custom edelbrock intake adapter!

[98COBRA281]

started out with a peice of aluminum 6 x 6 1/2 x 5/8

made a template

after about an hour and a half of work on the scroll saw and drill press...

just using the stock plenium as mock up

its not complety done yet, i still want to clean up some of the edges and sand blast it to make it dull to match the intake and C&L plenium

tell me what you think. btw MMR plate = $70 plus shipping, mine = about $40 and about 2 hours of work............

looks good what all did you have to buy to get the intake other then the plenum adapter you made? i know fuel rails but anything other then that?

yeah hopfully it makes a decent gain, but it might be put on the back burner for now, because ive been talking to my buddy, and were trying to put together a tubular k member/control arms, and front coil over kit together for my car, so the intake might have to wait a little longer.......

 

[1fun281]

fine by me gives me time to buy exhaust and rims and cai kit, see what i do in my free time just put stuff in order of how im buying it. now i see what you mean by modding doesnt stop, i dont even have a stang yet and im already planning

with the stock plenum it might clear the hood , but with the C&L i doubt it would.... not a chance.... especially that i heard this intake is actually taller then stock , you might wana check clearance but i guess you can slice it into 6 slides and make money off it

my car aftermarket plenum didn't clear with a similar raise with the direct port nitrous kit , so this is something to look out from.

the C&L it 3/4" taller then the stock one, but i have a 2.5in cobra R hood, so i think it will fit

In regards to your custom adapter, did you blend the smaller intake elbow opening into the large square bore opening to help eliminate turbulence?

Looking good! Car should def. be a runner when you get it all said and done with what you are doing!

didnt realise you had a raised hood , should be no problem then

thanks... it better be a strong runner...lol, im hoping with the suspension work, coil overs all the way around, k member, ect, light wheels, and a little more power, im hoping for a rock bottom 12's pass...............

ive seen a few dyno numbers on other forums, one guy gaind about 45hp at 6000rpms, and only lost very littel down low, so im hoping it will put me at, or above 330rwhp, it will be getting dyno and retuned........

Looking good buddy! Great Job

 

[98COBRA281]

thanks

ive been working on matching the stock plenuim with the 4 barrel flange, i started out with a rough cut on the scroll saw and im using the carbide bits to blend it in...

allmost 1/2 way done....lol

 

[Tim2002GT]

Nice work! The thicker spacer may actually help on the low end also. I'd still like to see you put the hose to it when she's all finished up!

 

[98COBRA281]

well started on the C&L, its very thick, so it will be opened up a lot, to almost match the intake!

oh yeah!!! its going to be ported to the max!
