I took advantage of a free day today and mocked up my intake. This is believed to be a factory GM or aftermarket experimental intake for the 215. It's got flow ports at each runner and no part number. There's some engraved numbers on one side (very light) but that's it. No evidence of any grinding of the casting either. I got this and the engine from a guy who bought a whole truckload of parts from one of the developers of the engine. Pretty cool! Speaking of that, the engine gets here Monday night!

The factory 3.2L BMW V8 uses dual Solex carbs so I wanted to stay true to form with a dual carb set up on this engine too. 2x2 intakes, no matter what engine, are pretty rare. I still have a few mods to do (fuel drip pan and some air cleaner details) but this is how the package came together.

Dual Carter BBD carbs round out the package. Same bolt pattern as the small 2G. I offset the air cleaners and cut the element down to get the look correct. It's getting close.

This week seats, engine, transmission, pedal box, and couple other small detail parts show up!

Cheers
Dave
