Louie Ott.. Now there is a name I have not heard for a long time! He still around?

To echo Hilton, it's great to see this evolve..

Have you looked at Louie’s car now that it is in your backyard more or less?

I am sure you have taken this into account but as I remember from yrs ago the air box for best throttle response needs to be at least 1.6 times as big as the engine in liter. ie 6.5 liter engine should be at least 10.4 liters volume . And for some reason my air temp was recording 80 degree centigrade when it was in the bottom of the airbox and had to be repositioned for more accurate air temps.

Sterling--

Nice work, but my stomach twists a bit every time I see those open intake ports and then the throttle butterflies. Handballs in red are my weapon of choice, else blue tape over the openings. Astro-fizzy-sists will be able to describe for you the funnels of extra-gravity forces that sit directly above each opening, but manage to flare to seemingly impossible horizontal dimensions almost immediately above the openings. Maybe the extra-gravity is pulling the funnel shape down. I've witnessed the effects but can't accurately define the causes.

Mounting plates under the throttle bodies are taped off with blue tape. Throttle bodies and all will go through disassembly and cleaning before final assembly.
