I'm just an old fool, so I was there too till you spilled the beans!

**TJ's Chevy** · 05-14-2016, 02:56 PM

haha! Thanks guys! Well I drove the truck today and the paint is still there so I guess we're ok! lol!

Ta2Don · 05-15-2016, 04:29 PM

Gimmee a call later today if you can, trying to solve a mystery on my stepper and need a measurement off your GMC

**TJ's Chevy** · 05-16-2016, 09:21 PM

Hey guys!!! Well there's been a change of plans. I was going to modify a 305 intake for a 4 barrel, but decided to be lazy and find a Magnum manifold. These require no welding and are Much easier to open up. Enclosed are some pictures...305 manifold on the left and 351M or larger manifold on the right. Notice the difference in port size between the 305 intake and the magnum intake. lol Getting excited!

Ta2Don · 05-16-2016, 09:48 PM

Very cool Brotha!!!

...and that 572...the sound...

David E · 05-16-2016, 10:51 PM

Lookin' good TJ! Love the truck.

I was searching through YouTube yesterday when I stumbled on to your page. I actually didn't know it was you at first, but I recognized the profile pic.

That 572 needs to go in Crustine... lol

**Palf70Step** · 05-17-2016, 04:52 AM

Cool idea TJ

Started doing some mods!

Ground down the flange and them purchased a block of aluminum. Buddy of mine has a mill so we'll be milling out the manifold and the block. Super excited! Later guys!

**TJ's Chevy** · 05-22-2016, 11:21 AM

Well Saturday after work was very eventful.

Took the manifold and plate to a buddies house and we milled it all out to almost perfection.

Pictures show the milled manifold, adapter, and the carb's new resting place.

Super excited!!!

**TJ's Chevy** · 05-22-2016, 11:26 AM

And here is a comparison of the 3 manifolds.

Stock, 4 down to 2 adapter, and the true manifold.

Surprised at how clean the plugs were to. All that fuel and limited air and burning nice an clean with stock points and a hot coil. lol! Really hoping the extra air will help. It should. Later guys! More updates to come!

rusty76 · 05-22-2016, 12:36 PM

Cool

rusty76 · 05-22-2016, 12:39 PM

Can you explain to me what a magnum intake is? What it came off of and so on. Pretty cool intake.

Pretty cool intake.,A magnum intake has the larger ports and used the large base two barrel whereas the non-magnum had baffles and a small base two barrel. Magnum intakes would have been on Magnum engines...351M, 401, 478 and others.

so,let me see if i understand, when you got the truck it already had the magnum
engine swaped in for the orginal 305 E, then you had the intake milled down for the adatper plate so a 4 bbl could be fitted.??

Johnny_Lamebridge · 05-24-2016, 10:07 AM

Excellent Intake mods! TJ, you'll be the forum's V6 guru in no time at all.

Nope, The engine had the original 305E swapped for a later model 305E. I bought the magnum intake off of a guy with a 351E and modified it and put it on my 305E.

Ta2Don · 05-22-2016, 01:03 PM

Awesome job Brotha!!!

62stepside longbox · 05-22-2016, 01:34 PM

The 351M was available in 2500's and up I believe. Then the larger engines like the 401 and 478 would be available in the 4500 and up. Here's a link to the 6066 GMC site...Lot's of info there!
