Hi all

My name is Greg Pulse. I live in Kansas City and I'm slowly building my first rat rod. I'm trying to keep it looking as traditional as I can and am always out looking for misc parts. I handmade a scoop for the intake and am 1/2 finished with chopping up an old farmall tractor grille into a 30's looking grille shell. I've gota long way to go but I hope to ruin the first set of bias plys this summer.

Hi, Greg. Nice start. Welcome to our place .

Looking good! Id like to see some more pics on that scoop and maybe a little info on how you did it. I too have been tossing around the idea on building my own scoop. Oh yeah and welcome to RRR!!

Looks like you're on the right track Greg, Welcome to RRR.

Scoop

Thanks guys

International Rat-

The scoop is a chevy truck tailpipe extension split in half with sheetmetal in the middle from a hood. The top are welded on brakelines. Mounts to the carb with a section of a factory air cleaner. As you can see it still needs some lower sheetmetal.

welcome to the RRR! nice fab work on that scoop......[cl

noticed finned valce covers w/no breather holes-just curious on how you're planning on "venting" the crankcase.....

i drilled a hole in the back of my intake for a pcv valve, and used an old filler/breather tube from a stock 283 on mine (intake had a hole for the filler/breather already...i think yours does too)

Its killing me to make any holes in my valve covers but I only have to make one since I found the intake. I've got the oil fill tube so I guess I have to cut a hole in one of my covers for the pcv.
