Not very formallar with Dodge, turns out that you can put a 383 Mopar intake on backwards. I had to do more trial and error to get it to fit the correct way. Not fun when the engine is in the car :af:
What i hate about my buddies 68 is you can't get a male terminal cap and plug wires work loose and foul the plugs and number 3 is a beast to change with headers in a charger. what other problem you having. 2 and 4 suck to with alternater on
Looking at the pictures now I wonder why I did not catch the fact the intake was backwards (carburator mount). It was not until I was reading Hot Rod that I thought something was not right. Should have it back together for spring to beat up on the brand Xes
Not stupid at all. I wish I had an SPX intake to compare the flows. It would be easier to just bolt one up, but I also like the chalange and to be different.
Only have it roughted in now. I will take it all apart and make it pretty when it goes back together for good. Hood clearance is only one reason I am making the change. The second is that I am going from a duel-plane intake to a single-plane (Torker Two). When I want to change the hood, I will go to the Victor Junior. So far, the bonnet was just touching the hood now it is 1/2 inch away. I did not want to cut my VFN stock flat hood or add at least a cowl to it.
I have a Cool Runner,same as SPX, that was done by Gessler some time ago,I have flow #'s for it if you want to compare. gary
me too. I hit into a couple runners while cutting on the intake and had to take it to someone to get them fixed. One of my next big shop tools.
I know a guy :laugh: I had to take the intake to someone to get that fixed. It is the only welding I have had to do so far. I hate paying someone to do something I can do only if I had the tools. That is why I want to get one a practice. I have looked into getting one and $1100.00 is how much it is going to be just to get started.
My buddy has a machine that will tig but i just don't know how. can you not just run the water hose s from the front? or is that from the backwards install
