Build Purist Step away. Mint 400 2023 FJ45

[middlecalf]

You should get everything you can out of that Holley 600 at 5-5.5k rpms (~375 cfm primaries) but not sure you’ll open the secondaries . But I’m not a hot rod guy .

Productive day, fuel lines are done. Electric fuel pump wired to master kill switch, my 2 inch manifold riser AKA Tunnel ram arrived. Hope to have the carb bolted down tomorrow and see what happens.

Bonneville FJ45 2026, Holley 600 CFM Carburetor taking it to the next level. Later I will be installing the 4 inch forced air induction air intake. 100 MPH here we come

Hopefully the rods dont leave the chat and put a window in the almighty F!

When we were doing the oil pan gasket I welded all the rod and main caps together. Should be fine.

Rob was doing clutch drop burnouts at the Stockton Swap meet in this thing earlier this summer and it sounded rad revving high. I think he's properly stress tested it

Some ideas for the air intake tube, my plan is after getting it all measured out make some brackets to hold it in place, I'll cut the front headlight plate down to fit in the headlight bucket and cut the tube to fit. Forced air intake . Bigger better ideas are in the works.

Now you just need a venturi in the back to suck the exhaust out.

Just took my swb out for our wedding anniversary dinner and then a little cruise afterwards and I was thinking 65 sure seems like a good speed for the 45. 100 would be fun for a second but 65 sure felt good enough to me. Maybe it 68 downhill on the floor

Air induction system. Paper plate template. I'll find a bowl, cut the tube down for a clean look.

Productive Saturday, 4 inch lowering kit installed on the rear. I really like the way the 45 sits now almost level. Still working on the air induction tube funnel. I've got a few ideas. And I'll cut the tube flush in the back of the dog water bowl

You need to add NOS, two stage kit for the last 1/4 mile!

 

[thatcabledude]
