New Mopar Intake approval

James L Miller · 07-24-2017, 04:25 PM

Paul, my intake measures about 8.7" across at the rail (straight across, not on the diagonal along the valley rail). I have a B engine Hogan intake and it measures about 7.4" straight across. The Hogan has raised but has wide but short ports, so whatever heads they fit were extensively modified. The Weiand intake looks unmodified except for the popsicle sticks.

I'm pretty sure Weiand didn't make a 2/4 top. single dom and 3/2s only for the high block. With the fixes to the intake Chrysler did, the manifold worked quite well. Certainly not to be confused with the 2/4 tunnel ram in first post. Lookout you could be stirring up the wild dogs on this site about alumium Mopar intakes.

I was just jumping on Adger's post about the tunnel ram feeding him some straight lines so he could land the punch line. Bah-dum-dum!

I'll be here all night and don't forget to tip your waitress.

Recently approved cast iron SBC intake.

Legal for 1955 and up on anything that was originally equipped with a 4bbl carburetor. It's cast iron, has a Chevy part number and was available over the counter. Plus, it was OEM on Volvo-Penta marine engines.

Why should the Fords, MoPars and Ramblers have all the fun, right ????

They made these manifolds in aluminum too!

That's a nice looking intake. It looks like it should flow as well as the LD340. Can the Mopar guys use that intake with some adapter plates and a 440 ThermoQuad? I guess all these replacement parts will eventually raise the HP factor on those combos. Sort of like the replacement heads. My thing is just being able to find a part to run the car. I still haven't found a 273 4bbl intake that fits the later heads. A friend has one that fits the early heads.
