Making a personal statement.
As a top-tier custom induction builder, we offer more choices of finishes, options, and attention to small details than anyone else out there. To that end, custom inductions are created here without limits.
The combination of finishes that you can select from allows you to create a one-off assembly to suit your taste and set your car apart from the rest when the hoods are open. I guarantee that when you open yours, nobody will walk by and yawn. Jaws will drop, photos will be taken, and questions will be asked.
Colors and finishes are whatever you want them to be. You can supply any paint code for color-matching to your car or engine color.
All custom colors have an acrylic urethane clear coat. In some applications, such as the simulated dichromate colors, the clear is applied with a flattener.
Manifolds may be ordered polished, bright ceramic coated, or chrome plated. We can also polish your carburetors or throttle bodies.
Our optional chrome hardware packages provide additional detail. All screws, springs, tabs, levers, linkage pieces, fuel blocks, plugs, bolts, and nuts can be chrome-plated to complete the customized look, particularly on painted assemblies.
Black fittings, black braided hose, clear fuel fittings, or chrome-plated Fragola fittings may also be ordered.
We offer custom anodizing of your aluminum components in any color you desire.
A variety of velocity stack heights and styles are also available, along with special linkages designed to make any type of installation easier.
Below are photos showing some finished units and detail photos of some of the options. Click on any of the images to see the blowups.
One of our popular options is black anodizing. This can be done on any aluminum parts, such as the fuel rails and air horns as seen here. The effect is greatly enhanced by polishing the components before we send them to be black anodized. This closeup shows some of the detailing on an all-black LS3 semi Cross-ram that also has black anodized fuel rails.
This LS3 EFI was built for Bruce Conwell's 49 "WIckcad" Cadillac. We color-matched the throttle bodies to his engine's color theme, ceramic-coated the manifold, and added 4" tall air horns.
Customization doesn't have to cost extra money, as seen here. This is our standard Ford 427FE Weber-type fuel injection unit with our optional (no extra cost) 3-1/2" stacks. If you have the hood room, taller stacks completely change the appearance of any EFI. Built for Frank Micknak.
One of our popular options is a color labled as Sunlit Gold. We developed this color based on an old Ford factory color from days past. When a customer needs a neutral accent color, Sunlit Gold is the perfect choice. It's a beautiful neutral color that goes with anything, and as shown here, it looks especially nice on a polished manifold. This SBC Weber 4x48IDF assembly was built for LoMan Hot Rods.
Ford unit on a custom manifold with carburetors and manifold finished in basecoat/clearcoat Argent Silver. What sets this unit off is the subtle color with all other parts chrome plated...a beautiful look. Built for Peter Ferrer.
We built this tall-stack LS3 fuel injection unit for Richard Linsmeier with Weber-style throttle bodies painted Brandywine to match his car. This asdsembly is mounted on a bright manifold with 2" risers added for additional height, with chrome 5" velocity stacks to make sure it comes through his hood. The 5" wide-mouth stacks seen here fit the Weber carburetors and Weber-style throttle bodies.
Any of our EFI's can be ordered fully polished as a $2990 option. Full polishing includes every small part of the assembly and chrome plating of all metal parts. If you require the ultimate custom induction system as seen on Riddler Award contenders and ISCA show cars, we'll be happy to build one for you. Because of the waiting period for polishing, the lead time for ultra-show units is generally about 12-16 weeks. We use the best polisher in the country and there's always a long waiting line for their work. As you can see, the polishing looks just like chrome and is second to none.
Shown here is a smallblock Chevy conventional-style EFI with standard 2" air horns.
"Triple Black" on Crossram
Crossram with "Triple Black" finish and brushed nickle hardware, built for Chuck Brewer, in Ohio. Manifold finish is Stealth Black ceramic, carburetor finish is satin black, done in house. Velocity stack finish: Transluscent black powder coat over chrome (called "Black Chrome"). Fuel lines use black hose with black fittings by Redhorse.
This crossram unit was done for a deuce coupe in Florida owned by Norm Gavin.
All trim is chrome and the manifold was polished smooth before it went out for ceramic coating. This photo also shows the DCOE debris screens in stacks.
Bright Ceramic Coated manifold
A lot of customers ask for a polished manifold, but polished aluminum turns dull in a few years. An option is a bright ceramic coating over a manifold that's been totally smoothed to a #400 grit finish. Ceramic coating will stay looking nice for years, but it's not as bright and reflective as a polished manifold. Ceramic coating is an excellent compromise that provides a long-lasting decorative finish.
The manifold shown here came to us as a Weber carburetion restoration. This was a crusty old manifold in cast finish with years of baked-on grime.
Weber Carb Velocity Stack Options
Our Weber carburetion systems are available with a variety of velocity stack choices. Some are aluminum, which can be ordered in a spun finish or we can have them chrome plated for you.
This shows the 32mm 48IDA stacks that are a necessity for Daytona Coupes. These require us to have the booster venturis cut down on a lathe, so this package comes with the cut-down boosters. The 32mm stacks come in polished finish and they lower the height of the assembly by one inch. The one shown here is for a Ford 351W in a Cobra Daytona Coupe. This assembly can be built as Weber carburetion or Weber-type EFI. They both look the same.
These polished billet stacks are not for everybody at $925 per set, but if you're building a serious show car, they are handmade...not a standard production part sitting on the shelf. They come with screens, as shown.
