200 head/intake experiment

[Fastronald]

I have a buddy scrapping a Fox body car with a 200. I've seen and read many threads about milling the intake off and building a better system. I may give this a try and have some fun going faster.

My plan is to remove the log and leave the exhaust ports intact. I may try three long and thre short intake runners to try to balance a higher rpm range.

Hey Ronald, have you done it yet?

post pics if you can when you get this done. sounds like a very interesting idea. I , for one, would love to see this done.

it might be better to mill everything off even with the head, and make a port plate about 1/2" thick to mount a fabbed intake and exhaust header to. it would also eliminate the need for a port divider, and would likely result in better performance overall.

The reason I'm not milling it all off is to save the exhaust ports. I want them to remain stock location. Intake mainfold development is in progress.

Ok.......the turbo idea is off..................we're going to use an Eaton M - 90. The intake will allow a direct bolt on for it and use a nice holley carb.

[Fastronald]

well........................the engine went boom.

[lavron]

After the M-90 or before?

just thought about this but would the intake pretty much look like the 225 slant six mopar performance intake design?
What happened to make it go BOOM?
Please send pics.

Uh...........just a LITTLE too much boost.
