Your head is full of gold, can't wait for the next one. I'm thinking of doing this to a 99 ford ranger I've been rebuilding. As of now I was just going to rebuild it as it was designed, but I may be swapping to carb if I find it to be feasible. Awesome Tony, I'm super excited about this

It's a beautiful thing I don't want

i have seen some throttle bodies incorporate small coolant channels to heat them, such as the ones in dohc opel cih engines from 90s. they also have multi point injection. and these were performance oriented engines mainly designed to compete in DTM racing , the street version of the engine incorporated the coolant in the throttle body

Does the intake manifold gasket material need to be considered here? The heat conductivity of the intake gasket will impact the amount heat transferred to the intake manifold. For example, stock air cooled VW engines have metal intake manifold gaskets as well as exhaust heat crossovers in order to heat the exposed long runners of the stock intake manifold. Would a copper intake manifold gasket be helpful to conduct more heat to the EFI manifold when converted to carburetor usage in your instance?

A Quadrajet would be PERFECT as an off-road, efficient carburetor for this. Except maybe adapting the spread bore manifold.

Friend of mine put a 350cfm holley on a dodge 3.9l v6

Just like the ford 300 6 inline had a really smart intake that was joined to the exhaust manifold to flash any raw fuel that fell to the bottom

8:32 Anyone ever put a HEATING ELEMENT on an Air Gap manifold of a daily driver/performance street engine with a switch??? NO, not an intake cross-over. Hmmmm, I might try that.😊

EMP proof a thing I don't there is an easier one than late 80s 454 tbi chevy it already has a qjet intake on it.

Been playing with engines my entire life. Never heard the EXACT info here on atomized and vaporized fuel. I DID know: cold fuel/warm engine makes more power.

Guys an idiot. He's the q'anon equivalent of car guys

Pffffff what a POS> Reminds me of some women you meet, look great, nice roundings, you think "jackpot" , till you start to dig deeper and she turns to be nothing of the sort.

Six-cylinder engines have always been gas guzzler you can’t get out of the teens with a six-cylinder

Im 37. My parents frobe their 1980 chevette until it died 14 years ago. I think it was the transmission?

Any ideas about a tbi 89 v6 , stock manifold with adapter plate from Khaos Motorsports? HEI dist and Qjet or Tquad. Those new ICMs keep failing.

The reason when one watches one of those motors with an acrylic head on it starts off with a blue flash followed by a smoky orange flame is because the vapor ignites first and then the droplets catch up as the heat from the combustion gets soaked up into them. A fully dry vapor flame would potentially be bright blue [depending on the AFR] or it might be a dull red flash, but either way, it would all burn very fast. I've diddled with dry fuel mixtures before, and while it can burn really fast, it can also detonate a lot more easily. This is why more of the high performance fuels have a lot more alcohol in them to resist that detonation.

I genuinely think you should get that motor that's for sale, Uncle Tony! Who better to put her together than you? When it comes to this stuff, you're the best there is to learn from!

Would be b***** if somebody could convert AV8 Mercedes to Ignition timing and a homemade intake manifold.

People collect all kinds of things. Some person needed to complete their collection or put it in a museum. It’s not the start of some crazy movement. The simple answer usually is the right answer. Now $33k is not alot of money. There are many different types of people and different tastes. Also, The closer an object is in time to when an adult saw it for sale when it was new, the less money people are willing to pay for it in the future. Basic Psychology. That’s why people will pay huge money for a car from their childhood while their parents would not pay any money for the same car. I have seen weirder cars sell for more. Very simple answer.

Update on Casper the Cuda?

Electric heat blanket or silicone hot wire as used in freezer defrosting?

there is NO five minute job, ever, no matter what it is 🇦🇺

Great stuff, Tony! I never even thought about this, since when I get into these kinds of projects I go at warp-speed and want to GET IT DONE, and don't consider anything else outside of the task at hand. Never even thought about an intake manifolds part in fuel atomization! I've converted a 2000 GMC Jimmy 4.3 V6 engine to carburetor with great success in the past. Used a pressure regulator and kept a TBI pump in the tank, and converted the ignition to HEI. That engine was never so trouble-free and fun to drive! Only lost 0.5 MPG, but gained TONS of throttle response and top-end power! Thing was an absolute blast! Pulled just as hard as my 5,800 lb. Silverado with 330HP / 360Ft. lbs. (at the crank). Started up INSTANTLY - like a 20° rotation of the crank and she lit off! Loved it, but it was a winter vehicle, so the '89 S10 Blazer that engine was in rusted away to nothing. This summer I'll be converting my 31 year old Volvo 940. It has developed an infuriating hard-start situation that requires 1/2 - full throttle to start, then I have to hold it at about 2k for 30 seconds before the other 3 cylinders light off. Whole ignition is new minus the coil, fuel filter good, new temperature sensor (for the ECU not the gauge), air filter clean, 2 cans of BG44K run through 2 tanks, throttle body cleaned, and zero vacuum leaks. Holding the throttle open when starting indicates rich - I had suspected a leaky injector ... but the problem disappears in warmer temps! Go figure! Once past the 30 second mark after cranking, it runs mint - pulls nice, idles a little high when warm, but can't be a mechanical issue with that performance (as much as can be had at 114 HP lol!!). It's a stumper!! It'll be fixed this summer with an intake manifold (These Volvo B230 redblocks are very similar to a Slant 6 in design) and a Weber 36/32 manual choke carburetor. I need this car to get me to work during winter road salt months, so I'm done troubleshooting! It's getting a carb! 😂

