The project has been waiting for a long time, but now I m very rich and can have the engine rebuild :)
Well ... It s my own Chrismas gift in fact, I m still poor .... A few things have changed since the last post I made here. I really don t like the look of the blower with a carb. And the Eaton looks too modern. So the new idea is making another intake, since my metalcasting skills are better, and use 3 Rochester B carb with TBI. I m building a Gingery lathe, this will help. I plan to use mini TBI injectors from a Blaser on the top of 2 carbs, and the IAC on the third. So it will look vintage, I can relocate the Eaton but with a modern system and less detonation problems. Still planning to use Megasquirt. According to Forest advice, I plan to use a Comp Cams cam, but unfortunatelly I deleted the PM :( So ... I have to go to the machine shop tomorrow . Final plan : Stock trans ( already rebuilt), stock pistons, 5 or 6 psi of boost, dual exhaust, TBI injection. Is it worth using ARP bolts for rods or head ? If so, they are not listed on the ARP catalog for a 232. Are they the same as the 258 or the 4.0 ? Here s the kind of intake I plan to build. Thanks . |

Looks like someone fell in love with acorn nuts.
A lot of carbs, when you consider the 4 little bitty intake runners.

Would that happen to be a aftermarket intake for your 38 Buick ?

No. it s just a picture I found on The Hamb. I don t think there s been Buick intake like this one, but who knows ? I t s just an intake I like and is a source of inspiration to build one like this for the Rambler. And being two parts, it s quite easy to build. BTW, the engine I have for the Buick is a 1951 263, instead of the 1938 248. Modern crank bearing, instead of babbit, and a lot of small improvements. In fact, I plan to have a similar setup later on the Buick, with a Paxton. The 232 is a mock up. I prefer to break a 232 , learning, than a rare 263 :P Here s what I plan to do with the Buick : (this is a Gimp, there s no Photoshop on Linux :P ) And yes, the mags are Minilite like the austin Mini Cooper .... But so .... ARP bolt or not ? |
