48mm IDA weber vs 58mm weber intakes
On the top is a new blue thunder 48mm IDA intake, with a 10 degree canted mount angle.
Below is a 1960's Hilborn Fuel injection system for a ford 427 with High Riser heads. The system consisted of two pieces, two banks of 4 throttle bores, of 2 7/16" (62mm) diameter, that are bolted to the top of the intake. I believe the intake has the 58mm weber bolt pattern and spacing. As you can see, the throttle bores are straight up, not canted at all. A somewhat rare intake. It has been polished, and no identification marks are visable. This should make alot of top end power. I unbolted one of the fuel injection throttle body castings to expose the mating surface of the intake.
As you compare the two intakes, you can see the larger bolt pattern of the 58mm weber intake, as well as the larger ports. There isn't enough of material on a 48IDA intake to redrill for a 58mm pattern.

April in Gunrack
I let April take Gunrack halfway to OKC to a Hinder concert, 120 miles, we were in my Stang as a chase car. You would not BELIEVE how many honks, waves, and stares she got! Even without the Cobra she is a "guy magnet." She had a ball.

1965 Cross Ram 426 Race Hemi
1965 cross ram race hemi, as installed in a 1965 Dodge Coronet A990 super stock. The race hemi was all cast iron in 1964, as the cars were built with lightweight body panels. NHRA stipulated that for 1965, all superstocks had to have steel body panels, so Chrysler redesigned the 426 race hemi with aluminum heads and water pump as compared to 1964, to lighten up the cars, along with lighter steel acid dipped body panels. I believe the 1965 Race Hemi's were the only hemis equipped with factory aluminum heads. What a beast !!!!
