This Question is for the Old School Y-Blockers........Has there ever been a Tunnel Ram manufactured for the Y-Block? If so who and if not "Y"?



Thanks for your time,

Brian

I've never seen or heard of an aftermarket (commercially made) tunnel ram intake for a Y block Ford.



IF I was interested in building a Ford Y block with a tunnel ram intake manifold, I would contact Jerry Christenson. Jerry either has or can fabricate any configuration of intake manifold you want. IF you're looking to make one yourself, I'd call and talk to him anyway. -I'm sure he'd have some tips to share with you.



Jerry is located in Minnetoka, Mn. He can be reached at Yestertech, phone (952) 933-3672.

Other than Hogans and their custom built tunnel rams, commercially built tunnel rams for the Y have not been available.  This is likely because the Y engines had dropped out of the mainstream performance market by the time tunnel rams started becoming popular in the mid to late Sixties.  But there’s been several custom built as a result.  Here’s some pics for ideas.

WOW!!!  That last one is a work of art, mostly fabricated from individual pieces.  And the welds!!  I assume that is what they are, although they look like they are painted on.  Or maybe cut out pictures of welds from a welding book and pasting them on???

Ok Lon, I'll bite!!!  Tongue

If a Canadian is "half smart", does that make an Aussie "quarter smart"???? Wink Lord knows they are half as fast as a Canadian ( that's been proven on the starting line!)Tongue 

I love the smell of burning rubber in the morning!
