looks like that would be quite a torker type manifold with those long narrow runners...he could have put a little more effort into making that a better looking and probably better working manifold had he removed the top plate completely, put a dividier (if it doesn't have one, do they? b/w left/right banks?) and welded back on a decent top plate with a more centrally placed carb plate.

That's redneck/mullet engineering at it's finest though :thumbsup

I wanna know if/how that thing actually worked on the guys truck. :eek:

Guess he got a TPI motor and didn't like the new fangled EFI and was too cheap to get an actual carbed intake...yikes!

Don't mix :party: with modifying!

Maybe this is one of those "power secrets" that crossed over from the imports to the V8's? I mean those guys are always trying new ways to find power right?:durr

Wouldn't puddles of fuel just sit at the bottom of the plenum?

You would think that it would look like a lake in there with that nice soft turn into the runners:nutkick
