Here\'s a picture of Steve of Buffalo Engineering's 2x1 to 2x2 Edelbrock Conversion. Close up of 7 hours of filing and smoothing out the aluminum welds. Passenger side view of intake soon to be topped with 2 of Tom Langdon's Carter-Webbers.

Looks very good. It would almost make one think it was Factory. If one didn't know any better.

Here is the Edelbrock getting closer to the install. Another pic of the articulating assembly , right and left threads attached to the ball joints. Again the carbs are from Tom Langdon and the beautiful welding of the aluminum plates to the stock Edelbrock was done by Steve of Buffalo Engineering. I will be running water heat to the bottom plate of the manifold. Won't there be an air pocket in the plenum water chamber of the manifold? How can that be eliminated? Or can it?

How do think there would be Or is a air pocket? The air should be pushed Out just like any other water area.( block,Head, heat core, Rad.) it will/should all bleed out just like the rest.

Gentlemen; Steve's always done good work for us. A fair price too. Happy trails.
