I found a couple videos that I haven't posted here also.

I'm planning on ordering one of these new week. It looks like it will help out a bunch when narrowing a rear end. I've got a Ford 9" that's 63" wide and going to narrow it down to 56" wide.

Here is...
Ok here's an update after having some time to drive it. The engine has never run so good. With the old stock intake on there it was all it would do to rev past 4000 rpms. It must be breathing really well because now it revs a lot faster and pulls right up to 6000 rpms. So far I will have to...
We got the intake on the truck and fired it up Wednesday night at about 11:00 pm. We got the throttle linkage hooked up to the center primary carburetor yesterday and took it for a test drive. It runs great with good throttle response. We have our local car show here tomorrow so we didn't get...
Ok, it's finished and ready to be bolted on. We are going to give it a shot today. We may only be able to get the center carburetor hooked up to test it. We have a local car show this weekend that we want to have it on for that. The four on the corners may just be bolted on. We will have to...
We made more progress tonight. You can see in the picture the slot on the front of the manifold for the pop off. We got the four outside carb plates lined up and tacked into place. A few more hours of grinding and welding and it should be done.

Bluenorther, that was pointed out to me on the Cadillac forum. We ended up welded up an oval tube and welded it to the bottom of the plenum to reduce the size. It still should have pretty good air flow.

We got a little more progress done this week. The runners are all welded in and the top is welded on along with the back of the plenum. We are working on making the pop off valve for the front of the plenum.
Keith
Thanks for the information BlueNorther. We had thought about that and that's why we tried to keep the runners at the bottom of the plenum. If it looks like it's going to be a problem we will build a pop off plate on the front of the plenum. That way if it back fires there is some place for it...
Here are a few more pictures from yesterday.
After taking a look at the carburetor stands last night we decided that we are going to shorten them at least an inch.

After reviewing some tips on multi carb intakes, I decided to run a large base Rochester for the center primary. It should work better for the Cadi 500 as the single primary. Here are some pictures from several days ago of our progress.

Norman and I have been considering building an intake manifold for my pickup for some time. The one the criteria is that it has to be something completely different but be fully functional. We started putting the plan into action this past week. Here are some pictures and thoughts as we have...
Last weekend I drove about 600 miles round trip to Reno for the Reno Rockabilly Riot car show. I had no problems with tire balance with the new centers. They worked out great and I got 17 miles to the gallon with the taller tires. I only had one person figure out what we had done with the...
