Street. Current plans are to have it in a 60 El Camino.
that is super nice.Received McQuillen Blower intake manifold and installed it on a 348 block 3755011, stroked to 4.00, 6.385 rods, bored to 4.185 for 440 c.i. Installed Blower shop 6.71 blower with 2x4 holleys 600 cfm. Engine dyno by John Beck Racing. dyno results are torque @ 4800-5000 654 ft. and made 717 HP 6400 rpm on 91 octane pump gas. The Carl McQuillen intake fit perfect and we had no issues with the install. High quality of workmanship on the intake!!!
It would be nice to have one that could be trimmed to suit but I bet you guys have a real good idea of what is the best.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
Maybe I'm craup but would a cross ram set up make more sense to keep things under the hood? Basically build out rather than up. I'm more interested in finding a cross ram set up rather than a tunnel ram style set up myself. But M.T. only made so many of those odd balls.
To find a crossram....pricing pretty comparable......no real hp numbers.....would be nice to see an actual intake comparison of the available intake manifolds.....stock,eddy,crossram,speedport,McQuillen
