Easier to cut apart with a bandsaw..
Easier to weld back together and hide the welds.
But then...someone out there already knows this...

Mark, it has been done many times on both aluminum and cast iron intakes. As a matter of fact, it is easier to find out if an aluminum intake has been cut and welded than a cast iron intake if you know how to inspect it and what to look for.

Check !

I just said it may be easier.

Anyone own a foundry? Maybe we should just cast our own heads, blocks and intakes?

If there is any logic in this,
Yea, Why not allow the Z-28 cross ram and the 1967 L-88 427??
Has Jeff Lee been doing Copy and paste on this like was done on the AMC's? Maybe someone will get around to the paperwork for the cross ram and the '67 L-88, someday.
I just don't see a legal manifold that the carb will not fit. OH, fit without machine work.

Don't get me started on the 67 L-88. Since the new factory race cars don't have to meet the old "50 built and sold through regular dealers to the public" rule, the 67 L-88 should be back in the guide. With 36 sold through regular channels, it is closer than some of the combinations for the new factory race cars.

I don't disagree with Chuck's rules of "engagement", but this is bigger than that. There is no integrity in the rule book anymore. If it weren't for Billy and other purists I wonder what Stock Eliminator would be today.

Thank you Billy.

Not trying to stir anything up...just asking: Has Jerry MacNeish ever weighed in on this?

Hi Jeff. May be a dumb question, so back in the day, why did the LD4B and the LD340 get there factory part numbers placed on them? I guess there were obvious reasons.

[Jim Storms]

I guess while the topic is up , as a 340 owner myself and knowing the 2 aluminum intakes that have factory part numbers, not really knowing the other brands, did any of them receive alternative intakes back in the day?? Just curious!! Or was Edelbrock only sleeping with Chrysler engineers???....,,
