      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...

      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.

      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.

      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.
