Indy Tunnel Ram Top Plate Version Info

Indy Tunnel Ram Top Plate Version Info - 06/29/13 08:03 AM

I recently purchased an Indy low deck tunnel ram for my 511" 400 based stroker. It came with a 2x4500 top plate and I need a 2x4150 top plate. After looking online and talking to Cab I see the newer (I think) tunnel rams use less bolts that the older (I think) one I have that has 22 (!) attaching screws. Does Indy still sell the older style top plate? Does anyone know when they switched designs? Is one better than the other? I am going to run two annular 1050 CFM QuickFuel 4150 carbs and am hoping I don't have to make a top plate.

Don't know if this will help you but my Indy tunnel Ram for a 440 has 12 bolts holding the top plate on. If you need some pictures let me know.

Current 4150 style. I think the 22 bolt was a good 7 or 8 yuears ago.

Put you some 4150-4500 adapter plates on it,use your drummel to make sure you match the bottom of the spacer to the top of the intake(gasket match them to each other).They tell me adding a spacer to the Indy intake is worth a few extra horse-power as well.I was going to test a few different thickness spacers a while back,but due to the cost of having to buy 2 of each and I was told running mech.FI I would not see the benfits as with carbs.I never got around to it.

PS You will get 2 for the price of 1 an adapter to mate your carb. to the intake and a spacer which will increase your perfomance!

Double PS,most of the single Indy intakes use a super sucker,so there is nothing wrong or bad about running an adapter plate.

Awesome, I will hook up some adapters. I was looking on Summit's site and they range from this:

http://www.wilsonmanifolds.com/products/spacers/carburetor-adapters/4500-to-4150-adapters.html

to this:

Thank you all for the input. Always something around here! I am hoping to pick up 30 hp on my CNC MW Victor pump gas 511 with a 750ish roller cam.

Shoot...here is another option:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-5-INCH-CARB-AD...2f3&vxp=mtr

The HVH is out due to it being a 4150 to 4500 carb application that is directions.

Here is a picture of my manifold. It is kind of a pile of crap and will need some finishing to get the top to bolt on, carb studs not tapped, port entry looks to be chiseled by a cave man, etc. No big deal it will be a fun project.

Re: Indy Tunnel Ram Top Plate Version Info - 06/29/13 08:04 PM

Ok....I think this is my solution unless I can find a 4150 top:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/HVH-carb-adapter...702&vxp=mtr

Most of the spacers listed 4500 manifold to 4150 carb have the holes tapped on the 4500 side and pass through holes on the 4150 side which is the opposite of what I need.

Any idea if the Wilson spacers are this way was well? If not I can call on Monday and ask. edit: Wilson does make a 4150 carb to 4500 manifold adapter...

I have two 4150 to 4500 adapters, one was used on a 4150 intake to mount a 4500 carb., all the holes on one of the adpaters are removed(drill out) so we used bolts to mount the spacer adapter and the carbs The other one still has the threads on the 4500 side I would try these type adpaters and remove the 4 hole divider from your top, the Indy 4500 tops have a open top

I had two short adapter plates made locally to mount my Terminator 4150 type bolt pattern throttle body onto my early low deck top that is for the 4150 carbs. mounted sideways No reason you couldn't do the same for your deal, if your short on hood space BTW, I may try adding a two inch tall spacer onto this intake set up with the fuel injection to see if it helps the motor out or not

Re: Indy Tunnel Ram Top Plate Version Info - 06/29/13 10:15 PM

Thanks Cab! I will get busy this week and mill open the top plate. I reamed out most of the bolt holes and spot faced them to the tpo plate would actually bolt on. I don't think there a chance I can run a hood scoop with this...maybe one of the older Mopar prostock scoops would work.

I looked for a used one for about six months. They are not all that common it seems. For not much more than a used one like mine you can call Bob George Racing and get a new one. I think the price is generally $150 more for brand new and you won't have to deal with the issues I am. By the time it is all said and done I'll have at least $150 in spacers to run 4150 carbs. I don't think my little 511 warrants 4500 series carbs, especially because it will get some street duty.

Mr_Cab,let me how how the spacers work,I might have give up on the idea too soon.

Mr_Cab,showed (picture)the type adapter spacers needed for intake.

Also was RIGHT about opening the 4 holes up in intake to one.

Mr_Cab is the man!

That is the reason I had to take mine off. With the two 1150 dominators they were to close to the top of the hood scoop. My Daytona ran like a son of a gun with it on till it was just shy of the 1/8 mile mark. Not good when you are racing 1/4 mile. Been sitting on the shelf for several years now and the 572 will be using B1 heads and alcohol next time out.

No problem aluminum is easy tapped.Any Advance,Lowes has 1/4x20 taps(get a sales rep to make that is correct size or what size is needed)get a starter tap most times they come with correct size drill bit that needs to be drilled before tapping hole.Drill hole straight make sure tap is straight use a wrench to turn it and you have thread on needed side.If need be the side thats threaded can be drill out if its 1/4" use a 9'16" or 5/16" drill bit.

Re: Indy Tunnel Ram Top Plate Version Info - 06/29/13 11:39 PM

Thank you. The machining end of things is not problem and I see the HVH is tapped on both sides. I will have to install helicoils in the top plate because the threads are gone or where never there. That's hotrodding for you.

You may want to rethink the helicoils and use Keenserts. usually a much safer setup.

Re: Indy Tunnel Ram Top Plate Version Info - 06/30/13 03:32 AM

Those are cool and I have used similar products however I don't have enough surrounding material to drill a hole for a 7/16-14 tap (used for 5/16 coarse or fine insert). If this was a head or something like that I'd be all over it. Can you buy directly from these folks in low quantity?

Thank you for the tip!

