Impressive. Beautiful engine.

Without giving away too many secrets, can you tell me

who built the manifold ?

What size turbos ?

What size injector were you using that ran out on you ?

thanks

So Frie slams Pro-touring in an editorial, and then turns around and builds a PT FirstGen? OKAY... :dunno:

Tom,
Could you please post some more detailed pics of the intake manifold? I am planning on building a port manifold for my Vette as a school project. I have been doing a lot of reading on manifold design, but finding good quality pictures is pretty tough.

Thanks for your help.

HOT ROD built a pro-touring car LONG ago. HOTROD1 (the green 69 conv. made from those repro bodies) looks pro-tour to me.

I believe this is for a 2nd gen camaro anywho.

Nelson builds some bad ass motors!

LONG AGO? Last year? You are talking about the one that was at SEMA in 04 right, the one that non of the gaps matched? I did not realize THAT was protouring.

Tom! What up? I'm getting my import licence to bring the engine down to Buenos Aires, 2 to 3 weeks time. I'll be getting in touch with you

They built a '67 probably 3 or 4 years ago called the "Crusher Camaro." It's got an all aluminum 632 big block, Baers, I can't remember what else. They just made it into a diecast.

Tom,
Thanks for the pictures of the intake. I hope to be able to weld like that with a FEW more hours of practice. Can you tell us anything more about the manifold. It looks like you have incorporated a venturi affect into the plenum opening. Sorry for hounding you, but I am really trying to soak up as much about manifolds as possible right now.

Thank again.

Is there a video that I'm to dumb to find? I've looked and looked?

Yes, to me, first gens with big wheels and tires and a nice suspension setup are pro touring. Crusher was early, but fits the mold. And yes, HOTROD1 is pure pro touring. Are you saying that the Detroit Speed suspension and mini-tubs are not standard-issue PT? Weird.
