After buying the Charle Evans adapter intake plates I hear that you use a 383 intake when all this time I thought it was a 440. Which one is it?
If you have stock or street elimator heads you use 'B' block 383-400, if you have high port stage 3 use 440 intakes or 'RB'. I run stage2 SE heads and have a 383 Weiand tunnel ram. I had to port it to stage2 volumes. For a single plane the nice intake is the Victor or Indy. You'll have to run your own water thermostat housing.
I was thinking ahead on the water housing. I did see this. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=250414304175 I do not want to run a tunnel ram. Is there another Mopar intake that does not have the water cross over in the front? I was thinking of drilling an taping the rear part of the plates at the water ports and running return water lines so the heads will cool more evenly.
The Victor and the Indy are single plane single carb manifolds. Being for a mopar they do not have water built in. The plate is already tapped for water all you need to do is cut off the manifold area covering this water port.

I havn't seen it in a while but Indy use to make a huge air gap style dual plane for big inch motors. I was going to run that until I decided on the Pro-street theme.
I have a set of hi-port plates and there is a set on sale on this board now. Look in the "parts for sale". If I can not find the other type, I will make this set work. I would have had the "correct" set but some one did a last second bid. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Buic...d9bQQitemZ250426621339QQptZRaceQ5fCarQ5fParts
I'm not sure if he still has any made up but the last time I talked to him he did. Give me a PM and I can put you in touch with him. Jim Netherland
