Indy mod man manifold opinions

[412 Stroker]

Was just reading my Mopar Action mag, (in the office) and noticed that they now make a mod man Intake for the LA engines, I know the idea is to have a manifold that can change from 1-4bbl, 2-4bbls or 6pac, but looking at the manifold there appears to be no runners, so what do you all think, can these work or make HP like a convential manifold, it would be interesting to see someone do a dyno test. Price on this thing is $500.00 seems pricey, so what do you all think anyone have one??

cant realy say alot about the performance of it but looking at it from the angle that its also a blower manifold for 500$ makes it look like the price is not all that bad

I've just bought one and imported it. It was expensive. Each top plate is an additional price to the base ( don`t quote me, but it was something like $500 for the intake and $130 for the top )

I bought it for use with a supercharger as I don`t know of another single plane Mopar LA supercharger inlet ?

It is well made and a quality piece

Would recommend it

Old thread, but anybody have any updated opinions of the mod man, specifically on a stroker engine?

Subscribing, I plan on a lower efi(5.7 new gen) and making a sheet metal box top for my throttle body. Should work with a large turbo setup with very little restriction. I hope anyways.

where can you order one of these, i want to get it sent to australia, i've had no luck with emails to the indy site, pete

From what I've experienced, customer service isn't a priority at Indy. You may have to stay up late and call them. Let them know you have a credit card and would like to place an order, that will get their attention. Good luck mate!

I've got a Modman for my 6-71 blower setup. I had to modify it some to get the dizzy to fit with it. It wasn't a big deal to do but they should tell you about such things before you buy it. All in I would say I have about $850 into mine not including taxes.

Ivd got newgen hemi jack. I don't know what a distributor is... j/k

I considering at Having a box made for efi on top of the lower to mine so I can keep my stock hood. Not a big hood scoop or cowl fan anymore. Kinda like the flat hood stock look to it. Make people wonder how much monster is lurking underneath.

On my '71 Demon setup I have an old "OFFY" 4bbl manifold welded for a 671 sitting on a R3 sm. block stroked to 440ci on E-85. The manifold works okay but am having A/F distribution issues. First, is a "dizzy" the distributor? What did you have to do to get it to fit?

Thanks for any help as I am looking to cure it with the Modman...no other choices out there (as you already know).

Hey Doug,

Yes, dizzy = distributor.

As far as the intake it was simple. I took the adapter plate to a machine shop and had them cut it off in the back about 3/8's to 1/2 inch. This gave the distributor the room it needed to clear the intake. You will notice that the intake has a concave cut in it so the dizzy will clear it.
The second problem I had was the mounting position of the blower on the intake/adapter plate. It made it so the dizzy did not clear the blower end plate. There are 2 options here. Move the blower forward or cut some of the end plate down. I did the end plate route. It may not be a problem with other blowers as the end plates are not all the same. Mine has some big ribs on it and that was were the clearance problem was. I ground a little off the ribs with a metal cutting die grinder. All is well now.
