Anybody know where I can find an "inexpensive" fabricated dual tunnal ram for a B/B Ford?

That is exactly what I have now. Powdercoated it "aluminum" welded on bungs for a fogger system..................but nothing looks like a fabricated intake Very Happy

I tried to post some pictures on here, but can't figure out how to make the pictures small enough.

only "cheap" option I see is find a smokin deal on a used one or make your own....design wont matter much as cool factor looks like what your after.


Sheetmetal intake and procomp heads should not be used together...................ever.......or the world will implode................. Laughing

I know as an engine builder that the two should not go together......................but my budget dictates over my better judgement on this one.

You are correct, looking for the WOW factor. So far the engine looks impressive, Danny Bee Belt Drive, front motor plate, Meziere pump, KRC P/S pump, with all HTD belt drives, custom fabricated valve covers, Aeromotive fuel regulators, (2) powder coated carbs., Stainless Steel fogger system.......just thinking about the next step.

Shoehorn all this into a 51' Ford Dump Truck, 33x22.5 Hoosiers on the back and wheelie bars, and I should have a head turner. cheers

Sell the top end and get some a 460 heads and a Cast "cool looking" TR........

or a performer RPM, 750 Edelbrock, inside a Fake 14-71 blower and injection?
