    THORNSPAWN got a reaction from clevocortina in converting a barra to carb   
    Better off with EFI though it would work. there is nowhere to install a dizzy in a BA block so you would need a computer to run it anyway.
    Locking cams is also a stupid idea. You have all the features of a BA motor why remove them all and go backwards?

    THORNSPAWN got a reaction from gerg in looking for some one to make a manifold   
    LOL been there done that!
     
    Had the center 2 runners from 3 manifolds cut up and blocked off. 
    It had a broom handle for the linkage and no tuning so it ran like shit but when it got up in the revs it went suprisingly well.
    Exhaust was twin 2 1/4in out under the drivers door.

    That's the best pic I have unfortunately.  It was years ago. the manifold sections don't sit inline but it wouldn't be too hard to join the runners.

    A capacitor isn't a battery and nor should it be considered to be used instead of a second battery.
    In fact, the only thing it may help is your lights and accessories from flickering in some instances because it actually prevents power getting to the amplifiers properly, and instead everything wired before it gets the power.
    The money spent on a capacitor would be better put towards a alternator capable of running your audio properly, as your audio will be powered primarily by the alternator, while using the battery to backup any large amp loads.
    The reason a cap is pretty much useless, is because it discharges itself in a matter of milliseconds, and then takes minutes to actually recharge itself properly, which it will never do while the audio is on because it'll keep discharging on big bass notes and slowly recharge till the next big bass note...
    It's because of this that it'll actually create a higher load on the alternator and battery.
    This pretty much makes a capacitor a expensive, useless, blingy volt meter (well the ones with a voltage display anyway).
    There really is no substitution for a good alternator.
    Even a second battery is only a bandaid fix for inadequate alternator current, as it too requires charging by the alternator which again means less power to the amps.
    There's been mixed opinions on the value of a good capacitor for years, but you'll usually find that the only people that say they work usually are the people that sell them.

    Just amp the fronts and run the rears from the head unit.

    THORNSPAWN got a reaction from mcfly94 in Sub Box   
    I'd be adding a heap of internal bracing to that box it's very thin walled and will flex like crazy, also being MDF you'll need to completely seal it inside, MDF is about as air tight as a fly screen door.
    Good work though it will look good once carpeted.
