It's on the Scout II Thumbs Up Thanks again!
I completely forgot. I will see if I can take some pictures of it tonight. It doubles as a crosshair for when I'm stuck in traffic on the way home from work LOL

Intake quite finished . A pain to build ...

The bottom will be a 3/8 alu polished .


Frame from scrap metal found in the backyard .
Finished with 20 gauge . A pain to weld ...











Just don t ask , yes , it s long to build with hand tolls ... ......

Cheap sandblast cabinet :P
Part laying around , and a working engine to make a dead drier blower work .







I made "funnels" for the runners . I m sure this will add at least 25hp :) What is the right word for this ? Is funnel correct ?



Aluminium 3/8 on top. Of course it will be polished .


What I got , for now .

Looks awesome! What's it weigh? I would call those funnels "velocity stacks", but I am not sure if that is a car term too or just a motorcycle term.

Not too heavy , but I will had a piece of pipe from the intake to the motor mount to help . The runners are not so thick ..

lookn good man, lots of hard work there, definitly put a brace from the bottom of the manifold to the motor mount...   when the supercharger is under boost, it will put alot of stress on the mount...

I had an idea .... The ignition works with both mecanical advance , and vacuum .
I hope I will have pressure in the intake , not vacuum :)
So how to deal with this ?
Thanks .
