I am looking for something really odd
You know the intake manifolds that have a little stack and throttle for each cylinder. I am looking for something like that. Any Ideas

The old Hillborn type fuel injection? It's the only thing that comes to mind. These have eight stacks but come without air cleaners and are for drag/show cars only usually. Will suck a mallard right out of the sky. :D

Re: I am looking for something really odd (Guru_4_hire)
YES, one of Stu's finest, but the injection is NOT electronically controlled, and based on an old German mechanical design....so the only thing to do with one of them is put modern injectors on it, and there are folks that do just that....
then you have best of both worlds....snicker...
now to solve the air cleaner problem...I suspect that 8 adaptors with * separate air filters from K/N would look cool dunno how in hell you would see down the road, but what the hell,.....it's a straightaway!!!!!

Ahh, Webber downdraft carbs. Mucho expensive setup if you can find it. Very cool looking and can flow a ton of fuel. Used in the late 60's and early 70's on road racing small blocks quite a bit.

WOW! Those are cool. Wonder how they look in person, ever scene one? I could see those sticking out of hood but could see much in front of me.

Oh yeah, Webers and Dellortos are cool. If only I felt like spending that kind of money on an intake system.

Re: I am looking for something really odd (verskel)
That would be just plain cool under the hood of anything. the inglese posted above advertises that it will fit under the hood where alot of 4 barrells wont. And they come with filters. Good deal. I can't afford it but its still cool. I will probably scavange motorcycle parts and fabricate my own, someday. It will be a interesting project someday.

Re: I am looking for something really odd (Guru_4_hire)
I saw a couple sets of similar injectors at Spring Carlisle this year. I didn't get a close look at the brand names, though. One really nice set was going for around $1600 I believe. They were powder coated purple :U , but still would look :cool: .
