Dual vs. single plane slant intake and other build questions
This looks to me like a really smart 4bbl intake design for the Slant. Most others (Offenhauser, Clifford, Weiand, etc.) have the two centre runners (#3 and #4) running directly from the plenum into the head. The obvious problem there is that the inner cylinders get fed more than the outer cylinders. This intake seems designed specifically to provide even mixture distribution.
