Randy D Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Hi Folks, I thought I would share photos of MBW's 3D parts that we are working on. Our first engine project is the Ford 427 Cobra motor. It will feature Weber carbs. We are releasing the Webers first with the full engine kit coming out first of June. The goal is 3D printed parts that have a surface that is ready for paint, no more 'grainy' texture, and a reasonable price point. The Webers will sell for $9.00 for a set of four (unpainted).

SfanGoch Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Are side drafters in store for the future? They'd look great in an AM Corvette Grand Sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exotics_Builder Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Looking great. As already queried, are side drafts in the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I could NOT resist picking up a set of these at NNL East..............Absolutely TERRIFIC! I should've also got the manifold, but I'll get that one later. Keep up the terrific work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my80malibu Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Those look Great Randy. Good luck with the engine kit. It looks like a winner already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Ferrari's had carbs that were more 'siamesed' than what we see here. It would make for nice detailed engine parts though if one wanted to use them.

MeatMan Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 (edited) Great job Randy! I'm building my 65 Cyclone as a B/FX using the 289 engine this summer, I think these would work. Edited May 9, 2019 by MeatMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy D Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 Thank you Folks for all the positive comments !!!! Stan & Gerry, I know a guy that needs side draft Webers for a Birdcage so you know they are coming Kurt, I believe Ferrari used the Weber 40 DCL carbs which as Bill pointed out, are more compact. Bill, I did let a sample of the manifold go at NNL East but they are not for sale yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMP440 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I like the looks of the clear orange that the parts are coming out with. You could do a nice looking see through display engine showing the internal parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dann Tier Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 All I've gotta say is, WOW!!! Now these are worth getting!!!.....i think i might need one for my Pantera build!...VERY impressed, Randy!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quick GMC Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 (edited) SWEET BABY JESUS. Exactly what I have been waiting for. I need a 427 with Webbers. for a Cobra build and there isn't anything out there like this. I'm in for several Are you doing both the vertical and slanted manifolds?

Randy D Posted May 11, 2019 Author Share Posted May 11, 2019 Hi Folks, Thank you George:) Appreciate that Dann !!! Hello Cameron, Yes , both kinds of intakes will be included with the motor kit. You will also be able to orientate the expansion tank either way to match your radiator. The following are some pics of the 'slanted' Weber manifold. *** PLEASE NOTE*** that these pieces are test prints that we run in a black resin (low cost) and print in 50 micron layers for speed. I sprayed two of them with chrome just so you could see them better. These prints were ran with the Webers and manifold as one piece so we can check measurements and parts layout. For fun I included the smaller print in silver that shows fuel lines and throttle linkage and distributor that was printed all together.
