Ever since I got my scout there has been talk of aluminum intakes for Scout motors. Well, it happened.

The stock manifold is heavy, ask Fred he carried one out of the yard one time b/c he didn't want to jack w/ a wheelbarrow. So it probably saves 40 lbs or so. I would be interested in the multiport set-up if I ran out of things to spend money on.
hell hath frozenth over
about dang time.
wow, they finally did it. cool. a 345 with fuel rails would look killa.
Who wants a moustache ride?

I vunt one, I vunt one!
I can't remember where those guys are actually from, but they are funny to talk to on the phone. I ordered a tranny mount from them a while back and it was like I was trying to get missle codes from a russian.
one of the guys in North Texas Binders just shelled out $500 for one of those.....I couldn't imagine dumping that much money on an intake that a carb still bolts to.
So school me on international engines. Did they ever use AMC motors? I have heard all IH motors are prety much turds power wise, is this true? The reason I ask is my next project is going to be the 63 IH truck I have and I havent looked too closely but I believe it has a V8. I was thinking I'd like to do a street rod theme with it, and was considering swapping a cadillac 500 in, just cause I can.
is that the harvester or the truck?
IH never made a hotrod engine. just dumptruck motors. put a 500 in it.
I am going to kick you in the balls. I knew someone would bring that up...Quote:

IH used the amc 258 in some scouts, and the 401 in some big trucks, I beleive that's where flem's came from. The 304 in IHs are an IH motor, not the amc 304.
If they came out with some aftermarket heads you could probably make decent power from an IH.
Do you even think before you type anymore?Quote:

I found this....and yes, these are Rear Wheel numbers....through a 727, a Dana 20, and a 44 rear. That's probably good for somewhere about 20-25% parasitic loss. The numbers aren't too bad for a modified stock head piece of farm equipments.Quote:

I meant what I stated, based on the tunability i have seen with Jordons use of LT1-edit and the mods available, I think it would be a much better way to go than the TBI crap. It would also be quite a bit cheaper than Edelbrock or some sort of stand alone. Basically mill out the center and make an adapter for a TB and such.
I can get you some pics Fred if you can't envision it :flipoff2:
no, actually, I was stating the fact that you're a ****ing idiot if you think you can adapt an LT1 computer onto an IH motor with ease. The LT1 uses a 8 notch timing disc and a 360 degree timing disc to refrence crankshaft position. This unit is otherwise known as the opti-spark and is not easily adaptable. I think a Vortec computer would be a much easier computer to use if you wanted to put MPI on something. As far as adapting a throttle body onto a carb manifold, it is done everyday using square bore carb manifolds and throttle bodies that bolt on using the carb pattern, no machining required. So yeah, I asked if you even read what you type anymore, or just spew off a series of words you've overheard or seen in hotrod while looking at the pretty pictures.

edit: fred beat me to it. oh yeah, and he's an @$$ :flipoff2:

I just look at the pretty pictures, Hot-Rod kicks ass!
There is a caddy with a 500 in my driveway, ill pay you to take it off my hands as long as the owner doesnt find out (my roommate)Quote:

point is oh angry one, i would like investigate other efi options, other tha tbi and and AL would make that easier. It seems that cam timing is the only large hang up for using lt1 efi, but a machiest friend of mine said he could build me a solution if it came to that.. I have also looked into Hal-tech and Fast for efi option.
anything that is added on is going to take addaption, for the sensors to gain info. just depends which way you want go. :beer:
hey brandon, why don't take a crack at building an EFI system first, then decide what is easy and what will work instead of coaching from the peanut gallery.

200 bones and you can real time tune them.
why would you mill out the intake for the lt1 throttle body?
I'd go with the only dry runner throttle body fully endorsed by FlemCo:

he never said he knew anything, just made a somewhat dumb statement and you brought down the wrath of the parts counter monkey on him. chill out!
brace yourselves.... here comes the attack of the asterisks :(
thanks john....why don't you just go buy a truck out from under me while your at it.
haha, i assume your joking, that thing was up for sale to everyone.
If john didn't buy it mario was right behind him. You can come get it out from in front of my house if you'd like. I could probably tell you where to look for the keys and title. Bring a d300 and we'll trade.
dont forget the starter on the porch. the new contact for it is in my pocket though.
yes, had i waited another 30 mins mario would own the shiny red toyotaQuote:

I would like to find some that is all GM parts, so when something craps out of the trail (and I am sure it will) I can just go down to NAPA and buy what I need. I have seen Mark have some issue with proprietary parts crapping out.
As for our Beloved Fredo, well you lovely attitude has earned your self one less friend.
