Reply to "Valley pan & air intake"

Jim (Guest)

Thanks a bunch!! Now I understand. The engine in the car has an Edlebrock aluminum manifold and the original engine laying on my basement floor doesn't have any exhaust manifold/header, so I had no idea what that valley pan was about. It seemed like the pan was a good idea to keep the oil from heating the fuel/air mixture, but the people at the local machine shop said that the racers did not use the pan with the aluminum manifold, so I was totally baffled and befuddled.
It sounds like the air scoops would be a waste for me because my main intent is to run autocross - speeds below 100 MPH. I thought that cool air to the carburetor would be desired rather than the air that comes up through the headers and gets heated before entering the air filter. It's amazing how much reality differs from what I am looking at and thinking. Thanks again.
