32 Ford "tweaks" and a few mods

Greg,

Sorry for a quick thread jack. Can we talk some time about your Imagine Injection? A friend just bought a truck project off of us and wants to put an 8 Stack on a Big Block. I told him about your setup and would like to be able to steer him in the right direction. PM me your number and maybe we can BS sometime. Thanks. Jack over!

Not yet --- SAR is just waiting for me to write them a check. A few more tidy up details and we're there on the design and changes.

They'll start work on it about the week we're all at SEMA.

EEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAA

Looks like maybe the wheels will be 20's in back and 17's up front. Still working on that. I like that combo - now have to find an appropriate tire. I don't like these cars with skinny sidewalls... that just isn't "right". And we've agreed on capped LAKESTER style headers with out the back exhaust.

I think the Imagine Injection I have on the Nomad is too contemporary - even though the owner is a buddy - so I'm thinking of the Inglese 8 stack or a Hilborn. I like the looks of the Inglese unit and the common plenum for vacuum (PCV) is a big plus.

I was already told "NO" on the console having a spot for my coffee cup (which never leaves my hand)... I was told I could just buy a bean bag version from Wal-Mart. I like Steve's style! He's not afraid to tell a customer "NO"!

stay away from the hilborn set-up go with the Inglese set up .they use a comon plenum under the base to equal the runner volume .

x2 on the Inglese set up. We are running one on a BBC for our Shop Bitch project. Nice stuff !

Thanks guys... but you're preaching to the choir -- I already run one of my cars with an Inglese intake (using Imagine Injection TB's).... and I totally "get" the plenum. I took my polished weber intake off (that used lines to a small common plenum for the MAP sensor) -- as soon as I could get my hands on the Inglese unit.

I would never use the Hilborn unit -- that was just Steve's description when I said "I'll run an 8 stack injection unit".

The problem with the BBC --- is that they have not cast up a new intake with the large common plenum yet.... I hope that is in their plans! It really makes it nice to have lots of vacuum for PCV or power brakes etc.

I'm trying to talk one of my buddies into pulling off his intake and modifying the valley area to make a plenum like the SBC intake. We talked to Inglese about them making one.

True.... we are using the IDA manifold for mock-up but have a one off in the works. Not from Inglese but our machinist. He seems to have the concept and flow numbers down but getting him to actually make time for cut it is another story....
Enough hi-jack.... get SAR to send you update pics !

Steve - They're not going to start work until right around the week of SEMA... I have to cut them a check before they start - and we're still nailing down some of the details on parts to order etc. Once we are 100% settled - which is almost... then let the games begin. It's really not the much of a project - when you look at the scope of work. It's a rear end change - and at this point - we're pretty sure we're going to go ahead and set the motor back just a pinch - and a new grill shell (stock to replace the widened version) -- and tires and wheels. It's a little tiny bit of paint work... and a tranny change. I wanted the square weave carpet - and most likely the tranny shifter will end up in a new location - so the carpet would be replaced anyway.

I'm really the most excited about the rear end change and the wheel choice/size ... because that will really make the most difference to me.
