does anyone have a junk dual port engine i could have or borrow? i need to mock up/fabricate an intake manifold for my fuel injection project

12 feet of 2 inch aluminum for intake/turbo tubing

i had to grind some tabs off the injectors and hand sand the injector bodies to get them to fit came out nice

Coming along nicely. Keep at it !

very excited to see the outcome on this....!

got some AN#6 fittings and cut the step off the inside tried to cut off the fuel injector cups from the fuel rails i have and relocate them but that was a mess so time for plan B

Keep at it- the world is watching and learning.

heres plan B I had some high pressure fuel lines in my junk pile cut the ends off and brought them to work and drilled the threads out to 14mm the one on the left is the thin factory one way to thin for me to weld the new ones are beefy and here is a mock up of what im shooting for .im gonna ask a friend weld it up so it comes out nice

got my intake flanges roughed out now just need to sand them to the mark and find my e saw set

Keep at it, it's motivating seeing others making progress on their projects too.

had some time today so i made wooden intake flange so i could fine tune it better then cut and drilled one from the aluminum rough cuts came out nice 3 more to go

back n the garage pulled the gas tank drilled some holes for electric fuel pump going to sandwitch 2 pieces of aluminum with AN6 fittings for fuel pump return line and wires

my table of insperation or as my wife calls the shit table

Love the can of bud, prominently displayed in a few pics.

Can't wait to see the finished product!

yes Raj working on the bug always involves a bud

got my mid engine header today s744.photobucket.com gonna put the turbo in the backseat area

got some time on the bug tapped the gas tank to 1/4 pipe and plugged the hole for now made the bottom plate to sandwich the electric fuel pump onto the gas tank i just need to weld some aluminum bolts to the bottom plate and weld a support for the fuel pump

VERY nice! Very custom too!

so Santa was very nice this year got mostly everything to get it done

Looking forward it seeing it done!

back on the fuel tank today rusted on bad reseal so i did old school clean the tank with bbs and ball bearings. will wash with gas tomorrow and reseal

Nice..... I usually use an old chain. Keep up the good work!

ready for the change from carb to EFI

got busy today indexed the crank trigger wheel found this sticky tape measure at Hobby Lobby it help me find the center of the missing tooth drilled the holes tapped the threads counter sunkthe bolt holes will take it apart tomorrow hit it with some brake clean put locktite on the screws and move foward
