Nah, can't be. It doesn't exist.

And, before I forget:

This BOP V6, this SBO, and this BBO cannot possibly exist, because they are not V8 Corvette intakes.

I keep saying stay out of it but when did I say Offy didn't make dual port intakes....my statement is there is no 50s or 60s LT5 style intake ... that is a spreadbore single 4 barrel carb intake you are talking about there, good luck bolting that up to the LT5s plenum Norom. Just admit it, you are wrong. You are talking to some seemingly knowledgible people, trying to debunk me and so far sounds like no one refutes what I've said, sure an 8 plenum intake could have been made for a 32 valve head but why? it would most likely create power robbing turbulence where as 16 runners port match 16 valves, yes? Give up while you can still respect yourself

speaking of Offy tell me again they never made crossram intakes

Yes, and it does wonders for your credibility.


You did not, and no one said you did.


No one said there is. Here is my complete statement.

What part of the word "variation" do you not understand?


Helluvan eye you have there, I'm impressed.


I'll admit I'm wrong when I'm actually wrong.


Using the word "seemingly" in that context, is insulting to all four of us. They are very knowledgeable, and unlike you, are not internet educated.


Having some paranoia problems?

Since after 5 days, you were unable to respond to the original post, we have been discussing it. Nothing more, nothing less.

Looks like you are still unable to discuss it, as you've disrupted this thread with an off topic post.


Already answered here,

Why do you keep telling me to give up? Not good for your credibility and not the best way to conduct a discussion.


And tell me again, how it pertains to this subject.

Man... thats gotta be a load of bull! Your statement was never about an LT5, it was about CFI! Norm was refering to the dual port the entire time, and you took it to mean something it wasnt. Its that simple.

How many times did you ask for a picture of the "mystery" intake? If you knew the dual port existed, you would have almost had to have said something.

Yes, there is no 50's version of the LT5. Duh.

Who needs to give up here?

Andrew don't be a Norom please

1) my assertation of CFI was based on his statement of a possibly 82 Corvette Offy inspired intake
2) he cited the LT5 as the intake he was referring to. I am glad you and I agree the LT5 is not a 50s or 60s design (that statement is BS) -- now who made that statement? it wasn't me
3) the dual port isn't a 1950s design either
4) I am completely unaware of an OEM offy style dual port vette intake (feel free to point one out)
5) yes I am asking for pictures of a "unicorn" that's my whole point

now before I go fruther into the dual port debate, let me ask this?

Is anyone aware of a spreadbore mechanical secondary 4 barrel carb?
If so can you please post a picture or atleast tell me make and model of carb ... I will explain the relevency of this and then i think we can consider this whole debate wrapped up

Hi All,

He erroneously posted the following reply to my above post, in another thread.


In other words, he is not able to "post the quote" because he can't find one.


Only so he can have the opportunity to explore his off topic statements without hijacking/confusing the original thread.

He complains, because the intent of that off topic statement, was to divert attention from his original one, in order to avoid discussing it.


Isn't that the purpose of a discussion board like this one?


When he does get one right, we can discuss it.


As we are all aware, not because he ignores us. Because he was given a generous 5 days, to search the internet for an explanation of his own statement, then respond.


Why would I want to do either?

this isnt quite a hijack...but after smashing my middle finger on my right hand HARD with a forklift fork....sigh, i was putting the second fork back on the A-C forklift when it slipped off the top channel....hand was under fork and middle finger got 99% of the damage....anyway...



this made me laugh my ass off...i dont know why but i had the image of me, from that moment, till 10 minutes after, where i was just an incoherent swearing bastard animal, more than i resembled a human

THAT FREAKING HURT! (sry)

no broken bones but i have a nice black middle finger...it used to be a nice dark blood red....then purple...now it's black



thanks, James

He said he didn't use the internet, so that's a non issue.

Doesn't explain his first big mistake. Why didn't he question my statement before going into his rants? If he had, he might have found how quickly I acknowledge/correct my errors.

His second big mistake was going off on those rants using only half of the available information. And the wrong half, at that.

His third big mistake was to try to evade all scrutiny of his false premise.

His fouth big mistake was/is to continue to lose any credibility he might have left, over an off hand comment I made in a casual discussion.


Did anyone?


When was it designed?


So are we. What is your point?


Why should someone point one out? What is your point?


So, instead of discussing the technology involved, you would rather ask for proof of anything you don't understand?

Andrewk: Sorry if I stepped on your toes. I'll kick back and watch.

Ouch!!! I know the feeling. PITA when you need to work.

I wish I could say "I feel your pain" but I never figured out how that works.

Since you have some time on your hands (or is it hand?) you might want to go back to the beginning of this subject. Easier to see the humor when one realizes that after all this time, the Fool still hasn't realized what's going on.

Hi Norm, DrRansom442, all,



If you want to call me names, go for it. I have yet to call you a name yet. Please don't be an asshat, we are merely discussing this, no need to makeit personal. (Theres the 1st name from me.)



So was your orginal assertation of CFI also that the CFI intake had 2 sets of intake runners consistant with Norm's orginal statement? Or would it be
that you didn't read the post and asserted CFI to add something irrelevent to the orginal post, perhaps because you thought CFI was some sort of relation to the topic at hand, which would assert some misinformation on your part? The offy dual port is indeed a VARIATION (read:different enginnering, different execution, but same principle) of the LT5. Now, this "Norom" has done his homework, and this should clarify things a bit. I'll start with a post from Norm, that already clarifys some of your points.





Norm has corrected himself here. Here is a supporting statement form the National Corvette Museum listserv ( I lost the link, I will try to find it later):



Further supported by:



Found on this page: http://listserv.corvettemuseum.com/cgi- ... &S=&P=4025



I'd say so. This looks pretty simliar to me. Throttle plates in the intake compared to throttle plates on a carb. Signifigant improvement indeed.





See above, this is already a moot point, no need to go on about it.




Since he admits he was off on the year, and considering the above information. I'll point out that the LT5 has a variation of the principle that the Offy dual port used when it was designed and produced.



I dont see your point. I think that you may be wrong here.



I know Carter makes a spread bore mechanical secondary carb, but it still has an air valve so it is more like vac. secondaries.



Please do.



I'd say so.





No problem, no "black toes" here! (sorry James, hope you are doing ok!)


Andrew

Disclamier** With the exception of the ending carb comment, all my inferences and assertations are based soley on internet research. I, andrewk, have no personal experience with the LT5, the Offenhauser Dual Port Intake, CFI, Corvettes, and the related systems therein. I have made no assertation to influence anyone otherwise.

Riiiggght



Good read though!

Good one Andrew.

I didn't think of the Thermoquad. An edelbrock 750/Carter AFB with a spreadbore. Another good product with an undeserved bad rep.

Did think of the Q-jet, but figured it's too obvious.

I don't see any of the above carbs having vacuum secondaries, so they must be mechanical.

I see where he is going. It will be very informative.

Norm

When I named it, I planned posting the links in another thread. If I had, this would have been a short discussion.

As it is, I haven't had this much fun in years.
