I ordered a billet intake with intercooler from Hogan's back in January. It's finally finished and on its way to me. I might have to drive around with the hood off now. Can't wait to install it and get the car retuned.

Hogan's are a thing of beauty and yours is over the top! I had mine made to fit under a stock 1965 hood.

It abused the hell out of my wallet. The worst part is that another very well known company wanted more than double to do the same thing. I contacted them first and had a serious case of sticker shock. I contacted Hogan's and while still expensive it was less than half of what the other company quoted. So this work of art cost as much as a certain 600HP BBC that you can purchase. Another company wanted more than double that. So that would be two 600HP bigblock Chevy's compared to one intake manifold. Crazy!

That thing is beautiful! Looking forward to seeing it installed too. They're building me one now. It's a Dart Cast Tunnel Ram, A2W on top with a forward fabricated top for a BBC. They actually had the lower in on trade. Pretty good deal on it. I abuse my wallet as well.

Look at his signature:
'69 Camaro - 429 SBC Dart Iron Eagle 9.325" block, Crower crank, Crower 6" Billet rods, Ross pistons (10:1), Total Seal S/S rings, AFR 245 heads, T&D steel rockers, Cloyes Timing Set, 4-7 swap solid roller 274/286 @ .050", .704" lift, Dart single plane, Dominator EFI, Stef's #1705R pan, F2 Procharger on E85
That's a bunch of fuel being stuffed in there.

Nice to finally put my hands on this thing! It is a beauty! Unfortunately they left a couple of bungs out that I need to read boost and intake temps. No big problem. I'm just glad to finally have it in my possession. Oh, and the T-shirts are too small. I'm 6-3" 230 pounds, and XL is a bit snug on me. Oh well!

Looks very clean.... is any of it coated (or do you plan on coating it) so it'll stay looking that way? As far as the T-shirt, give it to the wife as a nighty....

Been out of town for awhile and it's surprising how much of Montana has no cell service. The car has an F2 Procharger and currently runs on E85 with methanol injection to help keep the intake temps down. The methanol helps but I really needed an air to water intercooler. I built the car to run 8.50's even at high elevation. While the manifold was being built it didn't cost any more for the second set of injector bungs. That way If I feel like trying for 7's I can run methanol and crank it up. The engine was built to handle 2,000HP and I'm not even close to that right now.

Not currently coated. I'm going to check with Hogan's on coatings. Not sure if it needs it or not. I do want it to continue looking as it does now. Thanks!

Took the manifold apart to start installing fittings and sensors. They put the holes in the bottom of the plenum with bungs so they would be hidden and have plenty of thread engagement. The different sections are sealed with o-rings which make it nice. Need to make sure everything is clean before I put the manifold on. I think I'll install the lower first and then install the intercooler and lid last. Less weight to handle and I can verify the port alignment. As for cleaning, they said just wipe it down with a rag and carb cleaner.
