Crossram setup with original GM hood sale/trade

[Day2_69Z]

Wow....
What a Complete Package....
Very , very nice....the most comprehensive set up
I've ever seen !
Good Luck with the Sell/Trade

A few years ago , like 1987....I acquired one of the Penske Units that came back from England in the Early 80's (Via Eric Brant from California.)
A near NOS Unit unmodified with studs & nylocks
for attachment. Years later I sold it at Corvette Carlisle to an Auto Parts Store/Franchise owner from Oklahoma...... lost track....
That was a Cool piece...with Real Race History.

jeff... what is the difference between the real hood and the repos?? thanks max

BTW...you probably already know Jeff, but, that is a 'one day only' xram top plate. Apparently where the winters plant employee screwed up and placed the date on the wrong side of the mold that day, therefore the date ended up on the outside of the intake where it is always visible. Neat set-up for someone that wants to have a very cool and unique car !! Wish I had something to trade !! Good luck !!

I didn't know about that with the top plate. I did notice one of the 1's missing from the base casting number and I know there are others out there like that.

I'd be willing to split up the crossram setup and hood separately if anyone is interested. I'm still looking for a nice clean 67-73 RS car if anyone is interested in a trade or partial trade.

It turns out the original carbs are dated 891 and not 881 like I originally thought. I took them out of the wrapping to take some pictures for Wayne Guinn and noticed the dates. I also noticed that Holley put the fuel bowls on backwards (inlets are on the outside) when they rebuilt the carbs so they need to be swapped around.

I had Wayne Guinn write up a report on the setup and parts so I can forward that to anyone seriously interested. Here are some pictures of the carbs, the bowls need to be swapped around, Holley put them on backwards when they were rebuilt.
