It is nice to get them in your control and make products.

Yes Beater That is what is left of the First run. I didn't get pics beforehand I was sidetracked with doing a few 292 builds which I had not really planned on doing. So, I am just getting things back on track sort of speak. I'm always busy like a 1armed paper hanger LOL

Did you get the fuel injector bungs added as you had mentioned in previous posts?

unfortunately, we have not. right now, we would like to get some of the initial startup funds back before we make any other changes at this point. Even though to me it would have been an easy change, I should have done it before they ever went to the foundry. So that is an error on my part.

Looks good Larry...! They did well for me when I was selling them. I wouldn't sweat the bungs not being on them. I sold right at 50 of the side draft intakes for the 6 cylinder and 40 of the 4 cylinder intakes without the bungs either . I had equally that many additional inquiries about them as well, and not one single person inquired about that feature. So that told me that persons using side drafts prefer the real thing. I personally think the bung is obnoxious looking on these intakes and hurts the sleek lines and design of them. If someone want the "EFI look", they can figure out how to get there themselves....they figured it out with the 4 bbl intakes easy enough...

Good luck with them....

Thank you, that is true enough for sure. And I would have to agree on the obnoxious/Junkie look if you're not using them. Plus, I was no longer in a rush, or a Dior need to have it done. at this point in time.

It's always cool to see the raw product turn in to the finished part. You should record this somehow. Whether picture format or video.

I am in the process of building a one-off adapter to mount Keihin side draft carbs for a Harley Davidson EVO engine to Chevy 235 and 261 six cylinder heads- - - -one for each of the three intake ports. Once I have a working prototype I might be interested in commissioning castings for the adapters. Can you share the name of the foundry you're using by PM? Thanks!
