Mystery B block intake....

I don't know for sure, but it almost looks like the equivalent to an LD340 for small blocks.
DP4B?
Just found a pic of mine for a 383. It is 2636149 from the look of it.

never re member
361, 383, 400
That last number looks like a 8
someone just milled or sanded off the Eddlebrock insignia
Thanks!
A member on FBBO said he thought it was a dead ringer for the Edelbrock CH4B. If it's the same intake then I figure Edelbrock manufactured it for Chrysler. I was looking at it [it's on ebay] for my 383, but I need low torque and the CH4B is a higher torque intake and is soft on the bottom end. The guy is asking $225 [obo] + $40 for shipping. It would be too salty for me anyway.
Last # s/b an 8....

And don't forget the 350 big block
Wrong, wrong wrong. The DP4B and Ch4B intakes are all about bottom end. This intake is a DP4B made for B block engines. (350,361,383 and 400) They are not for the RB engines. (413,426 wedge, and 440) These intakes are VERY good street intakes with lots of bottom end and flow to 5500 or so.

Do you mean the LD4B and the LD 340 small block intakes?
And don't forget the big block 350. It uses the same manifolds as the 361 383 and 400.
U da man Toolmanmike.

I corrected it. I got ahead of myself. I have sold so many LD4B's they are tatoo'd to my brain. LOL
I don't know...I just pulled the info from a Hot Rod test article on the 'net. The test was made on a stout 440. I would, like you, think that by the intake being a low profile unit that the torque would be low end.
That was on a 440. Can't assume the same results on a B series, similar yes. Besides, with a big block, even with a stock 4 barrel, you're gonna have plenty of torque to move you. The differences are mostly gonna be felt on the time slip
if you want a good street intake that allows room for growth, the Holley Street Dominator on a B series is pretty hard to beat. I had one on my 400, which later grew to 451 in my charger. Find one of them if you can would be my suggestion.
I made the ebay guy an offer on the intake.....I will keep the Domnator in reserve [in my mind]. I have an old '60's-'70's [?] Edelbrock Trantula TM6 on the motor now. When the rear gear gets changed from a 3.55 to a 4.11 I might be good to go with what I have...we'll see.

To me, the CH 4B is an alum version of the factory iron one. Or very similar. They are good for low and mid range torque. At High RPMS, the TM 6 would work better.
The Tarantula is a high rpm street/strip intake. If you are going with 4.10's I wouldn't be concerned about low rpm power. What is your combination and what are you trying to accomplish?
DP4B.. The CH4B is for the RB's
This the article? If so, you're reading way too deep into the soft comment. Especially considering that was on a pretty much all out, 12.5:1 on race gas engine. That's a completely different animal and those manifolds are gonna have different results on a lower compression engine with different heads and cams.

2. Edelbrock CH4B
This intake has been out of production for years but retains a loyal following. Once Edelbrock’s premier two-plane intake, it also sold through Mopar’s Direct Connection program back in the day and is well remembered by old-time Mopar enthusiasts. We borrowed this one from local Mopar bud Harry Gicesare. The CH4B is similar in look and layout to the stock intake, and is a relatively low profile design. The numbers showed a substantial improvement compared to the stocker over most of the range tested, particularly higher up in the range. Interestingly, peak horsepower occurred very high in the rpm range with the CH4B, equaled only by the new Victor. It tended to favor higher rpm performance and was kind of soft at the bottom of the range. The averages were quite good among the other two planes, well ahead of the stocker. No wonder people remember this as a good intake.

It was sold over the counter at Chrysler dealers. Chrysler part number so it was legit for drag racing.
