A little way off yet but I've been chatting to a guy who will be supplying the parts and info when it comes to building-up the Cadillac's new motor.
He's answered all my questions thus far but there's one thing he can't do and that's provide an intake manifold I want to use.
When it comes to B.B.Cads' there's basically three . . . Edelbrock dual plane and a choice of two single planes . . all of which are 1 x 4BBL.
I've always wanted a multi-carb set-up (don't ask why) but understand that setting all those up is gonna be a PITA . . . . So I've allowed myself to potentially use FI.
Specifically I want to use 8 x Single injectors hidden in period-style Throttle bodies (as posted in a thread a while back).
My problem is there's no such manifold available, or ever likely to be available.
That doesn't stop me thinking though.
The design below is a simplistic representation of what I have in mind . . . . One injector/T.B directly feeding one cylinder . . . An ECU controls everything so it should (I'm guessing) iron-out any anomalies between cylinders.
Lugs on the front of each stack is for sensors / future NO2 provision.
Stacks, due to their simplistic design could easily be modified with extensions to achieve the ideal length.
Questions are :
Main issue I see here is complete lack of vacuum - How's best to get it ?
Secondly, this is not my forte so what else am I missing ?
This is how another guy achieved a similar set-up starting from
1 dual-quad adapter, adding
2x 1x4BBL-to-2x2BBL, then adding
4x 2BBL-to-2x2BBL "Y" splitters !!
Unfortunately a dual-quad isn't available for my required application.
