Birth of the intercooler. the runs were too long to carry fuel thru the intercooler for many reasons, pooling of fuel all over inside the system etc. etc. etc. My plan is to twin turbo a low compression 302 with over killed rotating assembly Forged everything!! Aluminum heads, blah blah blah. Using a MAX boost of 8-10 PSI the draw thru will be compact and should be relatively trouble free as long as my brain stays attached to my right foot.

The fabrication is no problem I work for a company that make Aircraft engines and we have a great welding department and they owe me favors. I found the picture on a geocite trolling for draw thru turbo info of any kind. The guy had a friend that picked up the intake with manifold at a flea market and then sold it at a swap meet in Florida aweek later for $200.
Any way finding this picture has only made me more resolute on finding a manifold. Thank you all for your time and consideration.

if fabrication isn't an issue, you can make your own. just have the carb fitted ahead of the turbo(s) then make your own plate (shape of the underside of the carb, where it bolts to the manifold) and have the boosted air inlet to engine there.