Your not going to believe this one but Harbor Freight sells those plastic boxes with cotter pins, small nuts and bolt, and they sell a kit that has brass ones of all different sizes. My local ace hardware also sells them by the piece. I'll see if I can find them on their site.

Hey cab can you trace that top plate on a piece of cardboard and send it down this way? I'd like to see it I can weld and re-drill/tap my intake for the newer style top.

I am worried that the spacers will hurt the manners of my 511 on the street.

There is a guy on here occasionally (MONTESSA) that runs 440-1's on a 572" he was making pretty near 950 HP with 2 750 4150's.

I am going to follow your advice there and test with some 650's and 750's on the dyno. If I didn't already have one 1050 that is running on the car and one that fell in my lap I'd skip the idea altogether. I'd hate to have parts laying around and not try them. My QF 1050-AN runs so nice on the street I'd hate to let it go.

If I could find a set of affordable aluminum 4500 series carbs I'd give it a shot but so far nothing has surfaced. Long ago I made a vow to never own a pot metal carb again for a wide array of reasons.

Jeremiah, my dual 4150 top would only bolt on one way It looked like it would fit both ways when I was mocking it up, as in the picture, but one screw would not go in when I went to do the final assembly , I reverse it and they all went in

Them 1050's will not be too much on that 511,make sure which ever carbs. you run block the power valves Tunnels Rams do not work with them.You may have to play with the jetting a little more than the 750's but in the end it will be worth it,the dyno will show it as well.I have been running Tunnel-Rams since the 80's,done it at 1st for the looks but would not have kept running them if they were not better.
I still think the 4150-4500 adapter plates will give you an easy 25-30 HP(the ones like in Mr_Cab photo)or more than just the standard top.

Re: Indy Tunnel Ram Top Plate Version Info - 07/01/13 03:06 AM

I am going to get on the horn and get two HVH adapters coming on Monday. I am also going to look into getting a top plate made and if it can be done for a reasonable cost I'll do a comparo on that as well.

Thank you for the encouragement. I sure hope the 1050's work because they are not cheap and nobody seems to want them used.

I had no idea this was what you've been up to! Very cool indeed.
Have you the tuning specs of your 'street' 1050?
I'd be keen to see how it's tuned.


I'd like to say 'keep out of trouble', but it would seem you're doing the opposite!
Cheers!

Re: Indy Tunnel Ram Top Plate Version Info - 07/01/13 04:02 PM

I don't know if this will be of any help on making a top plate,but on the BBC Dart Tunnel-Ram the top plate is flat with 2 carb openings and drilled & tap for the carb studs or bolts & most run them that way mounted flat to the top with no spacer. This should be fairly simple to make.

I took your advice and have two 4500 manifold to 4150 carb HVH adapters coming.

What are you guys using to seal the top to the base on this intake? Hylomar? Should I get a sheet from Superformance and make a gasket?

Thanks for answering all of my dumb questions. Tunnel rams are new to me as you can see.

It was 106 where we were working today and having cool hotrod parts on the bench sure makes the effort worth it! me -->
We are going to back this engine up with a Lenco ST1200 so it should be a fun car to drive. Hard work and even harder play!

Indy said to use silicone when I last talk to them about two years ago about buying some top gaskets for both of my tunnelr rams I used some clear adhesive silicone on my low deck, I won't know it that works or not for quite a while do to it being plumbed for rons Terminators set for E85

Interesting, and not expensive.
Do you know if the external threads on those are normal coarse machine threads (like 7/16-14)? I worry since the package says wood, the external threads might be something more coarse than standard.

Re: Indy Tunnel Ram Top Plate Version Info - 07/04/13 05:28 AM

I stopped at the machine shop and worked on the top for a while today. I needed to drill, tap, and install helicoils for the carb studs before milling out the center of the carb openings. It's good thing we don't plan on using it that way. The 5/16" holes that I assume were drilled for helicoils (or to be tapped 5/16-18) were not even close. I could have done better in the field with a cordless drill, hole saw, and a carb gasket.

I am going to wait until I have the block, heads, and intake mocked up before I do anything with the ports. I put a MW Superformance gasket in the intake and the holes are WAY off compared the the gasket. Upon seeing that we decided not to mess with until checking the intake against the long block.

I have also read about having to modify the floats in the carbs due to sideways mounting. Is this something I should be reading up on?

Thanks for all of the great replies so far.

I am also trying to get ideas for air filters so if you have pics or p/n's please share.

I'm wondering about the floats also Jeremiah, I bought some of the K&N small base air cleaners for my dual 4150 tunnel ram set up, measure your carbs between the studs for the air cleaners once you get them mounted and see how wide air cleaner bases you can use I think on the 4150 carbs, depending on the carb. centers , you can use a 11 inch drop base set I had to use a set of 9 inch diameter, I think they are, on my Dominator set due to no small base drop bases for the Dominator I did buy the Extreme lidsa also, there worth a little ET and MPH at the track

The last 2-3 years I have been running terminators,but since the 80's have run both 4150's & 4500's all side ways and never made any changes to the floats with no problems.

I might have to do a little trimming when the adapters show up but it's good for now.

I had a 750 Ultra HP next to the Quickfuel for mockup. I sure wish we had another 750 U-HP for testing!

I stopped at the machine shop and worked on the top for a while today. I needed to drill, tap, and install helicoils for the carb studs before milling out the center of the carb openings. It's good thing we don't plan on using it that way. The 5/16" holes that I assume were drilled for helicoils (or to be tapped 5/16-18) were not even close. I could have done better in the field with a cordless drill, hole saw, and a carb gasket.

I would not want my assembled engine setting in all of that machine shop dust...

That one is a dyno mule or something like that. I asked same question a while back. Come to think of it that may have been in the back of the plow truck for weight...
