M/T Power Ram on 409 stroker

[chevytaylor]

Hi Guys

Thought you fellow W motor fans might be interested. The original plan was to wait for my new set of BWR heads before running the M/T manifold, but I just couldn't help my self. :rolleyes:

Jim,

Isn't that about all that are out there? :rofl :dunno

The crossram is very scarce but think how scarce a RH drive bubbletop is? :dunno

Make that 4 & i know somebody that has # 5 that is not a member. :clap

Thanks guys.

Our nostalgia drags are just around the corner on Dec 2 and I plan to run at the event. Before then I'm hoping to get a test and tune in at one of our Wednesday night street meets. :brow

The dash is made out of composite, fibreglass. We took a mould off the Dan Gurney dash which was coverted to right hand drive here in Australia late in 1961.
I don't have any pix of my dash but I will gladly forward some soon.
The finish on the M/T manifold is as I purchased it. All I did was a quick going over with a hand polish.
I'm honored Jim to be part of such an exclusive club. :cheers

I thought I might be looking in a mirror (that RH drive got me!) :)

Very nice job on a very special vehicle. Can't wait to hear how it runs down the quarter mile!

Good luck!

Hi Guys

Had to modify an old beat up hood we had laying around to acheive adequate air delivery volume. :grumble: My mint hood has been safely mothballed.

Hopfully the cowl induction will work well as I havn't had a chance for a test and tune yet. :rolleyes:

Included are a couple of shots of the dash for Rusty Everitt. :cheers

A quick ? with the right side drive is the shift pattern reversed or is it the
same as the us pattern. :dunno

The M/T cross ram was an ebay purchase a couple of years back.

Huh, I sold mine on eBay a few years ago. Coincidence? You be the judge
