Im alive
:) Well, my '62 Dodge Lancer is history now. New owner is road racing the old girl in Brazil with his Dad.
So I'm building an inline 6 intake setup (other make engine) to mount 3 Weber DCNF downdraught carbs (just for fun). Its a real scavenger hunt locating the calibration bits...... Jets, choke (main venturi) tubes, emulsion tubes, pump covers and pump cams...... To reconfigure them for this application, though. I reckon if it were easy, it wouldn't be fun.
This is the unmodified sidedraught intake that forms the inboard half of my 2-piece intake setup.....
And this is the modified intake that forms the outboard half of my intake setup (modified to accept DCNF downdraught carbs)......
I don't have access to a TIG machine since I retired, so after hand fitting the pieces at home, I sent them to my friend Nick for final welding and machining. He did a great job. After welding, he bead blasted the intake to make it harder to see that it had been modified.......
I will bolt the intake halves together using their otherwise unused DCOE sidedraught flanges to join them. Note to self...... Need to hand cut a gasket for that.
