i got one no pics at the moment though, sorry... i paid $250 with 2 afb's and 2 4 hole enderle styl scoops back in the early-mid 90's sucks to see what ebay has done to prices in hot rodding

 

Hello:

Which of these two SBC M/T cross rams would be the more "Streetable"?

Thank You.

 

holy mackeral! that's gotta be the only right hand drive bubble top 409 in the world!

 

Those scoops are Cal-Custom model 40-40's....

 

That bubble top is fantastic. Mine was blue with a 6 stick. There was also a white with red interior one here locally with a 283 and PG.

 

I havea m/t crossram for a fe. Do you have more info. on distributor? thanks

 

The one with the smallest plenum area.

 

Old and really rare. If you intend to score one of these you'll need a large pile of lettuce>>>>.

 

Heres another rare cross ram, Edlebrock X4 for BB chev, Takes six 94/97's

 

What carbs fit on a M/T cross ram?

 

I have been running a 350 with a M/T cross ram for 8yrs now I started with two Carter AFB off a 409 but had issue running rich I now use two edlebrock1405 that are jetted down. It runs great (after 2 yrs of tunning) Idles around 800rpm. Ran high 11's in 1/4mile in 77 c-10 but is going in a 68 camaro now. I have pic of set up email me if want more info.

 

The factory teamed up with Smokey Yunick on a crossram for trans-am racing. This was also offered to the public I believe by Edelbrock; The Smokey Ram. This is the one I would try to find if it were for a 301, just seems right.

 

Nelson, here on the HAMB had one for sale, don't know if he still has it.
had Mickey Thompson cast into it.

 

------------------------------------------------
M/T made cross rams for 265-327 small block
plus 409 and 396-427 big block Chevies,
326-428 Pontiacs, and 221-302 small block
and FE big block Fords. As far as I know M/T
never made a cross ram for Mopars as Chrysler
already had that market covered with their
factory Max-Wedge and Hemi cross rams, and
that M/T more or less duplicated for the other
makes.

The Mopar "Rat Roaster" intake you mentioned
was a 426 Hemi piece made by Edelbrock and
came with two tops - one for the stock inline
AFB carb setup and another top for 2 staggered
Holley 4-bbls.

The other Mopar intake - the one with the
"tri-power" top plate for 3 Holley-2bbls was
an Offenhauser intake and available for
383-400 B and 413-426-440 RB wedge engines.
It was sort of a cross between a traditional
X-ram and a kind of low-rise tunnel-ram style
intake. It was mostly intended as an NHRA-legal
Super Stock intake. Besides the aforementioned
3-2bbl Holley top, it was also available with tops
for a single 4-bbl., 2-4bbls and 3 -2bbl Webbers!

Standard-flange Holley and AFB 4-bbls.

Smokey Ram setting on my truck's 355. Just thinking. Put on an Offy 360 instead. Keeping the Smokey Ram for something special.
