Big Block Drift Truck - Pic Heavy

[bba952]

i can see this....but draw has waaaaaay too many issues with puddling and wheel erosion. the setups for blow through now are really good. i wont be surprised to see carbs becoming more common if people start catching on....i mean they will still probably incorprate computers with wheelie control and electronic ignition for crazy stuff....but for a manual trans brawler like this critter where a guy wants bare bones and minimal electrics, for damn sure get one of these blow thru carbs readily available....


between the turbo and plumbing/intercooler.... a good offy intake and ignition system you will be 3 k all in, but its gonna be a monster of epic kewlz nezz.


really, makes the big block look cheap....at this point. but this will be much more interesting for sure.

Blow Through Carburetor - Pro Systems Racing Carburetors

Go fast and don't worry. This is how blow through carburetors should've been built in the first place. This design currently holds the World Record on the Salt as driven by Willie Glass at over 208 mph in a '29 Hi Boy (as delivered "out of

of course, i would just build a homemade bread box for now on top of the efi lower that will hold this blow thru carb and just run a turbo and no cooler through a carb hat or home made setup to get going.... hell, probably do that under 1600 with the new carb and it will be a beast. ignition might still be tricky but the speedway setup is pretty cheap.

making a custom upper intake and welding it to the lower was exactly the plan. the clifford and offenhouser intakes are abit costly at $400-$500 so i was going to fab something up in a day or so with some scrap aluminum. it wouldnt be the best flowing intake but the currently available intakes are too "vintage" looking to me.

and the cost of a turbo system for the 300 would be a little pricey but its still cheaper than the 460. i would have to beef up the entire drive-train and hope i dont brake axle. plus less weight, i weighed the 460 and transmission in my f350 and it was just under 770 pounds

had a lot of options but chose to reuse the original main cap bolt on the main cap next to the oil pump. i removed 1/4 from the studs but the pump was still hitting the nut and i didnt want to trim the nut.

Here it the clearance after swaping to the original main cap bolt.

after spending this morning looking at custom intake manifolds i decided to start working on one for the 300. still havnt decided which carburetors im going to use but they are going to be one or 2 barrels.




im still amazed at how long the individual stock runners are. they are a little over 10in long when the upper intake is bolted to the lower.

me using a hose clamp to make a strightish cut line.

now every time i look at the intake i cant stop thinking of individual carbs

something like this. 1 carburetor for 3 cylinder.

still cant decide weather to use 2 Ford autolite 1100s or 2 Stromberg 97s
