gonna work on it more tomorrow. gotta do some more clean up work from all the garbage mounted on the fender wells..... might take a few days but ill get some video once i get it lit trying to think of what to do with the carbs since they make themselves look bad..... need to clean em up first....... dont feel like sitting there for the next week polishing them....... ill think of something
ok? question is will i get them back tho after you are done im thinking about it......... i might paint them to match and polish the intake. im also thinking i may fabricate a custom air box...... possibly hybrid the 22RE top intake portion and make it into a custom air box with a snorkle that leads up to the front of the truck......
TWM has some cool induction plenums almost exactly like what you described; they also allow you to still use velocity stacks. It looks like you have room to use it on your truck since you have short runners. What kind of intake manifold is that? Looks pretty cool.
That's an OG Mikuni intake manifold that they sold as kits in the early 80's... Well built and fits like a glove!
WOW............big props sd yota. looks awesome!!! i see your ready for some wrenching ahhh..........DEADLY BUILD! i see you still have your stock mechanical fuel pump are you gonnah run your carbs off it or up grade to a better electronical one just wondering?
as for right now. im gonna try the stock mech fuel pump. i have the elec fuel pump but no regulator and dont want a junkie one so imma hold off. ill also be installing a small in-line press gauge. im gonna look into the intake box since i want a little bit better filtration....... the filters i have now im sure would do the job but i want more area for filtering since i noticed my stock open element got real dirty real quick....... being as low to the ground as i am, the fan kicks up ALOT of dirt and dust into the engine bay making the filters get dirty quick. im also looking into a 16" elec fan setup..... i might do twin 10" since i have em but not sure if they'll fit yet. im also gonna try and figure out the throttle linkage and choke linkages.
linkage came with the carbs but i need to come up with a way to connect it all. the fans ill be running off of an electric thermostat that i can adjust.
