That is great! I wish more people did things like this.

Beautiful work - I especially like the 45's....

....and the cold welds add a touch of old school.

The Flowmaster carb elbow is the next great thing. I believe it said he was hoping to have it in Columbus next month, The competition just got tougher, BOYS........

[Vegas69]

What do you expect from a ford guy? :rofl: So he cuts up a muffler and dingle berry welds the pipes and wonders what beat his pistons up? Hilarious

We are missing something here. This is one of my favorite sayings:


It's not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or when the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worth cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.

I salute the dude. I would say "cut him some serious slack". Although I also laughed my a$$ off, I very much salute his efforts and enthusiasm. Did you notice how the guys on the boards were at first amused, then very encouraging? The guy was very innovative and resouceful. With an HO block, he might have pulled it off.

5ive-oh, you da man!:thumbsup:

[Spiffav8]

It's a different approach that's for sure.

I suppose I have to give the guy credit for doing it him self and for not being afraid to give it a try.

I totally agree.

[RedRyder]

haha, it's nice to hear you're giving the guy credit. I feel better now when I start pulling out some of my beginner moves. I can't wait to start falling forward.

[BC69]

That took alot of effort. The forum was pretty supportive and no one seemed to give him any crap for trying!!

So it seems the end result didnt work though?

[Brian46]

Seems to run ok, even if it only lasted a short while

[Project_Gotham]

OMG!! A Flowmaster plenum!! Or is it a intercooler? I dident know they invested in the INTAKE side now.

[V8TV]

He's miles ahead of those who never try. It all looks easy until you pick up the torch yourself for the first time!

I agree with Jim 100%, not only did it take guts to try, it took serious stones to take pictures and post them...

My hats off to the dude! :thumbsup:

Wow... not too sure about that carb hat... but these home grown setups can make serious power on the cheap (at least while they hold together).

And this reminds me of this guy who did it for 900 bucks and actually got some ink for it:
