jeff f Posted November 21, 2017 Author Posted November 21, 2017 I finally made up my mind on the injection bases . They will mount to the intake surface of the heads leaving the lifter valley cover exposed . The AMT metal stacks are too tall for this car so I'll make some out of 3/32 tube . Everyone have have a wonderful Thanksgiving . Jeff .
Joca Posted November 24, 2017 Posted November 24, 2017 Great machinery pieces Jeff. May I know what you use, a Sherline maybe?
Codi Posted November 26, 2017 Posted November 26, 2017 Now those are cool Jeff. I really like how you did those and know the bit of effort that it took to make them even more so considering their size. VERY nice. Cheers, Tim
jeff f Posted November 27, 2017 Author Posted November 27, 2017 Thank you Joao and Tim , I use a Bridgeport with X Y nc programs . The bases were too large , downsized and made new parts . no big deal , gave the first ones to a friend . Jeff .
mike 51 Posted November 27, 2017 Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) You might google fuel injected Y block Fords....The heads have unusual intake porting...stacked instead of inline as you have them. not a big deal but it surprised me when I researched Hilborn injected Y-blocks. add...google "Battle bird" Thunderbird.

jeff f Posted November 27, 2017 Author Posted November 27, 2017 Got the new smaller base pieces done , finished the intricate porting for the over under intake ports . I made stacks out of K&S 3/32 tube . No they are not rivets . Slowly getting there . Thanks for looking in Jeff .
Mr. Muppet Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 This thing is beyond cool. Can't wait to see what you do with the interior.
jeff f Posted December 1, 2017 Author Posted December 1, 2017 Closer now , one bite at a time . I turned some mufflers and used 3/32 solder for the pipes . Thanks again Jeff .
