a pic of the cut off tb mount.
i cut a piece out of the lid on an ecotec manifold.
my weapons of choice. a henrob torch and some 203 flux.
the result. when it cools i'll clean it off. i'm fairly new to using the henrob. it hasn't been too bad though.

Re: ford pinto conversion.
so fixed up a few small leaks. i reckon i'll use a camira tb instead. i'll cut the flange off the camira manifold and use it. for alloy tube, i ended up finding an old receiver drier. it's 54mm inside with 3mm wall thickness. should be about right. just got to get it all trimmed and cut up.

Re: ford pinto conversion.
painting the manifold is a good way to fix small leaks too
No matter what the question is, the answer is always more horsepower!

Re: ford pinto conversion.
did some more to this today. fucked about and made a tb mount then attached it. just waiting for some aluminium burrs so i can finish off the cleanup. i reckon some sort of brace from the tb mount back to the plenum won't hurt either. next step is to fit it to the adaptor plate and head. pics.

Re: ford pinto conversion.
did a bit more today. started drilling and tapping the required holes for holding the manifold to the adaptor. when i get a bit further along, i'll put up some pics.
