Foxer Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Could you explain what this is supposed to mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbuzzed Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 If I remember correctly, the term refers to an intake manifold that was designed for the 426 Hemi engines. But I could be wrong. At least it's not green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtx6970 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Will the real "Rat Roaster" please stand up Amen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I don't know about the "real" roaster, but I just got the kit and I am doing an unboxing review video of it. So far I am loving every part of this kit, and the wheels along make it worthwhile to have one in your collection. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=69823 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmvw guy Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Is this a cross-ram with a gas grill burner mounted to it for roasting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I remember these. Never actually cooked on one, but I did warm some sandwiches and try baking a potato lashed to the exhaust manifold of my Triumph GT6. Maybe we need a thread about cooking with engine heat.

Danno Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 If you don't spray the insides with PAM, it's hard to get your breadloaf out of it after you bolt it up, put the carbs on, and make a 1/4 mile run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown03SVT Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 ok... its a tuned runner manifold for a hemi... how does it relate to the rat roaster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalenut Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 for some reason those carbs don't seem to meld with that shiny block and intake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtx6970 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) ok... its a tuned runner manifold for a hemi... how does it relate to the rat roaster? In regards to the newly avail 32 ford kit , It doesn't . This manifold was produced back in the 70's and was called the Rat Roaster. It's a play on names . meaning roast the rat ( aka big block chevy) The were designed with and avail with interchangable tops to accomodate different applications / classes . member Bartster just sent me a resin inline 2 four version for 1/25th scale. PS, these intake top lids were avail in inline 2 fours and a crossram 2 fours (both shown above) , a single four dominator base , and I think???? a sixpack 3 two barrel holley setup allowing multiple applications without ever removing the base from the motor. One of the problems with them they were prone to puddling fuel in them and if it backfired it would blow the top off the manifold. Friend of mine had one on his 1968 Hemi Dart but has since changed it to a more correct crossram with 2 holleys.He was never impresed with how the car ran with a dominator versus the crossram.

Foxer Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I appreciate the explanations .. I wasn't trying to be a smartbutt. I remember just meat wrapped in aluminum foil in the engine compartment, though. ... divide cooking time by number of cylinders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
