Hey Tom,
what ever happened to Richard testing all the different intake manifolds on the 292 inline 6 on YouTube?
The high ram and dual quad manifolds he did not test with good points last I heard.

I thought he was going to do the tests over after some points were going to be installed?
Also, I thought he was building a specific turbo 292 build & put it into he Nova?
Last he spoke about it was that he sent back all the manifolds he had borrowed.
And no mention that he is building a a turbo 292.

Any more info from you?

Thanks
MBHD

Richard has sent back all the manifolds at my request. In fact all the parts that were sent.
He said he is going to run the 292 again, but was not sure when that would happen. Told him , I would be more than willing to help him with parts when that happens.
When he was running his 292, he would never contact me for for any help. Although it was offered many times. There were problems seen that he had that could have been fixed.

I have no plans as of now to buy a Dyno. For the amount of time to be used would not be wise on my part.

I reread your post about the passing of your friend and the way it was worded sounded like you were the one that bought a new dyno. I guess you were meaning him that had just bought the dyno.

Yeah, he just bought a new Superflow just 2 months prior to his passing. It is sold already. I also don't have room for one currently in my shop. Machine shop is 32x42 and stuffed. Looking to expand in the future.

Mine's 60' X 40' and there are eight cars and two motorcycles in it! Also two work tables and four work carts, three tool boxes, a 48" X 24' shelf system that's 14' high, two kayacs, two MiG welders, a large oxy/aceteline set, a large job box, and a two post lift. The lawn mower has it's own shed. The wife's Buick, my pickup, and two cars belonging to my son are parked in the driveway.

Fortunately, there's almost two acres to spare! I had the shop built four years ago. On the day they handed me the key, I put seven vehicles in it!! I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how I did without it for all those years!!
