Got a killer early style flathead intake that you really wanna run on your 8BA but don’t know what to do with the filler tube and the blow by tube? Well, look no further, I’ll show you how to modify the 8BA engine and install a PVC under the intake so you can use that early intake! I love the Thickstun PM-7 hi rise intake myself, I run a similar Tattersfield intake on the Tom Seller’s coupe and love the look! On this roadster we’re working on we use a Mercury 8BA engine and I don’t like the intake options for an 8BA so we grabbed the Thickstun hi rise and want to run it on this engine.
Here’s the parts you’ll need:
1) Microgard PCV 181
1) Dorman 42061 Grommet
2) 5/16″ barbed hose fittings with 1/8″ NPT
1) 90º barbed hose fitting with 1/8″ NPT
1) T Fitting with 1/8″ NPT Female on the ends
1) 1/8″ male NPT
1) 2 feet of 5/16″ rubber vacuum hose.
