Thanks Terry! Stay tuned for part 2 once I finish up the long block for MIXED UP BOSS I can mock the ram up and get the proper port alignment then finish up this video! Andy
Looking good so far. I'm glad to see that you found some kind of off the shelf manifold that can meet your goals for power, a sheet metal piece would be astronomically priced and is un necessary at you power levels. I've watched them Kauffman Pontiac boys up here in my neck of the woods build one of them sheet metal tunnel rams, they take lots of time and lots of welding but that's expected on 1500 hp plus big cube engine. Keep up the good work !
Doctor, you are right... While the sheetmetal intake would probably be best, I wanted to keep the old school look and decided that I could make the manifold perform so, even though it takes a TON of time it will be worth it in the end... Thanks for watching, Andy
Jon I'm using the epoxy to do two things.. port match from the Cleveland 4v port to the Large Windsor port that the Hammerhead Performance Engines head used.. the radius is different in the corners and so I can create a proper taper in the runner to increase the port velocity into the intake port.. this will help fill the cylinder and make more torque and power across the board! Andy
I'm trying to get the largest cross section I can in the upper portion then use the epoxy on the lower portion to blend the taper and a proper port match.. it's got to feed all 750 of those horses! Andy
You know Tom, I have a new Hi-Ram for the 351w and the Cross Sectional area is MUCH larger than compared to this old Cleveland Ram... It has similar area compared to the new 8.2 deck Hi-Ram that I used on my 600hp 393w.. I want to use all of the 385cfm head flow that I have with these heads at .675" lift!
Might that casting boss in the intake, be a provision for installing a 1/2" fitting for a power brake booster vacuum hose? Most Cleveland engine Fords came with power brakes in that era.
Good stuff bro..but..where is them safety glasses? Reason I say that.. I was cutting some metal and had to go get my eyeball drilled and polished the metal out of it. I can still see perfect, but like looking at the blue sky or solid light object, like a wall, I see dirty spots like on a camera lens. That's the damage to my eye I got lucky!
Looking very good. I can't wait to see that thing after you hit those runners with a cartridge roll. Are you going to use the epoxy without even consulting Brian cabral? The way he talks on his channel he is certainly way smarter than you or even Mr Vizard. I'm pretty sure he tutored Dale Armstrong (rip) and austin coil back in the day.
You will be seeing it soon... Once the Longblock is together I finally finish up the part 2 on the tunnel ram video... I need the longblock together so I can get a perfect port match... Andy
@@UnityMotorSportsGarage awesome, looking forward to it! I have some crazy car build ideas that I'd love to do, but paying someone else to do some of the porting is driving the costs through the roof! I'd like to pull a Rob Dahm, "I don't know how to do that, time to learn how!"
Sad that that intake needs so much work before it can be used. I can’t help but to wonder what the manufacturer was thinking with the reverse taper runners.
A reverse taper like that, as long as the cross section increases from top to bottom, will increase air pressure into the combustion chamber. It does decrease air speed, though. Think of the bottom half of a carburetor venturi. Low air pressure at the top (throat of the venturi), more pressure at the bottom.
@@needmetal3221 still horsepower that they were leaving on the table. Not sure if the molds were old or what. It's a place where 3d printing can really shine.

Looks great Andy. Good video my friend
Thanks it's getting there...
Andy
Very cool port matching
Thanks... All in the name of making Power!
Andy
Awesome vid Andy !! Great info. 👍 Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
Andy
Thanks for your knowledge on this tunnel ram i noticed the tunnel rams with a d shaped runner makes the most torque. Keep up the good work
Thanks Terry! Stay tuned for part 2 once I finish up the long block for MIXED UP BOSS I can mock the ram up and get the proper port alignment then finish up this video!
Andy
Been waiting for soooo long for a new vid!!!!!
Mark, I know me too.. I've had alot going on these last few weeks!
Andy
@@UnityMotorSportsGarage How’s the mixed up boss comin?
Yay!! Been waiting for more mixed up Boss!
There's more on the way... Thanks for Watching Mark!
Andy
Man.. this thing is gonna be badass
Ary, I sure hope so! I'm giving it my best... LOL
Andy
Coolness
Having the gaskets that fit between the top chamber and bottom runners of the manifold where they join during blending works much better.
I liked high speed steel for aluminum work. I kept some that were on the dull side because they wouldn't bite in hard. Porting is addictive
It really is.... It's nice seeing the gains on the flow bench.. then to see it on the Dyno... Then to see the win light! That is what counts..
Andy
Always great work and even better explanations of how and why.
Thanks for the kind words... And watching!
Andy
Nice work, good info!!!
Thanks Iron Horse!
Andy
Hell yeah! You definitely did a number on that intake. It looks awesome 🤘🏼
Thanks... It could use more grinding in the runners but I hate to say I didn't want to kill the look on the outside by welding on it! Lol
Andy
We hope to see you on that live this Saturday, Hayden.

Thanks Mark, Im a Mopar man at heart.... The basics apply to all engines though... Thanks for watching,

@@UnityMotorSportsGarage yep, glidden was the Cleveland guru but he sure worked wonders on that little Mopar in his Plymouth arrow.
Thanks for sharing mate, going to give those divots a try.
So far so good, Pretty str8 forward stuff but I'm NOT sure exactly why epoxy is needed Just yet, So I'll be waiting on Part2. Good job brother!

Love it
Thanks Sammy! Alot of work... At least I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!
Andy
@@UnityMotorSportsGarage lol
Great intro. 👍
Thank you Sir!
Andy
Ive epoxied then port. Doing it that way straightened out the port as i went.
I'm trying to get the largest cross section I can in the upper portion then use the epoxy on the lower portion to blend the taper and a proper port match.. it's got to feed all 750 of those horses!

@@UnityMotorSportsGarage you will have plenty for 750.

So does the dimples from drilling help on the floor of a single plane too? Like a super victor?

Oh I had my glasses on trust me! I learned my lesson LONG ago on that...
Andy
@@UnityMotorSportsGarage I just figured I share with ya what can happen. 👊☕
@@19jody72 It only takes onetime to learn a lesson if you are lucky...BAD things can happen

People will probably flip out about the epoxy in the runners...LOL
Andy
Had to do the same to mine ...30 years Ago....🤔
The Castings are pretty bad... But they work well when cleaned up!
Andy
Hey, Andy? Where's part 2, where you epoxy the runners?

Welding the outside wouldn’t have looked bad at all, in my opinion. I like the look of this intake better than the Holley you were running, too.
That is why I choose it... Pure old school!
Where is part 2 . ?? I've looked but can't find it .
Looking good. Where do you get your carbide bits?
I get all of my porting supplies from Goodson.com Thanks! Its getting there...

Thank you.

Sad that that intake needs so much work before it can be used. I can’t help but to wonder what the manufacturer was thinking with the reverse taper runners.
It's hard to tell what they were thinking 50 years ago... But I do know that after they are worked over they make great power!

Mismatches that far from the valve job dont hurt that much. Hes just optimizing it.
@@needmetal3221 still horsepower that they were leaving on the table. Not sure if the molds were old or what.
It's a place where 3d printing can really shine.
I’ve seen some that were a lot worse!
I asked on David's channel and no response. Do you all offer the plate for sale that goes under the top plenum on holley stealth ram efi intake?
The one he makes and said it was worth 20hp
Where is the video for part 2 where you epoxy the ports?
Would that dimpling. On
