll try to find my own copies of those articles.

Howie that's cool to know. Ford might have used both (or updated) and hex head screws I'd think would be better. Sitting in the box for 30 years that's a great find. Super clean.

Ken yes please I'd be very interested to see anything you might have. I have been a long time fan of Brother Lon's TP stang. And have read everything you've posted about it over the years. Very cool ride. I have seen only a few of the dual plane TP intakes. And have wondered how they compare to the single plane version. Thanks!

I'm getting some work done in my new shed.
Almost got the tools in place. Still need to get power. $$$$
The drywall is about half done.
Then I have to strip the white Fairlane. So I can move the Stang in.

Lookin' good, Howie.  Nothing like fleshing out a new shop...

[ScotiaFE]

Got the 390 out of the white Fairlane.
Should have the body stripped of all the stuff I want in the next few days or so and then it's off to the recyclers.
Then the Mustang can move down. It's been a long time since I've even considered moving the Stang to work
on it. I'm getting pretty stoked.

Picked up some parts for the Tunnel Wedge.
The lid has a few chips, but looks great.
A couple of old 1850's.
And a bell crank.
Until you actually see the size of the hole unit in real time you don't really get a feeling of
Holly Crap that's BIG.
No way it would fit under the Fairlane's Hood without some hole cutting. 

[machoneman]

So, are you gonna get a junkyard flat hood to cut and save the hood on the car?

[Joe-jdc]

Anywhere a Medium Riser intake will fit, the Tunnel wedge will fit.  They are the same height.  I have seen the Highriser fit under the hood of a R code fairlane with careful cutting and milling.  Where there is a will there is a way---Joe-JDC.

[ScotiaFE]

I've seen a flat R code hood with the braces notched and a medriser. Very Kool.
The TW is for the Stang someday.
The green Fairlane has a good working 390 with an RPM and don't really have any plans to change
that set up. Maybe a stroker someday.
The Stang has a tear drop glass hood with lots of clearance.
I took the intake into town and set it on the Geny.
OH YA! Very Kool. Way more impressive than the Victor.

[Glenn N]

So will that be it's new home or are ya still planning to use the Victor?? Lookin good Howie.

[Glenn N]

BTW would love to see a pic of the Stang too. Those are my favorite.

My 427 Fastback.
I'd don't like the yellow and have not liked it for a long time.
It's a factory paint code X car Presidential Blue with Black int.
Pretty kool combo.
I gave up driving it for years because I really didn't have the space to get it
ready for paint and it has just sat for years.
I have new fenders and doors and boxes of junk for it.
Oh and a new 427 for it.
