New intake for my 440

Marcella intake. That guy sure does good work.

Still have a ways to go before it'll be on the road, but should be pretty exciting, and will at least look good sittin' still.

I don't know enough to make that guess... 440, about 10.5:1 w/ L92's, 102mm TB and a Torquer V2 cam and T56. Cam is on the mild side for this motor, but I didn't want to start with anything too radical. Just want it to be fun.

I was going to have John make a manifold for my 454, but decided to go a different route at the last minute due to budget....but honestly, a ported/painted fast with a TB and rails isn't THAT much less costly than what he quoted me...

That's one badass looking setup you've got going there, keep up the good work

Holy shit...thats a nice intake. Work of art.

Man thats a SUPER small cam for this motor. Step it up a bit!!

Kingsize · 11-09-2009, 09:35 PM

That intake will be absolutely useless with that cam. Give Patrick G a call and have him spec you out a custom grind to work with your combination. Bad ass setup bro... Keep up the good work!

I had the cam before I bought the LSX block, and had the motor assembled and in the car before I decided to buy the intake. Long term projects are a real pain to keep all the parts on track.

It's been 7 years, going on 8 for the car itself... I'm driving this thing before I break it open again...

In the big picture of things, it should do pretty good as is, a more aggressive cam would certainly do better.

John does some amazing work. His pieces are more automotive art that are functional than anything else.

BAH! looks like a poor copy of the Edelbrock Pro Flo manifold!

L O L

that thing is SO cool looking its unreal. Fuck the cam rignt now, just drive it and pop the hood! That thing is beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man, lightweight valvetrain, the "right" cam, and that thing will scream till a bazillion rpm from the way that manifold looks!
