I was going through some old files and guess what I found. Should have looked there first! I have a new question for the group. The size and shape of the plenum chamber.

Originally I was going to manufacture one, box shape and only 2 1/2" wide 3 1/2" high 8" long. Really didn't think it would be big enough but made for a neat installation. Now im considering extending the inlet runners completely over the engine and mount a tubular plenum approx 4" dia 10" long. my manifold is very similar to one that I saw on this site, I think it was mounted on an RV4 running duel throttle bodies. Mine is a turbo so needs to be slightly different. Wish I could post a pic but my picture album program wont compress them enough to post! ( maybe operator error) . I have a few shots of the oil injection pump that ill be running that I tried to post as well, its a modified electric version, with remote oil adaptor that I got from Tracy.The pump is fully adjustable for what ever oil flow you want.( no linkages and very simple). Just got my confirmation from vans, QB 7 is on its way. now only if Fred can supply the mount,( been on order for ages). Cant wait to hang the engine. cheers Mick. --NextPart_Webmail_9m3u9jl4l_29025_1091842449_0 Content-Type: text/html Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Hi All

     Thanks for the info on the water pump gallery. I was going through some old files and guess what I found. Should have looked there first! I have a new question for the group.
