[attachment=40584:attachment][attachment=40583:attachment][attachment=40582:attachment]heres are some pics of our peripheral housing that my friend carlos and me r putting together , they are almost finish let me know what u guys thing of the porting the inlets are 2" id and the exhoust port started of as racing beat race exhoust but we decided to go a litle bit wider and lower, we plan to use a holley 750, hopefully we find a 9" rear end for it

 

Looks good to me man. I can see where the die grinder got away from you in the first pic. I did the same thing but fortunately I had a sanding drum at that point and it didn't do much at all to the chrome surface.

Yours will probably be just fine. I went with a weber 48ida on my 12a.

Enjoy it!

 

I cant really tell by the picture, but did you bevel the top of the ehhaust port?

You should get someone to weld the intake tube to the housing, just to be safe. I did.



Good luck

we have to go over and actually retouch the exhoust and do the final veveling, i know a holley well be harder to do since we have to make a manifold for it,im more familiar with holleys ill go that route and since we have a new one sitting around, a lot of the puerto ricans are running holleys on their peripheral motor i think becouse of the price and that u can go as big as the motor can flow , any info on tunning will be apreciated , timing , header lenth

thanks julio

 

Interesting!

 

I thought Puerto Ricans prefer Weber?

(no pun intended)

 

not really, several of my friends here in vegas are puerto ricans and some of them know some of them guys back in puerto rico and most fast rotaries all motor run holleys or holley nitrous something like 280 shots, theres people back in the island that sell manifolds already made for peripheral holleys

thanks julio

 

just an idea but for your next one you might want to use slighty thicker tubing that you press in. only because of the risk of smashing the tube with the pipe clamps when you go to install the intake manifold. other then that looken good!



oh and i was wondering did you use a hole saw or some thing else to get the port that high in the housing while still managing to get all the way though. because when i tried to put it that high on the housing i bottomed out the hole saw.

 

the tubing i got from burns, it might look too thin but it should work for now, the position of the port is becouse i started from the center of the water port, and it was cnc at a local machine shop, should the timing be off?? let me now

 

I'm going to be running a p-port this year as well. seems to be popular. i dont have any pics of my housings yet since they are at my father in-laws place but i do have my intake. here are some pics.
