    while perusing for sbc induction possibilities I happened across this fine example of wretched excess,
    I had no idea such an animal existed

    I saw a guy run a 4x4 intake like that on a ford drag car, ran good at idle and full throttle, not much inbetween.

    I looked at that exact same intake at the Chickasha, OK swap meet a few months ago. It's just a sheet metal adapter on a Corvette dual quad. The guy said he had never run it, but the guy he got it from was running it with two of the carbs blocked off.

    I think he wanted $1000 for it...pretty cool, but not THAT cool. [​IMG]
     
  8. That looks awesome but like Blownolds said...a grand is steep!

    thought it had a home made flavour to it

    nobody in their right mind would actually produce something like that

    it's gotta have 2000 cfm capabilities [​IMG]

    "If you build they will buy it"some people just don't get it. It looks like it should be on one of those 70's show only cars

    I saw one like that for a 430 Lincoln back in the 60's, but gas was 23 cents a gallon too.

    I've seen a 3x4 before, but never a 4x4.
    Craziest intake I've seen in person was
    an old Horne, it had 4 strombergs in each
    corner with a 4barrel in the middle.
    Was at a swap meet not running, the guy
    just brought it to show, but mentioned he
    might let it go for around $600.00.
    He thought it might have been a test model,
    or one off. Anyone ever seen one of those?
    Oh, and it was for an Olds. Yorgatron, know
    anything about it?
