Not sure Indiana, however, i'm sure there are some ideas/conversions or fitments done out there that's gone unnoticed.IndianaJones wrote:Thanks for sharing that MS.
Has anyone ever fitted Tothat's 20V ITB's to that intake manifold?
I grew up around V6 engines mainly and have seen quite a bit mods with this and that and by this one and that one.
For example: the guy that taught me how to tune the triple carbs was a techie at the SABC.
The guy knew nothing about building a motor but new his way around tuning carbs.
He in turn was taught by Mike Clifton way back when.
I myself am a car nutter but not a mehanic,engine builder, engineer by trade or on paper but I have the
experience.
But I can tell you this. I spent lots of cash in the right places on my last V6. Thing was not even a stroker but ran rings around stroker V6 motors.
Eventually ended up in JHb in a tow truck.
Thing pulled like a mother for years. The day he broke a cam and took it to have same cut it up there he was told the cam was a dud and would never work in a V6. It was in ther for 6 years!
Eventually I had one cut done here and sent it up. Installed and life went on as before.
After a while someone took the motor apart for a rebuild and said it was anything special.
Obviously this guy new nothing. We carted the motor back to CT and rebuilt it here a little bit better.
This thing is now running strong in his sierra.
Moral of the story. Known guys with proper worshops condemn private guys work or call it scrap and you have to buy their stuff.
I make due with what the guy has and tell him what he can do based on his budgets.
