    Has anyone ever seen different Chrysler Hemi Weiand Drag Star 6x2 intakes?
    I have one that is marked WC6 and one that is marked C6
    The logo is different on both and the cross over tubes spacing is not the same.
    It should work with a bend in the cross over tube hoses but would be nice if it was a straight hose hookup.

    Here's a better photo that shows the cross over tube alignment. Anyone seen these before?

    The logo in this catalog photo is different than both of mine. Big difference with both of mine is the misalignment of the cross over tubes. One is marked C6 and one is marked WC6. Also the C6 side had 2 sets of carb stud holes so carbs could be mounted forward or backwards. Boat?

    Maybe one is for '51-56 and the other for the tall block '57-58 392"?

    All the Chrysler 331, 354, 392 manifolds fit the same. The head mounting surface is lower on a 392 head to compensate for the taller deck. It would not matter on a split manifold anyway.

    Any Hemi guy's out there that can shed some light on these different Chrysler Hemi Weiand Drag Stars?
    One side is a WC-6 and the other side is a C6. Cross over tubes do not line up.

    The pic from the catalog is clearly a different log manifold. I don't know much about Hemi drag stars , but I ran into a olds DS that had long runners like your a couple weekends ago. I never scene one quite like it. Mine is like the catalog pic right on top of the runner. Looks like one set of tubes will line up..

    This is the high rise version. The catalog shows the more commom low rise. Here are a couple of more photos. Notice the different logos and one marked WC-6 and one C6 ??? Someone must have seen this before. Where are the Hemi guys???

    The casting looks legit. I can only ***ume it is a prototype that should have been recycled but someone took it home.
