: bob it sounds good !!!! The one thing that I
: really like about the draw thru setup is the
: fact that you do not have to modify the fuel
: system and you do not have the carb problems
: once you get into higher boost. You can use
: a liquid to air intercooler if it is small
: and is mounted on the intake right above the
: carb flange with a small bonnet on top. I
: have been looking into doing this since I
: want about 15 lbs with the new motor.
: Can't wait for see some pics!!!
: keep it up!!!! THe boost that is!

: Bob the one thing that the slant six hass in
: this set up is the amount of room on the
: driver side for the exhaust, You would not
: have to go over top the of the intake
: completly. Just stay level with it. I am
: going to draw a pic and post it today. Tell
: me what you think!

: What do you think ?

: Interesting Andrew, and thanks for the
: suggestion. Is there a water-cooled
: intercooler available that would work in
: that location or would it have to be
: fabricated? Do you have an estimate of how
: much space would be needed above the
: existing intake, and also how thick the
: intercooler is by itself? I'm not familiar
: with water-cooled intercoolers. I assume
: that they use the engine coolant. Is that
: correct?
: It would seem like a good approach might be to
: build the intercooler right into the intake
: manifold plenum! Hey, maybe we have a new
: product for you here!
:
: Bob D

: I think it would have to be made and a trans
: cooler and a small pump to move the water.
: the space above the intake? I will have to
: take some measurments.

: What about using the Clifford water-heated
: intake and running cooling water through it?
