    Yup, another Inline Carb Induction system. This time for a Carb Adapter and Scoop for Blown 55 Chevy show car.

    The foam patterns:

    ......and with a few other small castings to complete the ready-to-run system with fuel logs and linkage.

    Kelly, that is jaw dropping gorgeous.
    You raise the bar with each casting.
    Also your video production is A1.
    I'm awestruck

    Found you on Utube long before finding you here. Great work and finding inspiration to try the LF method myself.

    Thanks Bonz. -Much appreciated. Lost foam still amazes me. I just keep tweaking, tuning, learning, and trucking along. I still get a little pucker on these bigger pours on whether they'll actually turn out but risk of fail actually makes it fun and keeps me going.

    Glad you made it here. Welcome.

    ...and thanks for the likes fellas.

    Does he get boost in HP with the inlines?

    Though it certainly is plenty of carb, doubtful. Biggest factor is state of tune and amount of boost. Though the engine was built with parts that could support very high power levels, it's a show car and the limits of power will never be put to the test.