Just make it steam powered that way you just need coal and water. Don't need's point's, batteries etc

88 ram 50 2.6 carb. it. But cant get it to go up a hill without jerking n loss of power....help.UT

Dollar tree the oven cleaner at 1.25 a can but works better when you help it clean the first cleaning then repeat it rince off with hot water

I wonder if the Australian Valiant six manifold fits those Jeep engines?

Very nice... So, what do you do when there is no distributor on your engine. Can you de evolve a more modern engine without using the original ECU?

Nice shout out from Frizee fabs the flip side about this channel and this post.

A portable Sunfire radiant heater would make your shop comfortable in the winter! Only $2500.00 and a little diesel fuel!😃

Great idea love the channel!

I almost went EFI but instead I stayed with the cool stuff and I went with a HP Holly six pack, thanks Tony.

Not necessarily true about fuel being hotter leaving an injector, Tony. If you think back to air conditioning systems, going through an orifice drops temperature

My local high school just purged the library of 'outdated' books on electronics, auto repair and the like. It filled a whole dumpster. They don't want people to have the knowledge to be independent!

OMG ! , you didn't change the oil ? lololol

DCOE x 3…you know it makes sense.

TONY YOUR RIGHT ALL THE WAY...THIS CAR IS NNOOTT THE GOAST........so so FUNNY!!!

I have an AMC 258 with a single plane Offy intake. It has water based heat in the carb area,and I could see that being fairly easy to do something sort of similar with (wrap some copper tubing around the area and connect coolant.) I will also say that this engine having a split port head heats its runners with the manifold too. Just a few other things to consider: 1-I had to put a 4 hole spacer on the carb I'm using otherwise its cylinders weren't distributed well and the secondaries were way lean. I'd give consideration to needing it as well. 2-I had to significantly alter the secondaries to get them rich enough on the Edelbrock carb I used. Still pending testing due to road salt but I'm at .104 right now on a 1403. 3-I don't think the single plane offy is really altogether different than say a 4.0L EFI intake. Maybe a bit of fabrication to put a 4bbl carb on. 4-Don't discount digging a 258 AMC intake up and just doing some work to fit it. Supposedly they're pretty easy to retrofit on to a 4.0L.

They make a bolt on ! No need to fabricate one!

The car computers fail. Electric PS racks go bad. Bad transmission. Suspension rubber cracking and tearing after 3 or 4 years...just crap.

Very Smart Man Truly Enjoy Watchin

Today's cars are trash. The old good one's will keep going.

People always forget that an exhaust crossover doesn't really do much without a working manifold heat control valve. (almost always incorrectly called a "heat riser") It's that flapper in one exhaust manifold, that you'd wire open, or eliminate altogether with headers. Even if it's still there, it's rusted away or stuck by now, or the crossover is blocked with the hardest substance know to man, diamonds got nothing on that stuff. Be fun to find an electric pad to put where the "hot spot" goes, be a fun experiment. Especially here where sub zero is pretty normal.

Tony is the exact replica of 80's car magasine, we are blessed by your presence on youtube and i hope we can listen to you for at least 25 more years!! The most interesting man of the car world!!!

My son parked it to get a new Pinto. A 71 GTX black n black auto. Gas OPEC. Too young no money. Look ahead. Good words.

What about a turbo with a blow-through carb? Would that give you vaporization at low rpm and shortly after a cold start?

ive been able to follow all your other videos, you just used the 2 same terms for 10 minutes and now im all turned around lol

EFI swap to carburetor?I love it.LS swap to sbc 😜.Another great video ty.Long live the flathead screwdriver.

I enjoy videos and articles getting performance from straight sixes,and have since I was a teen. I was surprised you were converting the FI intake to carburetor, but logically, it would work as those OHV six bangers weren’t that much different from the previous, carburetored generation I had a fuel injected Volvo 164, B30 six cylinder engine, that had a long aluminum intake runner. As the original Bosch electronic port injection was mostly a pain in the a$$ on a college student budget, I wondered if a two barrel or four barrel would work on the car but linkage would have been a major mess. Earlier models were carbureted and it would have been much simpler to buy a 71-72 head with the twin carb setup instead. Anyway, I wasn’t overly in love with the car and found something else.

I'm devolving as fast as I can. I do like the disc breaks and hall effect distributor though.
