Rooster McConaughey on cars:

By god, my dad, he was just notorious for finding me good deals. I was 13 years old, and some hippie shot a rod right through the doggone engine of a Triumph TR3 1959. He walked up to me and said, “Give me $75, boy, I just bought you a car.” And I got that damn car, and I worked on that car forever and ever. I put everything there was into that car. Metallic gray and everything. I mean, a brand new windshield — it broke the next day.

I think every dime I had I put into that car. It was 1967 when I got it, and in 1972, I sold it to a guy, and he blew that son of a b—— up, and he only made it 60 miles. From that day since, I have no respect for a vehicle whatsoever. I could care less. They’re nothing but a tool to me anymore, and it’s always been that way. ... I could go on forever about these god dang cars. I hate them.

I don't think a Cammer would fit in ANY first gen Mustang though, and any Cammer equipped model will handle like shit anyways, with almost half a ton worth of cast iron on top of the front axle.

Completely different plenum and runner volumes and lengths combined with a different design (sidedraft vs downdraft) will cause practical/performance differences as well.

The Chevy manifold looks like it belong on a gray dull 90's LT1 engine. The Holley looks like it belongs on a modern hotrod.

Forgot to mention (kinda outside of the theme of this thread): you can get modern kits that transform classic Hillborn style MFI units into (selflearning) EFI units. 100% of the visual impact, 80% of the mechanical appeal, less than half the fuel consumption, and optimal power production.

That's not a 1:1 ratio though, that's 1 carb per two cilinders. They're twobarrel Webers though, which means you've got one carb barrel per cilinder (as you woild have with two fourbarrels on a V8). You can't really have a single carb per cilinder, it'd get a shitty vacuum signal and therefore bad efficiency.

No but seriously tho fuck EFI

Wow, I sure am glad we live in modern times when this never ever happens

weber intake manifolds traditionally have no shared plenum so the vacuum would be the same as one carb per cyl. if you look inside the weber the venturis are independent. they even have their own jets etc. they even have their own idle mixture screw per cyl

>i have nothing to put it in

Looking forward to buying my first car. Leaning on getting a Ford Poplar because cheap. What things should i look for?

Look at this ruined car here

If you want less body roll, get another car. Like a NSU if you like the eurobox feels and can live with a rear-engine setup for hectic skids. Also;

I don't have enough shiggy for that giggy, anon. You could also get a mehari or just see if someone is selling an old packard. Keep the 2cv for camping and giggles.

Driving this for another summer, but my reenlistment bonus is enough to cover an e-type.
