period correct tunnel rams
Can someone post information on dated tunnel rams? For instance what might have been used in the late 60's, early to mid 70's, etc.

Re: period correct tunnel rams
Cool Picture. Edelbrock made one before that -plenum was one giant square box.
Offenhauser and Weiand also made TR's in 1970-1973 era. Most came out in the early 1970's. |

Re: period correct tunnel rams
"Bread Box" version?
I learned this term from my own TR request thread: https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbt...413&page=1 I'm looking for a vintage TR1 or a TR2.

I'm looking for a vintage TR1 or a TR2. </div></div> Marlin, Those bread box TR1's were absolutely horrendous on the street and it takes someone with experience to set one up right and even then it won't run as good as a TR with a smaller plenum. Even Edelbrock pitched it after one year of production and went to the TR-2X and discontinued the TR1. It was a poor design to begin with. A friend of mine put one on his 70's style street rod he was building and it washed down his cylinder walls after a summer of driving and he and his friend who set it up have been setting up these systems since the mid 70's. He wanted a challenge..and it beat him. I would suggest the Edelbrock TR-2X, or better yet the Weiand or an Offenhauser-both have a smaller plenum than the TR-2X and are very early 1970's correct. Offenhauser had a very good reputation for nice running street TR's back in the 70's because they had the best plenum shape. Here is the engine in my 289 Mustang- Offenhauser with 2 Holley 390's-the pre emission carbs w/o all the smog junk on them.Disregard the date on the photo-it was not set the day I photographed it. |

Re: period correct tunnel rams
Your engine looks great.
Does anyone know the time frame on the two pictured? Don't worry about Stunkards picture of the Camaro. He won't mind.

Re: period correct tunnel rams
Thanks. The 4150 TR in the top picture is on Ebay right now. I like the way it looks but I will stick with my Edelbrock.
