Performance intake

[1958 delivery]

What does a 55 T Bird weigh? A lot smaller than a 61-65 Chevy a 409 came in. I think Ronnie built the motor and it worked pretty good?

Clyde was a real gentleman.

About 3200 lbs, 409 probably brought it up to 3300

Ryan I thought I had a couple of photos of Clyde's car I took June 2010. Nice person.

Well I took the old car out for some test run a this past Saturday. Turns out the drive shaft, yokes, and u-joints can't keep up lol.

Time for an upgrade. Hope nothing else got hurt.

It dented up the floor a little and busted the tailshaft off the transmission. Lucky me I have spare trans parts

I love it!!!!! Me thinks Clyde would be proud!!!!

I have a few trophies driveshafts from when he was in his racing days! I had to laugh when I had to walk down the road to get it

Theres a cd somewhere that has a bunch of pics on it from Great Bend that I got Clyde for letting me and my son stay at the bed and breakfast. Glad your out driving and taking care of it pretty sure Clyde never got on it that hard lol

That's great! I have one that is twisted in half but that was a stock makeshift shaft. He said it was from the car. This one was a little more heavy duty compared to that.

I agree with Jack Gibbs

Go with the Carl McQuillen 2x4 intake for the quality and price but the Performance is outstanding. The after market custom can go up to in price 3-4K depending who is the builder. McQuillen 2x4 at $1,595.00 is a bargin and horse power depending on the setup can make + 45-60 HP. I have one on my 1963 Chevy SS
