Carroll still has that '55. He also has a fiberglass prototype tunnel ram Vic Edelbrock sent him for testing. He let Vic take the '65 Corvette FI intake he had made into a tunnel ram before the were comercially available. Edelbock cut Carroll's manifold up for some reason, instead of returning it. They gave him a new tunnel ram instead. He wasn't happy. When they sent him the plywood and fiberglass intake for testing, he kept it. Told Vic he "had to cut it up to test it". He still has it. Butch Lake also had a Corvette FI intake made into a tunnel ram on his '55 panel modified production car, also Ralph Ridgeway had one.
