Whats the difference between the Weiand Drag Star 6X2 and the EDelbrock X-3 6x2 manifolds? I know the visual differences,but what about performance? Any info? Thanks a lot!!!
I've heard that the edelbrock is a little kinder on the street due to the longer runners, but I've got no evidence to prove it. They're both kick ass and I'm hoping I find either real soon.
The Drag Star is a "log" type manifold meaning it is actually a 2 piece manifold; a right bank and a left bank. These are bolted to each head and connected by equalizing hoses from side to side. Lots of tuning problems. These manifolds were more plentiful than the Edelbrock you ask about. If the Edelbrock X3 is the one I am thinking you refer to it is a "regular" intake as it is of one piece design. It is of a crossram design with a common plenum and did not see a high production number made. This one runs better on the street just by design. Pretty rare actually. Are you building a hemi?
Yep...just bought a '53 Chrysler 331 for my 1930 Ford 5W coupe. THe set-up is a Muncie and a 9" to work with it... Been lookin for intakes... thanks for the info...
mine was converted to dual quads, runs so good I'm looking for a 2 duece conterpart for a change. I run 465 cfm carbs on the street and 650's at the strip. pulls strong to 8,000 plus and runs clean at idle.
I bought the Edelbrock X-3 intake. I plan on using on my '53 Chrysler 331 ... Anyone with more info on the intake,cause all the Hemi Rods I see run the DRag star intake...
If it was the one on Ebay I wanted it real bad. But I didn't bid for some reason. I'm glad I didn't drive the price up on ya I got a kick ass deal on some chrome valve covers instead.
Yep...that was on E-PAY!!! ...was wondering if the X-3 will work with the 331 heads...(of course,Im also considering swapping heads...) ...just want more info on the piece!!! ps: I really like the look of the log intake better,but Im gonna drive the coup around ,here,in traffic,etc...so went for the more street friendly one,as stated above on the posts... ps2: THanks for not driving the price crazy!!! There werent many bidders...
