Very soon,
A peek at the top

I will be looking for one under the tree Friday.

Just a quick update for you guys...
We have finished machining all of the tops and the first intake is setup in the cnc machine. We will begin machining them on Monday. For any of you guys looking to purchase one of our new intakes, we have created an informal order form on our website, I will post a link below. It would be helpful to us if you guys could fill out this form for organizing purposes on our end. We will contact you for payment and shipping arrangements as soon as we have product on the shelf ready to ship.

Thank you for your patience.

Merry Christmas!!

Rob thanks for the update and our phone conversation on the above post and Merry Christmas from all of us at 409 Chevy Performance Engines

Yeah, what Jack said.....^^^

Will the 2x4 bl unit fit under a stock hood?

 

[Quickshift409]

Not with a air cleaner.

 

[BubbletopMan]

I got mine to fit, after I machined an extra .250" off of the top plate. That opened up another can of worms with that recess in between the carbs. I also had to get creative with the air cleaner I picked.

Do you have a picture of it??

 

[BubbletopMan]

I'll try to get a better one this weekend. Everything I have is focused on something else in the engine bay and not the intake.

Intakes are in currently in the machine, it will take some time to finish them but we look forward to shipping them to customers within the next couple of weeks.

Looking good!

Looks like a nice piece and good workmanship. Hat's off to you for it.

One question- runners look pretty short- that way to keep low for hood clearance? Seems longer ones-maybe not as long as some tunnel ram manifolds- would be a little better for torque curve using Pipemax or other programming for design.

 

[409Rob]

You are absolutely correct, the runners are the maximum length to allow this manifold to fit under a stock hood with some work. We have seen some significant performance gains over the stock intake even with these shorter than optimal runners. If the market was there, we could produce a taller version with optimized runners (several inches taller) but this would require hood modification-- what do you think?

Another sneak peek

I think that we need a single plane,single carb.intake for both large and small port heads.Why should the twin carb guys have all the fun?

I thought Aubrey had a couple of single plane 409 intakes available.

I have one , looks like he may have finally sorted out the production delays

They both have their place , and either will out perform the stock pieces by a wide margin, or Edelbrock also .
to my knowledge , the popular nostalgia racing sanctioning bodies require multi carburetion , so having this race only 2X4 is definitely the answer where that goes

Would love to have the optimised length runner tunnel ram............velocity stacks through the hood on a 409.........SALUTE

 

[jim_ss409]

A taller tunnel ram would be nice but it's hard to say how big the market would be.
