Default Re: BB Tunnel Ram Setup

I really hate to see this thread die, so here's a bump Marlin.



Here's an old Polaroid scan of my Uncle's 42 Ford P/U Street Rod which has been running Tunnel Ram since 1987 and it's still on there today.

The TR started on a 307 with 390 carbs (inline) while the 383 was being built. This then all went on to the 383 with a mild 470 lift cam.

By 1990 he installed a pair of 1850 carbs, removed the choke plates, added the rear metering block kit and center hung float bowls to them. Threw those carbs on mounted sideways with a homemade adapter plate and some sideways linkage. The truck never ran better! It gets 18 mpg @ 70 mph on the highway [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/[/img] Who cares what it gets locally.

Here's another picture of the Plowman I posted somewhere else once. Notice another dual quad setup!



Note the cobbled together fuel system Mark [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]
