Will this Aussiespeed intake fit with A/C?

[timk225]

If I don't find a good OEM Super Six assembly and BBD carburetor, I was thinking of going with this Aussiespeed intake. Slant 6 2 barrel intake short runner 2 piece as0199/as0214 | Aussiespeed Street & Racing Products Australia or the Slant 6 Chrysler Aussiespeed 2 Barrel Short Runner Manifold 1 Piece Suit Holley or Weber Downdraft Carb AS0570 | Aussiespeed Street & Racing Products Australia .

And a 350 Holley 2 barrel carburetor, as it should be more flexible to tune than a BBD. I initially thought of using the long runner version of the intake, the AS0023, but I am concerned it if would be hitting the power disc brake / master cylinder assembly or getting in the way of the factory V2 AC compressor. I presume the short runner intakes will fit the AC and brakes booster / master cylinder with no problems?

Maybe read back thru this thread before you decide that Aussiespeed/Holley 350 idea is a good one.

An alternative likely to work better for you and certain to clear the compressor: make your own 2bbl intake. See the parallel 2bbl setup article. Photo documentation of a very well done such conversion is here, and there's a nice pictorial on modifying a 1bbl intake here.

i found that the long runner 4bbl inlet on a hemi 6 vibrated on the top of the front shock....
presume on a slant you won't have that problem unless its a very very long runner...

that gives you an idea of the fore and aft position at least... the slant of your slant 6 should assist a lot in this respect.

id suggest a triple carb manifold would be the type that causes problems the back weber or SU air cleaner may well hit things on the bulkhead and the front one may well get very close to the battery ( it does on my car) or indeed anything bolted up high driven from the crank.

and as with them all you can more or less bet that the runners are a bit fat and the D washers won't fit on the studs with the inlet in the correct position. a little bit of attention to the back radius of the D washer and some rotary tool work on the inlet could be necessary

even so i do like an aussie speed manifold. they do seem to care....

just wish they would do a weber one as an different choice instead of the redline one, which has had the middle carb crooked 1-2mm lower on the left side on the Hemi 6 version on just about every casting for 20+ years...

which is just poor.. what do ya do? tig weld it up and re stud?

hence a little bit of work for aussie speed satisfaction is not too big a deal
