32 Ford "tweaks" and a few mods - Lateral-g Forums

I had cup holders in manual stick cars. Never stoped me from drinking while driving. But I can understand, your getting up there in age now and multi-tasking is becoming to much for you to handle.

The moon eye tank idea, not bad but it would have to be thermolated cause it would be ice coffee in just a few miles.

What were we talking about?

The stacks are cool but the price to cool ratio is a bit off since they cost more than a blower. About 5 years ago Inglese was cleaning house and selling off a lot of odd stuff. They had a 4X2 inline vintage Weber looking manifold. It looked like an old Ferrari with all those carbs inline. It used an offset dist to clear the rear carb. It was super cool and different. They had a billet 1 piece air cleaner that just looked funny. Would loved to have seen it with short stacks and screens.

Just throwing out an idea to make the SBC a little different. They sold it for like $15-1800. Yes, I should have bought it!!

Yes Inglese - or any 8 stacks for that matter - aren't exactly "cost effective" -- but is anything we do with these toys?

I personally like the old skool kool of the multi "carb" look on these cars...

Ala my Nomad which has a combo of the new Inglese intake but using the Imagine Injection throttle bodies.... and I can mix up the looks using different stacks and or filters...

I have the full on filtered billet look.....

Or the 2 1/2" short stack / screened look....

Or the 5" tall nasty stack look....

Or the way it currently is set up.... short Cooks filters with the painted valve covers....

Nice pics Greg. I like versions 2 and 4 myself!

Thanks!

I like the "current" version with the painted valve covers. They "frame" the stacks and make them pop a bit.

Since this old POS is just a driver... I just play with it all the time. My wife calls it my "rolling experimental platform".

I like the tall stacks - but they're within a 1/2" of the hood in the front and with no 'filters' I really don't like driving it that way. I'm on pins and needles waiting for a rock or something to be swallowed!

That does look good actually.

I'd be afraid of rocks going down the stacks as well. That would not be good.
