There made in Brazil. I am a distributor for their products and have 20 intakes coming, but none are that style. I can check and see if they are still available and get pricing for you if your interested.

hummmm interesting Question & off the wall. Now if you have your own foundry Doing your own CAD drawings why would you Buy 20 intakes from Brazil?

Fair question Larry. It was a trade situation, the owner of the intake manifold company in Brazil was interested in some of the items I got from Joe, that I wasn't too interested in, and it was easier for him to give me some of his products instead of money.

He wanted the 4 cylinder head and a raw cast FI intake, and one of the raw 6 cylinder heads and a raw FI intake for it. Not that I was not interested in the 6 cylinder head, it was more the 4 cylinder head, but he wanted one of the 6's also.

Thank you. That is kinda what I was thinking ( trade offs ).
Once again Thank you for a straight answer to a straight Question.

Im working on making the patterns a little more compatible for the smaller bore 4 and 6 cylinder engines. Joe had the chambers and valve sizes made for using with a 4-1/8" bore size. So the re-designed setup should be much better. I still have(2)aluminum 4 cylinder blocks for you Beater.

Are you going to produce aluminum 6 cylinder blocks?

Will you add engine mounts to it or need to use motor plates?

I always wanted a block.

Hank, I would like to at some point, but I won't have any way to pour the casting myself, its just too heavy to pick up and try to attempt with just one person. So at that point I will probably have to get a larger casting facility to do it for me. But yes, it will have the traditional motor mounts to allow fitting it to passenger cars so it will have a wider target market.

I'm a person. OK, An old person, but I can lift stuff. I can pack a 302 block across the shop. Hank and I could come and help. How cool would that be? Seriously? The three of us working on an aluminum block project would be the ultimate Inliner collaboration, unless Tom and Larry jumped in. \:\)

Teaching them to retrieve them is easy. I'm having trouble getting the dogs to crush them and put them in the recycle bin. Maybe I need tow different breeds for that.

You might want to see if you can train him to help you drink them too, it'll take almost 100 lbs of aluminum to pour a block...so drink up! \:D

The 5 of you couldn't agree HOW to do it and it would just turn into a big beer bust to build up your can supply..LOL

So are you going to come keep us in line? We need an adult to supervise.

The problem is that they do drink the beer, every time they bite one it sprays and they bite the spray and fall down and never bring me the can. \:\(

Yea, Beercanador Retrievers are not a soft mouthed breed like most bird dogs. You actually have to start them on bottles and progress to cans of something that tastes really bad like Budweiser until they learn not to puncture the can. It's funny watching them lick their butts to get the bad taste out of their mouthes, especially after they've popped a few. \:\)

Better yet teach me on how to make some Z-26 billet badges on your CNC machine. \:D I am still in need for them. If you know anyone?

CNC-Dude,
That is a pretty sweet manifold! I don't reckon it matters all that much but... have you given any thought as to which 2GC's to use: the 1-1/4" flange(1-7/16" throttle bore) "Chevrolet" ones or the 1-1/2" flange (1-11/16" throttle bore) "Pontiac" ones?

All the small flange ones flowed about 197 CFM "in four-barrel speak" while the large flanged ones ranged in flow from 249 CFM to 308 CFM ( again, in 4bbl talk) dependent on the venturi size.

I reckon it might be easy enough to do both, if you were so inclined.
No big deal; just curious. Keep up the good work!

Yeah, its drawn with the smaller 2GC in mind for the smaller 194 and 230 engines. I could make a larger runner version for the 250 and 292's that use the larger 2GC carbs if its needed.

It's on the list. Doing the patternmaking now on it and a few other things now.

I havent heard any foundry updates lately. Have you just decided to be a POOLETZER prize winning author? I got my copy of Case File #1948 the other day. It looks so good I'm going to read it again. I think the publisher did a good job. The binding seems to be far better than the Bonneville rule books which fall apart as you walk away from the SCTA booth. I used to complain but those gals are tough. I just make sure I have a rubber band to keep the pages in place as I run away. \:D

I actually have entered the book into a national contest for independent publishers and should know the results by the first of May. The Gold, Silver and Bronze Award winners are presented with their awards at a publishing convention in NYC with many of the bigwigs in the publishing industry. Tom's wanting to try and move forward on the dyno testing book which I will be publishing for him as soon as him gets me the files rolling in. And I have a book signing here locally in March to prepare for along with several TV talk shows. The foundry stuff had taken a backseat with all the snow storms we had been having here lately, so i'll get back to it once I get my Stovebolt book and his finished.

I don't know if I missed this information in the thread, but does your two barrel manifold have the attachment points on the bottom side to allow it to hook the factory exhaust manifold for heat?

It will have provisions for heating like the Clifford and Offy intakes do. I just don't know how compatible it will be for using the stock exhaust manifold instead of headers.

I guess hot rodding and writing are really just two different ways of harnessing hot gasses for fun and profit.

I have started the patternmaking process for the 2bbl intake. Spy photos will soon show it being tested in a "secret" undisclosed location on the West Coast. cool
