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.

Does the adapter only come in that hiegth? if not what about a machine shop. have them make you one shorter.

There is a member here who does CNC work, I think it's Mr. Beast, give him a PM if your looking at some custom work.

**Corts60** · 04-23-2009, 10:42 PM

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.....

4dranch · 04-24-2009, 06:50 AM

just checking..good luck Saturday

**Corts60** · 05-05-2009, 07:28 PM

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......

**Corts60** · 05-05-2009, 07:30 PM

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...

justcuz · 05-05-2009, 07:53 PM

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.

**Corts60** · 05-05-2009, 08:01 PM

Ooh, I like that. And period correct to boot! Maybe I might have to do a little hunting....

texanidiot25 · 05-05-2009, 10:27 PM

That would be slick. Just don't say it's ford.

dieselarmy13 · 05-05-2009, 10:48 PM

I'm liking the Furd scoop, too. It's too bad you have to cut your hood. I freakin love your truck.

texanidiot25 · 05-06-2009, 12:08 AM

It's all sheet metal, nothing that can't be fixed.

CUT IT UP!

jonzcustomshop · 05-06-2009, 06:37 PM

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.....

**Corts60** · 05-06-2009, 08:37 PM

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?

jonzcustomshop · 05-07-2009, 07:07 AM

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.

**Corts60** · 05-10-2009, 07:52 PM

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.

http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/e...C/SDC15263.jpg

The best part is everything was bolt-on so I didn't have to cut or ruin any original equipment!

protrash64 · 05-10-2009, 08:29 PM

Nice!!!!!!!!! Now you need a vintage boat to pull with it. Have you put many miles on it yet?

Nope, just about 2 miles for a test run. I am worried about the Sherriff's hassling me for not having a hood on. But it seems that Chief Rocka gets around fine....

She runs so good it tickles me! And those Strombergs sound fantastic when they are both open and screaming!

dieselarmy13 · 05-10-2009, 09:26 PM

Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

creep · 08-13-2009, 11:40 AM

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.

justcuz · 08-13-2009, 01:47 PM

That beauty is gonna look sweet on there! Period perfect to boot!
That trailer would look cool with the aluminum all polished!

That trailer has a lot of polishing to go.....The more I tear into, the more I think, "damn it Cort, finish one project first!"

Not at all....

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.

texanidiot25 · 05-10-2009, 09:52 PM

Badass! I'd skip the hood and just run it with out, it looks killer

jonzcustomshop · 05-10-2009, 10:01 PM

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!
