If this is Fuel Injection I'm going to ditch my TPI Ideas and go for this if I can afford it.

Who's it made by.

Bonus points for who ever can tell me where I got it from... (Not that hard)

I think those are like side draft carburetors, Weber or something. That's called a "velocity stack" on each one. Looks like a domestic engine from the valve covers, but those weirdo carbs are more of a european thing typically (Ferrari, etc).

I figured it was a velocity stack of some sort, Was hopeing it was fuel injections. I figured with my luck it was carburated though.

Could be, just like a throttle body injector, but I doubt it.

You say that like it's a bad thing...? Those things worked pretty good, the response of a port injection without the hassle of a computer, "the ease of tuning of a carb"
However the ease of tuning is multiplied by 8, so "ease" is kinda loosely used there...

I have become a fan of injection in the last few years. Thats pretty much why I was hopeing for that. Tuning 8 Carbs??? I'm not so sure I would want to do that.

I have a picture somewhere of a SBC with a fuel injected mainifold just like that, with 8 individual throttle bodies. It was at a car show last year. If I can find it, I'll post it up, googling I couldn't find anything.

What?!? Really? I didn't think they showed the engine on that. It just had a "dual high rise carburetor" or some stupid 16yr old girl speak

Air_Adam

Yup - right here. She called it a 'double pumper' but whatever... I could put up with that

I remember that scene, but I sure don't remember seeing anything under the hood. I would have remembered seeing something that oddball... Oh well, i'll check that when I get home.
Yea, she referred to it as a "high rise carburetor", which just made me shake my head... then again if she was checking under my hood i'd be doing a whole lot of head bobbing... hahahaha

1:15 mark of the video or there abouts. Its where I got the image from.

I couldn't find a single thing trying to search for it. So I gave up.

This thread took a pretty big direction change when I posted that pic didn't it?

Ya, I'll never find out what the setup on that engine is now. Everyone has their head in the clouds now.

It looks to be a Weber side draft setup, used on some Corvette race cars in the 1960's, I saw photos of the '63 Grand Sport corvette and it had 4 of these (each is a 2 barrel). Never seen them on a street car before, but definately on a Chevy! The linkage must be really hard to set up correctly.

That looks like a Mooneyes cross-ram intake.

Here is one converted to EFI.

The engine bay they showed in the movie was computer generated. I saw the actual car they were selling it on ebay and it had a normal carbed 350 in it.

daveSS1987

OK check out the following link... the Grand Sport Corvette engines were custom aluminum block 377's and the Weber side draft system (4-2bbls) look almost the same as this bumblebee engine except all natural metal, not any black or orange paint... copyrighted images so you'll have to go see it here...

You know there's usually more than just one car right? Could be a couple cars for beauty shots (where the fancy engine may have resided), couple more for interior shooting, more for driving and of course trashing. That car they were selling on ebay could have just been one of the regular driving cars.

No really? It was a 350, they all were. Read the following link:

Just a quote from the article: "

All the '76 Camaros portraying Bumblebee were fitted with GM Performance Parts "350 H.O." 330-horsepower small-block V8s. With a modest 9.1:1 compression ratio, this iron-block/iron-head engine supplied adequate power for the production. (Photo by Randy Lorentzen/Planet R)"

Another quote from the article:

"Stored alongside other Transformers vehicles at a race shop in Valencia, California, are the two beater Bumblebees that survived the production in running condition. The third was fitted with a prop engine for a scene. (Photo by Randy Lorentzen/Planet R)"
