Default If you only like Em stock don't look at this

My new intake system. All I need now is the fuel line, but I'm running out of time. Probably won't get it on before I go south for the winter.



P.S. She said "get that off my counter"

If you don't put on the fuel line before you go south for the winter, you shouldn't need any pit stops unless you gotta pee!

Vic,
I'd love to do that but the wife wants her car down there. I'll be driving a 40' Motorhome with a trailer (her car and my motorcycle). Where is the "Barner's Bash" and exactly when? I'll be there till the first of April.

Gene, we are holding the 2014 Florida "Barner's Bash" in and around the Tampa Bay area this time, the dates are Friday, February 28th to Sunday, March 2nd. I'm posting info on the event here on the FordBarn in a post started by Bill Wzorek. Send me a PM and I'll give you my cell phone #. If you are able to make it, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Vic

The benefits of being poor allows me to work on my car all year long. I don't get interrupted by those boring Florida trips

It is stock...

A stock polished slingshot with two stock Strombergs.

What's the problem? Looks perfectly OK to me

Nice rig. I don't think I could fit one under the hood and the wife says no hoodless cars I got a good deal on an Edelbrock Super Dual, so it will have to do, but I like yours better.

Back in Jan. Hot Rod Mag did a flathead intake shootout and the Slingshot was the best 2X2 set up.
