Thread: intake manifold

Tweet

I see in the new Speedway magazine that Demon sells a kit that allows you to put on 3 Demon 98 3 bolt carbs on your standard 4 barrel intake with a special adapter. Wouldn't this be restrictive on a dual plane intake?

I would think that a setup like that would mess up the signals to the end carbs.

id like to run there 4 port intake

Here's a picture of the intake I was talking about.

It seems like it would be on the same principle as using a funnel Maybe two of those on a Tunnel Ram?

ahh just use a predator

Denny, they don"t show the picture of the bottom. It's probably the same as your dual plane intake with the adapter fitting over the opening.

pretty sure the flow on that thing would be bad enough to leave a small animal gasping for air!!!!!! I guess if you're looking for a cheap way to run 3 deuces it would be functional, but that's about it.... To me it shows the potential for a few different areas where the fuel will puddle and the air will be turbulent...then eventually take a hard right and proceed down the intake runners..... IMO be a lot better off saving a few more bucks and get an intake that is designed for multiple carbs....

Looks like a poser configuration to me.

Here's a better picture of the intake and carbs.

Nope, it sure doesn't make it for me...especially for that kind of price!!!! I'd say get a real tri-power intake and put 3 well built Rochesters on it!!!! Way less money and works way better I'm sure..... Just isn't any way the intake charge is going to stay as a mist like it should... The fuel is going to puddle up in all those corners, and the air is going to be nothing but turbulant...

A good intake with a big Rochester in the middle and the small one on the ends will look better and work better!!!!

Heck yes, they still sell the intake manifolds brand new, and the Rochester 2 bbl carbs are a dime a dozen in rebuildable condition!!!!!! Any questions on setting up the Rochesters, might want to check with Mike P..--- He's sharp on getting the mult-carb stuff done!!!!

I'm going to have to go with Dave and Richard on this..... both from the looks department and and the way it will likely run.

Try www.exeterautosupply.com

Heck, a brand new Edelbrock 3-2 intake is under $300.00.... With some searching the carbs and kits can be had cheap....
