Fabricated Aluminum Dual Tunnal Ram

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

Define inexpensive..... and for what heads?

Cheaper than the $2400.00 ones I have been looking at...............
Pro Comp heads

Really stupid comment about to come off my keyboard........ Spend the money on better heads.......... If your not pulling my chain.....

This project is for show only !!!!! Street rod project.

Not looking to set any world speed records.

Back to my original question....................?

Find a Weiand Tunnel Ram, Air Gap it and Polish the hell out of it or powder coat it..... Bam realy fast looking inexpensive or at least reasonably priced manifold.............

^^^^ good advice.

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

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

The Look Isn't cheap........

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.................

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.

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?

Lets hear it !!!!!!!

procrap makes a low cost, paper thin "backfire-edition" sheetmeal tunnel ram for the 351-C......maybe they also make one for the 460 too?

nice............

^^^ What he said.......

That tunnel ram is a true work of art!!!....

how is that damage the intakes fault? pop off valve would of helped. ive seen very high $$$ intakes bend,warp,etc when this happens. wasnt the fault of the intake.

Procrap makes parts of these T-rams (like the plenum box, plenum top, & carb base) out of such thin sheet material that vacuum leaks & backfires are bound to happen. These are so paper thin in some areas that I wouldn't be surprised if a small sneeze (that doesn't open a pop-off), would still balloon the top/sides.

big name sheetmetal tunnel ram makers out there are smart enough to know a cheezy paper thin carb base/mount with damn Riv-nuts isn't going to seal anything very well......no wonder there was vacuum leaks/backfires.

A well made sheetmetal tunnel ram from a reputable manufacture is a little heavier than what people might expect them to be. They use a thicker/rigid top plate (vs the procrap siht) for a much better seal between the top & plenum base, and between the top & the carb(s).

got ya

Looks like their welder is top notch.... makes me wanna go light myself on fire and jump off a cliff than to want something like that.

Soda can intakes...

Par for the course w/Pro-Crap BBF parts..

The world will "implode"!!!!!
