Thread: Edelbrock cross ram Manifold.... .X-C96

Tweet

Love the ol cross rams intakes. I've never had the pleasure of owning one but I've had my share of tunnel rams and low profile dual quads on the street, for myself and customers. On T-rams 450 Holleys work great with sb and bb, 600 Holleys on a more radical bb. Low profile Edelbrock dual quads, they rec 600 for bb applications but I've had better street-ability with their 500 carbs. They were rebuilt 468 pump gas stock o-port head rats, cams around .575 lift,,,,just kruzers.

Hello I just dynoed my 498 with the X-C96 yesterday 625 horse 575 torque. at 3700 it was making 559 for torque . i also compared it to a team g intake with a 1050 dominator team g made more power but average numbers it was 1 hp above the cross ram . For a 1 horsepower I'll take the wow factor with the x-c96. My build is a solid street roller not the biggest but idles at 10 inches of vacuum and is a dual quad that starts with a simple turn of the key . I put 1200 miles on this motor before having a oil pick-up issue . motor repaired and it purrs like a kitten at 11 to 1200

A few simple things to do to make the intake drive well don't go overboard on carbs mine has a set of 500 hundreds 56 jets in front and a stock plate set in back mechanical secondaries . you also have to balance the left and right side temporary i used some heater hose and fitting between the two banks accessing the blow out plugs . solid roller cam 247/257 @50 pulls to 6200 and will run more

I am working on a bb build for my 70 chevy truck. I have a crossram on the shelf and have a few questions. What heads are you running, What lift cam, who's 500's. What compression and c.i. .
