Re: 305 V-6 with dual Strombergs
Cort, I was looking at your set-up and its overall hite issue...my first thought was 90* it over. Will the carbs work that way? Kinda like VW set-up or something along those lines. Im sure you have plenty of room side-to-side under that hood.

Re: 305 V-6 with dual Strombergs
I know, I know. I had to switch projects and get my Nova on the road for a daily driver and she has been taking up all my time with the "little" stuff. Also I have been overhauling two Caterpillar 3608's at work and they also have been taking up my time. I am going to redo the brakes tomorrow and then I have a car show on saturday. Hopefully I can get started on the carb set-up sunday, still looking for a hood close to me though.....

Re: 305 V-6 with dual Strombergs
OK, some new pics with the air filters. I hope to put the new set-up on tomorrow. This weekend I am going to look at a '62 GMC Suburban that still has the V-6 and GMC hood. If I buy it, I am going to use that hood to cut so I don't have to cut my original......

Re: 305 V-6 with dual Strombergs
Now I need your guys opinions....Should I cut to seperate holes for each air filter or should I cut one oval in the hood for both? I'm thinking about only 1" of the air filter will stick through the hood, which I think might look pretty sick...

Re: 305 V-6 with dual Strombergs
Find an old Ford super duty hood scoop. Pontiac used them on the early Lemans drag cars. They look good and won't show that you molested a stock hood! The scoops came on late 50's early 60's medium duty trucks. Like the picture included. I would think up in Oregon you would not want the air filters exposed to the weather.

Re: 305 V-6 with dual Strombergs
I'm liking the Furd scoop, too. It's too bad you have to cut your hood. I freakin love your truck.

Re: 305 V-6 with dual Strombergs
why don't you do a road trip this summer?
take the hood off your truck, come up to our car show at the end of july, and then we can run over to kelleys in arlee, he has about 10 of them....and you can drive it home! we are only 8-10 hours away.... PS: PM kdrodworks316.... he had one of those in good shape last year, he is an over the road trucker, he might be able to get it close to mid/eastern wa. for you..... |

Re: 305 V-6 with dual Strombergs
That sounds awesome, but I will be in Juneau at the end of July for work. Crap. Any other car shows up there this summer?

Re: 305 V-6 with dual Strombergs
There is a big one in polson.. cruisin by the bay or something like that, might be in august. there is a relativly fun one put on by the missoula downtown assoc. at the end of june.. 23/4th? friday night they shut down the downtown for cruising only for 2 hours.
most of them should be listed in that northwest cruisin' magazine, if you can find one. |

Re: 305 V-6 with dual Strombergs
FINALLY! Ok, I got the carb set-up on and running strong! This set-up is definitely what she needed to wake up.....Let me know what you guys think.

Re: 305 V-6 with dual Strombergs
It looks much better without the adapter and the scoop fits the hood perfectly. Gonna look awesome!
Not tryin' to jack your thread but... Should my 305E have a breather in the valve cover? Right now it has a filler cap but I see lots of pics of 305s with a breather in the VC and some with one in each VC.

The early 305's have two breathers in the valve covers because they still had the road draft crankcase ventilation tube. Later, when they came out with PCV, only one valve cover had a breather.

Re: 305 V-6 with dual Strombergs
looks great, too bad you are in kind of a rain belt, running without the hood might not be practical, it looks pretty cool with out it!
