Hi
This is my first post here. I have a 73 240 that I've owned for 26 years. It's been in storage for the last 10 and i recently decided to get i on the road again. I'm a CNC pattern maker for the sand casting industry and have my own shop. I decided that I needed to design and cast something cool for the car and thought I'd do something unique like a triple SU set up. Then after digging around a little I see that Z therapy is coming out with one. So much for being unique! After some more digging I came across the Megasquirt site. This seemed to be a lot slicker than three SUs and and being a bit of a geek I love the open source concept of it.
So here's my design criteria:
#1 Look Cool
#2 Look Really Cool
#3 Actually Run
I'm opting for 6 individual throttle bodies in two banks of three. I'm running a stock L28 block with a E88 head. I plan on keeping the throttle bodies fairly long to improve my bottom end. The throttle shafts will be vertical as opposed to horizontal for ease of machining.
Right now I have the the head and exhaust modeled in 3d and I'm starting to do some preliminary design on the throttle bodies.
Here's a few questions.
Is there any benefit to tapering the throttle body. I drew it up going from 2†tapering down to 1.5†because it met design criteria #1 and #2
Is there any reason I shouldn't mount the injector as close to the intake port as possible.
Here's a link to a jpeg of where I'm at right now.
Thanks in advance
Derek
