Ryan Falconer Intakes, Manifolds and other goodies

[Scott205]

I have been looking around for a really hot intake for my Fiero, been it would be great to make more power, say 300 HP, like those off road trucks used to make.

From that shoebox idea, and the Chevy 60 degree Power manual, I tried to find out more about some of those manifolds that could have the triple-weber carb set up, or the picture of the fuel injector one with the bells going to the sides. After quite a bit of work I discovered all those were made for GM through Falconer Engines. The same people that made that 750hp 2v 2.8L V6 on this site. Anyway, i found out the manifold I liked so much run $1700 and $2000 brand new, but they have discontinued them. But they offered to sell me everything for the 60 degree V6s in one lump sum. Anyone interested in there products? Anyone want to invest?

Post a list on what they have. I know I might very well be interested for my builds.

Agreed if I see specs or pics I would be in.

[Scott205]

Ok, all i have is a rough list, but the basics are 10-12 intake & manifolds, castings, blueprints, along with a few oilpans, cams, and other accessories. Most of these apparently were built for there EFI systems. He would also include for me the patterns and specs so that a machine shop could produce more. There is one other item that i was specifically looking for, an adapter for a triple weber setup for the aluminum head, but i should be able to produce those later if i have all the stuff.

They basically want to concentrate on there V8, V12, Indy engines, and keep selling there older 90degree v6 items for the 4.3L, 3.8L.

More details later.

I am guessing $5k easy for everything woudl be their asking price. Just a guess though

Damn, I'd be in for the blueprints and maybe the castings. Let me know.

[donk_316]

No they are asking for $6000 for everything including blueprints and castings.

I think if anyone gets the blueprints, it should be someone from the site (ie, me or Ben), so that we can do something with them. I'm sure there are some copyrights and such to them, but I am sure we could work something out with them about it.

[Scott205]

If i can find the financing i am seriously giving good thought to buying them. They would have the jigs, specs and blueprints and give me a right to reproduce them as I wished. I am not sure how much I could modify that but it would be great to have just the numbers on the camshafts and flow on the intakes. I will let you know more as I figure it out.

[Scott205]

OK, I just can't take the risk of not having a job in a few months, so I am going to pass on buying the whole manifolds, parts, plans and jigs, although I am still highly considering a manifold and cam. If anyone is interested and knows machine work or just wants into the business, the current offer is for 6K, write him at rfre@sbcglobal.net or if you want a specific part ask away. For those of you who don't know, they were the people who were building all the intakes for 60degreev6 off road, IMSA and other racing engines through GM.

I talked to ryan falconer about 5 weeks ago and he told me $1500 for the 2 piece intake with the individual butterflies. We didn't speak on the oil pan but i want one.
