Tony Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 Surly the air/ fuel intake would be totally wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_r Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 Why? They are just exhaust tips on carbs... Engine will still be sucking in through them.. Just looks odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted October 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 What about the distance between the carbs and the intake... I thought the fuel/ air intake should be as short as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_r Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 It should be but that engine is a big America v8 probably producing not much HP.. Looks over performance.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted October 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Makes sense, what a wast though plus it looks stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Long intakes can move the power band up for more horsepower , so it is very much functional Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted October 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 There's long and there's long?..... Do you think this is for top end speed because the design has hardly caught on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Doing it like that is a little retro, kinda what they did in the 60's and thats a point , a modern FI engine wouldnt look right in that style of car https://www.flickr.com/photos/thumpr455/14047349550 Looks a little different due to the carbs used I guess The design is still used but cast out of ally nowadays Found this one when searching for other high rise intakes !

Tony Posted October 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Your very knowledgable in the engine arena arn't you..... Retro look indeed but no a looker at all by design, frankly i don't like them period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
