Wildcat Challenge!

Yes, is it the deepest exhaust sound ever?

 

I tried pretty hard to figure out how to upload the sound bit but
Failed to figure. It is sounding great.

Sounds good Ted

 

Yep!

 

Booster Vacuum...new routing.
glimpse of the X Code dual quad intake.

 

Landed last week- still lots to do.

 

For some reason that one looks taller than others i have seen.......am i correct....will the air cleaner hit the hood ?

Peace WildBill

 

Taller and carbs apart (see gas line extension)- customized air cleaner
On order?

 

Got some air cleaners that look cool and fit under hood
.

 

I've got a great interior guy -Darrin Cutter - who is doing this up beautifully. Hinge covers are not quite there yet.

 

Next week the interior is going to be done - at least 95%

 

Nothing new to report but a view of the trim shop where the Wildcat is getting worked on.
1965 is back!

 

Looking Good Ted! That trim shop is much nicer than the ones I have been to.

 

What info can you give us about the AL X Code dual quad intake?
Is it just lighter than the cast iron intake or suppose to make more power?

 

In my dyno testing (401 with extrude hone heads, .475 /.475 lift cam) it made a little more HP than a port matched extrude honed single 4bbl.
On the engine it the car (425, smaller cam, no head work) I did not do any comparisons (on the dyno) with just an intake change.

 

I'm curious on how they got the Wildcat in the middle of the shop
Did they put the tires on rollers?

 

There is another garage door straight ahead of the Wildcat - just out of sight!

 

Ahh! That makes sense

 

I am thinking I will be picking it up all done tomorrow!
