That's part of the reason I dumped a 460 in mine, the cost of a 400hp yb ain't cheap!
You've done a very nice job and that engine sounds nasty! Too nasty to run the vacuum wipers?

When I bought  my ranchero, the seller had a y-block 2 x 4 manifold. He first tried to sell them together, then he sold them separately. Perhaps one of you guys bought that manifold? He was from Michigan, name was Kash.

What intake is on your car, Ricky, factory 2x4v or Edelbrock 257?  Can't really tell in the video.  Looks like a plate between the carbs and intake too?  Spacer or adapter for holleys?

Was wandering when someone was going to ask. It is a fenton that has been machined to the plate that is bolted to it and holleys.

Hey, I was just thinking, what size exhaust pipe are you using?  2.5"?  If so, how did you mate it to the stock exhaust manifolds?  I had considered running those cool fenderwell exit headers I bought, but yours sounds so good, and the exhaust is so much easier to run under the car..

I scour YouTube all the time looking for 57's. I can pipe it in right over the TV. Car looks and sounds great.
