Hey I've heard of adaptors to fit Chevy intakes to LA engines. Can anyone share any info about this please? I want to fit some vintage Enderle stack injection to a 360. Cheers

I'm sure plenty of you have seen these, but they do look sooo kool. Saw them on a middle 60s B Body at Pismo. Of course there is nothing like reaching for the little squirt bottle of gas conveniently resting in the box on the firewall to prime the injectors

Back in the '70's, Ed Hamburger's "For 340's & 360's only" had adapters to install small block Chevy intakes on a small block Mopar. This was when there was a limited variety of "good" Mopar-specific intakes available. But he's been out of business and I don't know of any other sources.

Where did the spacers come from ? Made them yourself?

Weld a valley pan to the adaptor plates.
This is an old pic, I believe the Mopar distributor will clear the chevy intake.
If not, the chevy intake can be clearanced as the valley pan will seal the engine and stop hot oil from splashing on the intake, sort of like having an "Air Gap" insulating system.

Yes, about 20 years ago I had a local machine shop make the adaptor plates. I was gonna do the ports and bolt holes/threads but, like many projects, I never finished these.

Cheers Brother. The dimensions will allow me to knock some up. I had looked into the intake ports and figured a tiny clean up with the die grinder and they're good to go.

Tony Marculawicz had a Koffels Place 340 R block running a chevy intake manifold in his 72 Duster. Mopar Muscle Magazine had an article on it in June of 99. He ran a 8.82 @155.82 in the King Of The Street series.

No life got in the way LOL. But I just bought a Chinese knock off Hi Rise with injector bosses and the ports need a visit to the die grinder so I suspect its based on Chevy port spacing.
thats a cool adapter there , chevy stuff is so much less cost wise and way more of it , in fact thats what prompt me to make this adapter , put a chevy ign in your early hemi or poly or la . this adapter bolts in place and than you drop that chevy unit in after a small mod to it . and it locks up tighter than you can get that 'y' clamp .
