What model number is this intake?

[80' 427]

Sorry jake on board with Martin on this. If it was the biggest baddest intake ever they would still make them. I know for the time they were good but I will put my victor against it anyday.

Do you see any manufacturer still making an intake like that? Do you think that that straight runner, and then an abrupt turn into the cylinder head flows well???

Martin

probably about as well as a cylinder head intake runner dumping into a combustion chamber, with a valve in the way.....

I know full well that there are better manifolds. I wouldn't throw one away though.

Either way, it's junk.

Martin

That's some first class feedback right there.


While it may not be cutting edge anymore it would still be better then stock cast iron. But, as Scott has pointed out, it's designed for high RPM applications and will make less HP and torque at lower RPM other manifolds available.

I wouldn't take my stock, cast iron intake off to install one.

Yup, it probably is a bad match for most any 4x4 daily driver, as was explained in the last couple of post.

Me either, even if it is a light weight track car. Well unless I was going for a period correct "look".

Or for any engine, in any application. The lone exception being for a period correct look.

Thanks for the input.
