Not a breath of intake
 
I was looking to see if there was a new divisional schedule. I found this
"Chry 60-70 several intake manifold casting corrections" in the Tech department. Looks like they added some to other combinations. I think I only have one choice with a 440 4bbl. Maybe two or well maybe not now. Sounds like old news or they are short on viewing other Manufacture's superseded intakes.

Back to building the Challenger,

Anyone have a guess on how there are "casting number corrections" after 50 or 60 years? Where do these items come from? How do you "supersede" a part after 5 DECADES? :confused:

I have to "believe" that the Tech guys are bored just like the rest of us and looking for things to do. It has always surprised me that after 50+ years there are still a whole lotta blank spots in the guide. Some of them being blank for popular combos.

Great question! Personally I only look up the NHRA engine blueprints for the combination I'm running. We all know which heads and intakes are original to that pacific year. Well usually anyway. I've been running stock for most of those "50 or 60 years". I can't remember never seeing later year intakes and heads being excepted. I started reading mine in 1979 so before that is beyond me.
I can't look up ever 60-70 mopar combo. I looked up mine and nothing changed. Looks like 383 engine got an intake removed.

Self distancing in my garage,
