Legendary induction system builder Jim Inglese of Jim Inglese Weber Carburetion has come up with a way to dress up a Ford Coyote installation with a killer set of Weber 48IDA carburetors and provide the 8-pack of stacks to fit under (or through) the hood of your hotrod. If you’ve got $4,600 to invest in your machine, then these pipes might be just the engine candy for your ride.
Inglese has the manifolds produced for him, and he’s able to set the system up with either the Webers or a set of eight throttle bodies; however, he does not supply any of the tuning to go with the EFI designs.
“The Coyote does lose the variable timing camshaft. That does provide the builder with an opportunity to run the camshafts in a fixed position, which might cost a few horsepower, but givesthe end-user with a system that’s completely different from anything else out there. If the customer has enough clearance they could conceivably fit under the hood,” Inglese explains.
“A system like this is a matter of someone looking for a real exotic-look design. We use the Weber 48IDA, which is the big daddy carburetor that I use on all of the various designs I work with,” continues Inglese. “They are modular carburetors, and you can change the throat in the carburetor to flow more or less air if necessary. Any good-quality fuel pump is going to work, as the carburetors require consistent volume. They only run on 2.5 to 3 pounds of pressure, and you’ll always run a 0-4 pound regulator with them.”
Ford’s Coyote engine has been a revelation in the performance industry: a quad-cam, four-valves-per-cylinder engine that’s available for a reasonable price to kit car builders and hobbyists alike. With a street price of just over $6,100, it’s ripe for an installation into any hot project. Now there’s a totally unique look for that Coyote-powered project.
