Cold Air intake 1953 +4 3.7 V6

Yes folks you heard that right...
Barry Sumners 1953 Flat Rad "Black Sheep" has a 3.7ltr V6 in it

Was in the workshop for me to make some airboxes for the throttle bodies

Dont know, havent seen a dyno sheet for it. The stock (ish) engine that's in the car at the moment, cried enough at Silverstone. That was circa 360-70BHP at I think 7500 RPM

The new engine will have more...
Apparently it's already bum-clenchingly fast

The airboxes were designed mostly empirically, I've got a good idea what sort of volumes they need to be to not pose a restriction.

Cheers!

Yes, it used to run a very much time served 4.6 Rover V8. When the time came to rebuild, Barry decided to go down a different route...

Interestingly it still runs the Moss gearbox bellhousing (actually the prototype one used by Maurice Owen in the first +8), it's bolted to the back of the engine with an adaptor plate, and is modified at the back end to take a T5 gearbox...

Looks very tasty. So is that the Mustang V6?
I know I'm going to regret this financially but can that be fitted to the 3l V6 Ford ST220?

WOW! There must be 2,000 Moss-box Plus 4s in America. If the company can't import new V6 Morgans, this might be the answer.

Assuming the moss box can take the 270 bhp & the 300 ft lb of torque
