I just finished the final grinding on the new fan shroud for the intakes today. Then I had to take everything apart to clean up the dust (that took another hour and a half - sheesh). Just as I was finishing up, the fed ex guy showed up with what became my intake screens. I am really pleased with the end result!! I am just a flywheel and a throttle linkage away from being all done - then I get to start on the chasis....

Ha! You dumb? I am the moron who put them on the motor! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
I think Mr Shea's idea is great - the redline screens were made as actual filters. A lot of guys using the Inglese (sp) Weber intakes for V8's also run them. I have no idea how good they are, but they are way better than nothing. I have read that depending on the tea strainer, the car can run rich due to air being restricted. The other issue I have been reading about is leaving the air jets/e tubes totally exposed (the holes on either side of the float vent tubes). I haven't quite figured out what to do there yet. I want it to run well. However, as far as suckig in a buncha junk, my current motor just rolled 10k miles - and it was built in 1996 - so I dont put a pile of miles on the thing. |
