Re: 77 Cheyenne meets Ramjet 350 by N2TRUX
Things were starting to take shape now. The motor and transmission were in and everything seemed to fit like it should. The brackets and accessories were mocked up and appeared they would work fine too. It was time to start considering the appearence of the final package.
Roger had suggested before we started that he wanted to do something with the area around the injectors. No matter what you did to clean that part of the motor up, the injectors, fuel rail, and harness were hard to make pretty. He recommended we cover it up since everything we had seen done to make this area look better made you think of lipstick on a pig.
He wanted to fabricate some covers similiar to whats used on an LT-1. This would hide all the ugly stuff and give the motor a different look. I never liked how tall and thin the RamJet plenum looks. This would help disguise some of the height of the plenum and make it look a bit wider.
He used thin template material to cut out patterns-
