    Interesting air cleaner on this 273 Dual Quad

    4spdragtop asked: "So did you have your dual quad manifold drilled for magnum heads?" I have a new set of EQ Magnum heads that are drilled for LA intake manifolds. In the future- I will build a carbureted 360 to replace the OBD1 318 that's in the truck currently and the 360 will use the EQ...

    Interesting air cleaner on this 273 Dual Quad

    4spdragtop that is a great looking 273. The oOffy and probably the Edelbrock dual quad manifolds were specifically made for the 273 only. When the 318 came along it worked on those because the heads were the same. But no one tooled up and made a low profile under hood dual quad for the LA340...

    Interesting air cleaner on this 273 Dual Quad

    On my mini tubbed Dakota I recently did the intake manifold plenum plate re seal. While the keg was removed I set my Offenhauser dual quad on the 5.2 as well as a Weiand Tunnel Ram. The 273/318 Offy probably will work great with OEM Magnum heads. The Magnum heads have smaller intake ports than...

    Interesting air cleaner on this 273 Dual Quad

    The air cleaner assembly may have had great value by itself but cutting it up? Ouch!

    Interesting air cleaner on this 273 Dual Quad

    Neat set up. Edelbrock D64 manifold. Looks like a factory Hemi air cleaner assembly?

    Intake Manifolds

    Offenhauser never made a dual Pane intake manifold. Their low-profile manifolds are a split plenum single plane. Not the single plane design like a Victor or Torker either. 50s tech. They made a "Dual Port" which does not accomplish the claims Offy made. Offys Tunnel Rams and Port O sonic single...

    NEW Road House Movie.

    Too many attempts at humor with puns. Just like the Batman and Robin movie with Alicia Silverstone. Connor MacGregor played himself and its unbearable to watch.

    Magazine Builds

    Dyno runs are interesting and beneficial but I noticed sometimes the engine that makes the most peak power does not necessarily cross the finish line first. I like to use large displacement V8s as an example. Take the 440 six pack and the 455 Stage 1- vs the Chevy LS-6 454. The 440 and 455 had...

    Carl Weathers (Apollo Creed) passes at 76

    Many already knew that Apollo Creed was modeled after Muhamad Ali but many don't know Stallone wanted Apollo to have the Ken Norton physique. So much so he had Ken audition for the part. But Kens a boxer and Stallone was worried Norton would actually be dangerous to film scenes with. So, Wethers...

    Local Newsman Mispronounced Plymouth BADLY!

    Remember the old old Weiand Intake manifolds used to have cast in "Say Why-And." To this day I hear WeeLand and WeeLin. Personally I think the original lead singer of the Stone temple Pilots should make intake manifolds. His name is Scott Weiland

    Our hobby has a rich history with "Elder-Brock" carbs and intake manifolds.

    LOL!! EV range not only reduced in cold, ALSO reduced in HEAT!!

    I listen to a respected podcaster/auto repair tech who is a fanboy of all this BS. He was going on and on about how Hydrogen is the future and is so awesome.

    Remember when we were young and this was the look we were going for.

    It was a wonderful era for musclecars. I came into it in the mid 80s. I love the bias ply N50 15 look. Jacked up in the rear. Practical? No. But even as a 16 year old kid I was able to buy them new big tires- Formula 1 Superstocks and some 15x10 Cragar SSTs with air shocks. Ill take the day 2...

    LOL!! EV range not only reduced in cold, ALSO reduced in HEAT!!

    Many who defend EV and the technology respond to all the factual shortcomings with: "They will figure it out." Who are "They" For the past 5 years the best minds- not in the US but the best minds on THE PLANET have used billions maybe trillions of $$$ into solving all the problems with...

    Has anyone seen or used one of these

    Restaurants, stores and manufacturing facilities are short on workers. What workers do show up are not necessarily good. Everything from food to brake pads is hit or miss as far as availability.

    Wheel Fitment Simulator

    I bought one. Its not cheap. $100 plus. I have not ordered wheels yet but it looks like I need my 15x14 wheels with a 9.5" back space. Which means I need to have custom wheels made. Weld only goes 8.5" BS maximum. Rons Rims will make an American Torque Thrust D- 15"x14" with 9.5" BS. And yes...

    Header Choices

    Keep in mind the steel Dougs and TTI uses is heavier gauge and (higher quality?) than the cheap LOW HANGING typical header. This means when they rust it wont be the delaminating scaley crusty type of rust that the cheapos are legendary for.

    Header Choices

    I used the AutoZone discount to order Dougs headers back in 2018. Turns out there was a cap on the amount the discount applied to. In a nutshell= AutoZone with "fine print" discount came out the same as buying from Summit at regular pricing.

    Weiand intake question

    From a forum: Is your Model No. WDP 2Q or WPD 2Q?? According to my 1965 1/2 Weiand catalog - "Model No.WPD 2Q: Fits Plymouth and Dodge low block 361 and 383 cubic inch "B" series '59 - '65. Part No.7265............$92.50 " The manifold for the high block 413 cubic inch "B" series engines is a...

    Early 273 intake compatibility

    By research I mean reading what people who have used the Modman have encountered. On a typical street engine (typical?- 350-400hp ish) the power down low and in the midrange is not there. But that should not be a surprise when looking at the design. It sure does look fantastic and has the...

    Early 273 intake compatibility

    The ONLY option for a low profile dual quad intake manifold for the 340/360 LA head is the Modman. Unfortunately- while this intake looks great and is available new it places multi use design over function. At least naturally aspirated function. My research shows the Modman does not work well on...

    Early 273 intake compatibility

    66fs said: "It is not the port window itself, It is the runners up to the window. I would not run a small port intake on 340/360 heads." FYI- It looks like the 273/318 Offy dual quad being discussed here would appear to work on the MAGNUM heads. The 318/360 Magnum head intake port is...

    Hassle free lifetime guarantee, they say

    I have found I have no use for a flathead screwdrivers (maybe for a small prybar or scraper.) I look for the highest quality Phillips head and buy them individually. Blaines sells Klein brand. The retailer standing behind the warranty claim on the package you would think would be a no brainer.

    Does anyone have experience with this offenhauser 2x4 intake ?

    Indy makes an Intake manifold called The Modman. It has replaceable tops. One variation is the dual carburetor top. It LOOKS fantastic but simply is not a good manifold for a street engine. Its best variation is a roots blower top: This outdated link is just for visual reference only. FOR SALE...

    Does anyone have experience with this offenhauser 2x4 intake ?

    4spdragtop and his pictures explain it all. Although places may claim that Offenhauser will work on the 340 360 the pictures show reality. The manifold was designed for the 273. Then the 318LA came out and it works fine with the 318 (Uses a variation of the 273 heads.) The 340 comes out in 68...

    LA360 compression

    So its been determined the engine does NOT have KB107 pistons. Options are have him complete your engine as is and on budget. You then have a gutsy punchy responsive 360. Not 400hp but still a fun engine with perfectly round bores that seal and work well with a short duration cam. Other option...
