Like I always say...why do you put a corner anywhere in a system and if you do, what do you do with it?
It makes no sense from a performance standpoint. Corners are bad, and any intake with a bunch of corners in it is a loser.
Looks sorta like the latest nascar intakes. P7 included.
That’s where most American V-8 development money is going.
Geez these nascar intake very similar per manufacturer. There seems to be a restrictor and open motor version of each at minimum. The pics below are probably not apple to oranges.
Ford
Toyota
GM

I sure wish chrysler would have made spread port heads for the r/b wedge engines , then maybe they`d have bigger flow, closer to the rat heads , maybe even staggard valves .

The science of fluid flow dynamics is not new. The use of computer modeling to provide visual representation of the fluid flow has been used in aircraft and automobile design for a number of years. The Chrysler Airflow was the first use of fluid flow dynamics in automobile design. Chrysler also used fluid flow dynamics on intake manifold design which resulted in the Sonoramic (Long Ram) induction system and the shorter cross ram induction. I would like if they could get a hold of those two manifolds and apply the computer modeling to them to see how well the slide rule engineers accomplished their goals.
That’s the Predator head. You still have the 4.840 bore spacing issue, along with the power eating skirted block.
Those are Poly 318 Heads. They are a unique design for sure.Didn`t know that , kinda wild , too bad there werent more of them and for a smaller bore !-
How well do they flow ?
that bore size kinda sucks , why does the skirted block eat h.p. ?
You can’t get the oil off the crank with the skirts hanging down there. That’s was a HUGE flaw in the 99 Hemi. I know what work went into getting a pan on that thing that worked. And what a PITA it was to deal with.
