Trick Flow Track Heat Mod's for the Street
I am curious as to what modifications you have done to make new Trick Flow Track Heat intake work on your street SB’s.
A few days ago, I was at the right place at the right time on the internet and was able to purchase one of these intakes (it was the only one in stock) and it should be here mid next week. But while looking at my already mounted Weiand X-celerator, I have noticed a few differences:
-It appears that the Track Heat does not have a mounting hole for the stock type carb return spring bracket. I will have to purchase the Quick Fuel spring return kit to fix this issue.
-It also appears that the Track Heat has two large fitting holes in the front coolant passages. I can use the one on the driver’s side for the heater hose fitting (I need new heater hose and I can just cut the new piece a little longer) and the other, I may just plug and tap it for my existing coolant sensor.
-It does not come with the ¾” bypass hose nipple (Thanks Boosted), but I have one on hand.
-I will be using the Mr G intake gasket kit #5840. I will be curious how close the ports are to this gasket set.
-It does not appear to have a vacuum port on the rear of the carb flange. I will drill/tap for my fitting if needed. Can someone clarify if the vacuum port exists on this intake?
Did you clear coat the intake, or paint it engine color?
Anything else I need to look out for?
Thanks!
