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.


$1.88 for the pipe


cleaning it up for welding.


back from machine shop.

















got the flanges off ebay for $17.








epoxy putty to make it smooth.






finished.

let me know what you think.

 

i wanted to see what it was going to look like.


its going to have 3 weber 1v carbs.




thanks for helping me with this Joe.

 

rep'd ya for being different and for originallity (sp). looks great !!!!!

 

^^ +1

Very nice! Is that fairly common for those that don't want the addapter?

Repped!

 

wow thats pretty cool goodluck

 

thanks

ive never seen one without the adapter, i looked because i wanted some ideas but i couldnt find any that were done without it.

 

i looked again and i found one.


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).

 

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

damn!

 

wow, very cool

 

yep, i thought it was weird when i first saw it.
