Default Building up a 6 cylinder engine

I was looking for some information on how to overhaul an Autolite 1100 carb, and I ran across this article. You guys running the inline 6 might get some use out of it.

OK, now this might be fun!

Multiport EFI, aluminum head, and blown. Now that should be a good street driver at about 320 lbs/ft of torque and over 360HP at 7K rpms. All in a nice light weight package.

There are a multitude of directions you can go to hop up an inline six with most of the info availible on the various forums from as little as a Petronics ignitor, that plus a two barrel on an adapter to a Paxton. The below link, (if I did it correctly) is a picture of my not quite completed project to hop up my inline six. It's like me, old school. I'm using a temporary feed to the center carb while I am doing all the dry hookups to ensure that every thing fits and works before taking it to the machine shop to have the new head built and installed. Hope to have the new 264/274 112 degree cam, adjustable rockers and double chain timing gear selivered by next week so I can get all the work scheduled at the same time. I've already upgraded to the DS2 distributor and control module and built a vacuum distribution manifold to replace the pluging up of the SCV port on the Autolites

yup! weird. maybe it's just me, but i don't think that was a stang. [&:]



still waiting.

TWM Induction has built a prototype triple Throttle Body Injection (TBI) system to be installed on a new intake manifold being produced by FSPP to suit the new FSPP aluminum cylinder head. Details coming soon. 11-1-05
by Magnuson Products and FSPP

Magnuson has agreed to work with Ford Six Performance in developing a new intake manifold suited to the new FSPP aluminum cylinder head, which will support the installation of a Magna Charger M90 Blower. Details coming soon. 11-7-05
last update on the head itself:

UPDATE 11-8-05

I spoke to the engineer again today and the design work is finally completed. Again, he exceeded my
hopes and expectations by bring the exhaust flow up to 73% of the intakes. This is outstanding and far
exceeds our original aspirations.The design will work extremely well N/A or with boost, and is perfectly
suited to a roots style blower. With the high velocity ports, fast burn chambers, excellent quench, 11.5 CR capability, 100% fuel distribution, and increase flow, this thing is going to be awesome.
i understand this gentleman has a life of his own and another job, but why has there been NO update in roughly 7 months? it's about the time he was hoping to release the product and there is no info on weather or not it is or isn't avaiable. i am VERY interested in this product. if it can live up to the numbers it claims, i may be leaving my 200ci in my car, but i see no updates or any new info on these products in about 7 months and i get a little discouraged. is there another way to find out if things are avaiable?
