i found one crazy looking intake, just wondering if anyone's had any experience with it

that is sweet.

 

That looks like an old mechanical fuel injection intake manifold. I've never seen one for a 60 degree V6 before. You can take those things and make really great Electronic Fuel Injection systems out of them, of course with a lot of fabrication and tuning.

Converting an old mechanical fuel injection setup over to EFI was really the in-thing for hot rodders and nostalgia types a few years ago. It may still be.

 

that is infact an old ,mechanical injection setup.

once ina blue moon one pops up on ebay

 

well supposedly this is one of 6 ever made full blown racing intakes for the 2.8/3.1 v6. the guy's asking $800 for it

 

while it is a nice piece and by far the best u could could get. its not worth it unless ur prepared to do the following to get the most out of it

#1 switch to a mechanical cam something in the 272 range
#2 convert the intake to efi ( not hard )
#3 build the motor to be able to turn 7-8K on a reg basis
#4 raise compression to atleast 10-1

the nice thing about mechanical injection is u could run methanol or e85 with just a few jet changes,
its very easy to tune but not meant for a street car

to convert it to efi would require pretty much removing the mechanical injector nozzles and having the holes drilled for fuel injectors and having fuel rials made

 

well #3 and #4 on your list are going to happen. i want this engine to be one of those rare N/A sixxers that make a good amount of power. the car is my auto-x/track/dd car (though it won't be my dd for long), so it sees quite a bit of high rpm.

 

Looks like a Hilborn system that you used to see in the 60's/70's... get some chrome Hilborn 'trumpets' to go on it and it will look totally trick!

 

Can't be that old if it fits a 60* V6

 

I would check isn't that intake for the gen ll aluminum heads ?

 

good eyes man dinotice that


heres what that setup would look like all together on a motor
