Re: Need a new Toy?

[Stan Kafouse <skafouse@xxxxxxxxx>]

So... how tall is this "tunnel ram"?   Carb and air cleaner will take  what eight inches themselves? Plus clearance so engine can torque over and not hit hood. Is it an individual runner or common plenum? Those short runners will have no bottom end, and if manifold is any good at all will flow more than any poly head ever did. Got a cam and convertor to match intake? Sounds neat, dont think it will work, cept for some wow factor.
