Edmunds parts

[47trev]

I installed my edmunds high compression head on my 47 kaiser this weekend and the car runs great.
Im still looking for a dual carb intake manifold.
Thanks

Please post a picture of it.  We'd love to see it.  Thanks.

47trev,
  Can you tell any HP increase?
  How about how smooth it runs now from before?

I would still love to get the same set-up for my 49 Frazer...Carbs too..

And yes i can feel the car has more power. the combustion camber was much different.
The car starts better and runs and drives better
it has great throttle response and doesnt smoke anymore.
Im a happy camper.

Looks great, I have a few questions, 1. Why are your fuel lines going zig zag to the carb? just curious, 2. Why no in line fuel filter? 3. Is it the same carb, or a different one than factory? Looks nice, just curious, thanks for the pictures...

I'm guessing this is an attempt at preventing vapor lock which was is a common problem with KFs. Suppose the theory is the bends take it away from the exhaust heat a bit and keep from vaporizing in the tube.

Nice looking engine. I like the copper color on the non-aluminum parts.

I notched the back of the frame so the airbags would let it lay on the frame when parked so i had to make a new metal fuel line from front to back.
The only reason my fuel line goes back and forth was because i thought it looked cool and i was playing with the tubing bender.
I also have galvanize pipe for the heather hoses and have a copper pipe for the lower metal radiator pipe.
All my airbag lines are galvanize pipe and my air bag valves are regular ball valves.
I just like to be different

Just want to thank the guys that keep an eye out for the intake manifold for me i was on vacation and wasnt even looking on ebay last week.
If it wasnt for the guys on here emailing me to let me know i would have never seen it.
I have the manifold and have ordered the 1 5/8ths exhaust tubing to make the header.
Now i just need the steel to make some header flanges.

Im not sure what kind of carbs i will be running so im open to sugestions.
What kind of carbs do you guys think i should run?
Im looking into Fish carburetors they are rare and work really good so they are not easy to find.

Wow looks great,but be carefull with mixing copper with aluminium,bad things will happen!

[54 Kaiser]

I'm guessing the "copper" is just paint. If not, Kenneth is dead right. Copper and aluminum get along like cats and dogs. Notice they don't sell aluminum wire for houses any more?


BTW, that was a fabulous find, Trev!!!

47trev, I went to drool on your Edmunds intake and head and it's gone... Is there a place I can look now?

Of course you know John Parker ran an Edmunds head and dual carb manifold on his 48K and drove it across the country several times. He eventually removed those components. I can not say why. However, I will say that aluminum erodes from antifreeze a lot quicker than cast iron. I have repaired 2 Chevy 305 engines with factory aluminum intakes that started leaking coolant because of eroded gasket surfaces. Don't assume you can "set it and forget it."
