Sigh... I'll get there Randy! I promise!

Patience Grasshopper... Patience!

Picked up a pair of TFS Aluminum heads this week. So we'll set those aside and see what else we can find for this "brew"...

Mike, so here you are buying even more parts and you haven't even posted pics of the engine yet!!!

Come on, don't be teasin' like that! It's not right!!!

It's just a motor Randy... besides, I need a few more "ingrediants" for the brew... patience... patience...

Just for Randy! I was feelin' bad that you were pinin' for pics again... So... here's what we're starting with, move out the rusty ugly stuff and bring in the new. LOL... In no particular order, I got antsy and wanted to see some progress, no matter how small.

Now that's what I'm talkin' about!!!! I especially like the 4th pic down with your car lurking in the shadows....

So, what are your intentions for this engine....or is that still a big secret?? Obviously, with that intake you're not considering it for your daily driver!!

Thanks for the pics! I think it has potential.....

Secret?? Nope, no secret.. same old deal, save up as many pennies as possible and make the most bang for the buck! Usual hot rodder stuff right? The intake was available with dual or single quads. I haven't found a top plate for a single so I just may have to make one. I've also been considering swapping out the fours for dueces and see what it'll do?

A friend ran a dual quads once, it was okay but I swear my single quad made more power and faster... we'll see what happens.. I'm pretty sure Don, Itoldyouso, also ran dual quads, but I'm not sure he was going to keep them.

Potential? Sure! Just need to make up my mind and do a 331 or 347!

Ok, so here's the source of my confusion.....maybe I missed a post or something but I'm confused about where you're going to put this engine... Is it for your '34? cause I thought you were happy with the engine you have in there.

So I keep referring to a "secret" because I was wondering if you had secretly picked up a '70 Maverick or a '63 Falcon or something to drop this baby in...

So please pull the wool from my eyes or the cotton from my ears so I can stop making these dumbass remarks about your new engine.....

AHHhhhh... now I see! Another car? Nope.. Bobby is the one who collects all the cars!

I don't think I ever said I was unhappy with the motor in the 34 but... it's a 78 smog motor. runs ok. but.. it's a 78 smog motor.. and well... 347 roller cammed small block, in my best Tim Allen grunt, R-R-R-R-R more power! HAH any questions?

That is one wicked intake! Does it have "SHELBY" cast in front of the left carb? The angle's not good enough to be sure.

Yes, it does! Known as a Shelby Ram Box over at the SAAC (shelby american auto club). Made in "69", a great year!

Roger, I found this picture.

Nice stuff, looks good and should run strong, too!

Educate an old guy who never had anything that even hinted of needing 2x4's. With 3x2's or other multiples one carb runs the idle circuit, and the linkage is progressive, staging in the "secondary" carbs as you add more throttle. Do you set up 2x4's with a progressive linkage, so that it keeps the velocity up in one during idle and cruise, or are they both equally opened, both running idle circuits since the spacing might tend to overload one side of the engine a bit? I would imagine that trying to balance two sets of primaries to be right in the low to mid-range would be "interesting", as in potentially frustrating? Just wondering.....
