$375 is crazy! I would rather fab one myself and get what i want. Don, I would like to gain more top end h.p...as everyone knows these flatheads have plenty of torque but are short on h.p. This may be the best of both worlds, torque off the line and a gain in h.p as the speed increases. I don't think i will get better gas milage, with the dual b& b's i think i would get worse gas milage because an increase in air means there needs to be an increase in gas. I know when i ran mine with a single b&b and hooked up the air intake i got a noticeable increase in h.p. after 40mph. I hope the same happens now but with more top end h.p.

I was thiniking on the same line as you Tcows. Thanks for all the info guys. I'll post some pics when complete.

You came to the forum looking for info and you have given us more than you can ever know. I'm going to look for a hammer to fab some of my own work now. Thank you again and I look forward to seeing more pics of your restoration.

Al this is kinda what I had in mind. Pretty cool. Looks like you used polished galvanized exhaust pipe. I want to do the same thing but don't know wether to have both pipes directly after the filter or use a large pipe and funnel down to a smaller one as it gets closer to the carbs, that way it speeds up and forces more air into them.

Here's a couple pics. I don't have it hooked up now but I used a flat k&n filter at the cowl then had the pipe after that. I would like to continue the flow of the air with minimum angles to get as much air as I can. Right now when I run it without it hooked up there is so much air coming in that it lifts the hood where it meets the firewall! I'm going for a "vintage" look but haven't been able to find anything period correct.

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone has made or has seen a ram air induction on a 50 plymouth coupe. I have already cut out and fabbed one incorporated into the doghouse, going with the angle of the grill. I mocked it up using 4" stove pipe but only had one carter b&b carb on at the time. She ran better top end but needed more gas, so now I have twin carter b&b's on. She's a 218 bored out .40 over with a mini hei from Tom Langston. I also put in a 5 speed from a 89 C10. She runs 80 down the highway at 3200 rpm but I would like to see how much I can push her. I've heard storys of them running in the 14.5 in the quarter back in the day but I really don't know how? Any info on this?
