[DeTomaso] Odd intake manifold on 351C for sale in Rancho Cucamonga, CA

Thu Jul 20 13:23:21 EDT 2023

Doh!  I hate it when that happens.  

I guess that I had visions of Louis Schauldt's Pantera.  Louis installed a NOX system on an otherwise stock Cleveland engine, mounted a couple of drag slicks to the rear wheels and went racing.  Louis and his Pantera got kicked off the drag strip after one run for turning a sub-12sec quarter-mile without the appropriate safety gear.  Sort of a mad scientist approach.

I do think that with minimal  effort the Weber intake's brake booster system could be converted to a kick-ass NOX setup though.  

Maybe I need to give Louis a call......

Dave

Dave,

Those fittings are for vacuum for the brake booster….
