Dave edit: Weiand did, and others may have, made low deck Desoto intakes that could be also machined to fit the tall deck Dodge engine.[/QUOTE] Although I have a 330 and am aware of the two different deck heights, I’m confused as to what is the required machining to do this. Can you expand on this for me, the simpleton? Thanks!

Thanks![/QUOTE]There's a pic of one in one of the Tex Smith books. The intake bolts zig zag differently and the flange that bolts to the heads have a difference in angle. They made the rough casting thick enough to be machined for either the high deck Dodge or the low deck DeSoto when machined. The intake bolt pads are cast so that either bolt pattern can be drill while finishing it.
