Well kinda. You need to cut the intake apart, do the internal mods, and then weld it back together.
is there a how to on here about doing the mods to a stock intake cover?

how much do you think a stock intake cover would run pricewise?? i may step up to the plate on this one...?
Won't know til I get one done. Then we'll see.:smile:

glad to see you got some ideas, now get to it chop chop:biggrin:

when you go to put your 301 on, you will have to do more to the intake.:biggrin:
Not sure what you mean Matt.
The intake bottom will be taken out and then the insides will be cleaned up. I'll be welding on the top to add matereal to smooth the sharp corners and dropping the bottom at least .5" to add some volume to it.:biggrin: I've looked at the design several times and the problem is the narrow area that the air fuel mix has to go through. Kinda reverse of the HA SFI cars.83turbomon

I've got mechanical desktop on disc kid.:biggrin: What do you want to know?
well
for 1: I was curious how you blueprinted the mods youve done so far and i was wondering the whole time if you were using some sort of computerized program
two 2: i was trying to see if you could send me a CAD image of a stock 83 intake with an enlarged inlet port from the turbo, so insead of about 1 1/4 more like 3 inches, to ensure the air is cooled getting into the engine, and maybe some larger more efficend ports..
take for a VERY rough example, a six legged spider (l0l take me seriously for a moment) and at the end of each leg was an intake port into each head, and it rose above the engine about 3 inches. and at the spiders back was the hot air inlet from the turbo into the engine. No it might not fit under the stock hood, but yes it could still be used with a draw through application, but some work would have to be done to the turbo... i can picture it in my head, but not on paper, but maybe on a program that I havent used since 6th grade
I know for sure it would cool incoming charged air. it would be perhaps modded from the original air intake, and would have the same thermostat housing, PEVR valve attachements, and all other stock factory fitting and lines would fit.

isnt that kind of similar to the "high rise ram air" 4bbl intake manifolds for the Buick Stage 2 engines? then put on an AK miller box for draw through turbo, one that bolts directly between the 4bbl carb and the intake manifold but has plumbing coming out of it to the turbo and back...I seem to recall a very odd D/T box that had the top part as a square, with an exit port on a side and the floor was basically sloping down to the two ports to go to the turbocharger itself, and on a 3rd side was the main inlet from turbo to the bottom of it which led to the 4bbl intake manifold...not sure how it'd be mounted but it was for a boat?

you will soon. remember i am putting the 301 on my car now. why do you think it took me so long to look for a downpipe flanges. this in not just a bolt in thing.
Well duh!:biggrin: Never said it was easy Matt.:biggrin: I've got several pipes and flanges here now waiting to be cut up when it gets to that point. Both internal and external 3" so I'm good to go. I have an external gate still in the box as well, with tubing and everything.

not talking about that. i suggest you mock up the turbo first. you will see why.
a buddy of mine wants me to make my downpipe with this junk. Walker Flexible Tubing-Galvanized 40001 - eBay (item 390294465670 end time Apr-03-11 03:11:21 PDT)
will this work or is it a bad idea. he keeps telling me it will be faster than fabing one up. he also says they use that all the time on buses
give me some reason why i shouldn't use that stuff.
i was going to fab up a down pipe, but if i can get away with this stuff why shouldn't i.

No. That flexi tube is junk. The EGT's are high enough that it would probably just melt. Of course it would be easier than fabbing one up but would not only look like junk and would rot out in a year.
Stay away.
Which reminds me I have that jig for DP's sitting in a shed just begging to be used.

It's illegal in most states for automotive use. It's legal for large trucks because of where the exhaust is located.
