tri power 200 straight six

[.Patrick.]

this is the 200ci straight six that came in my 1966 mustang, while i had it out to rebuild it i decided to modify the intake (which is cast to the head). i didnt feel like paying $400 for the offy adapter, or dealing with the vacuum leaks. and i think mine looks better anyways.


test fitting the 1.5" exhaust tube, a 2" hole saw was the right size.

[.Patrick.]

heres some with the adapter.

this is the 1960-69 'hex' head adapter.

1970-83 'flat top' head. these adapters are easier to find, but offy stopped making these last year (i think).

[$hawn]

so the intake manifold is part of the head casting on that engine?

damn!

[302andSome]

wow, very cool

ive got all the carbs, still waiting on some jets and an emulsion tube. i think the company i bought them from gets them from italy so it takes some time.

its in the car, i had it running on the old original carb. it leaked and wouldnt run well without constant attention so i ditched it and im going to put the center weber on while i recurve the distributor and get the timing set up. once i get that tuned right ill work on getting the outboards on and jetted right.

the linkage has been the most difficult part, still not hard since i copied the offy linkage. http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff192/patrickL727/newpics063.jpg
