Other stuff
By Royce P - 10/12/2005 6:29:00 PM; IP 4.224.36.9
It is impossible for me to type all the iformation in the world about tunnel ports because:
a. I actually have a life
b. I don't know everything

Regarding the carbs and intakes there were factory intakes that had 8V single plane, 4V single plane and Dpminator single plane. I have not seen any dual plane TP intakes but I am sure there were some made at some point. The most commonly found tunnel port intake is the 8V single plane and the correct original carbs are C8AF AD and C8AF AC Holley 715 CFM vacuum secondaries.

The tunnel port was never installed in any car from the factory. Exception being the GT40 Mk II and Mk IIB which were race cars, not factory assembly line stuff. It was strictly either a crate engine or buy the individual parts if you wanted a tunnel port engine.

There are trolls on the internet like John with no sense of humor. Every once in a while they pop out from under their bridge with nothing to offer us except stupidity.

Honestly, Google is the way to find the stuff you are after. Try some other topics:
Dan Gurney, GT40, Richard Petty, 1968 Talladega, 1969 Riverside, 1967 Sebring, 1967 LeMans, 1966 LeMans, side oiler, Mark Donohue, Peter Revson, Ken Miles, SAAC.

Good books include Shelby GT40 by Dave Friedman, Fearsome Fords by Phil Hall and Ford Performance by Pat Ganahl.
