Cross Ram for the 392
It seems to me, I've seen a Cross Ram manifold, similar to the ones used on the 426 (2x4), offered for the 392 series engines. Can anyone confirm this, or am I just dreaming.
Thanks

Dont feel alone....many have dreamed of a 2x4 cross ram for early hemis. The only production pieces I have seen are the early Weiand 6 x 2 crossram, or (as an add on) the Offenhauser bolt on adapters.
Some guy did come up with this one tho. Vic Jr. said he doesnt remember his dad ever making one.

Early hemi to late sb Mopar trans adapters. Precision billet parts for early hemis.

I wish that somebody would start making intakes for them again. As in corss rams(that be killer), nice single plain four barrel, and a Performer RPM style would be bad to the bone too.

Hot Heads' manifold is a dual plane design, and is very similar to an Edelbrock Performer RPM Air Gap manifold. I have one on my 392 and am very happy with it. The Hot Heads manifold with a Holley 750 vacuum secondary carb was 2 tenths of a second quicker in the quarter than the Weiand dual 4 manifold with two Edelbrock 600 carbs. Guess which one went to Ebay!

I have no doubt the single four was quicker....1200 cfm is usually overkill even for a 392....cool looking but too much.....
No criticism...just my experience...

Yeah, the dual four setup was great eye candy, but lacking in performance. I had the setup tuned to where it ran really good, no bog whatsoever, and with the progressive linkage and 3.23 rear gears the Cuda got 15 mpg cruising the interstate at 75 mph. I probably should have kept the setup in case I decide to stop racing the car and just cruise it.

Killer, I think that the single plane unit is a big tunnel ram intake or is it not from Hot Heads? I was just stating that a single four barrel single plane would be nice. I didn't realise that the Hot Heads four barrel was like a Performer RPM. I thought it was just a stock intake, other than it was aluminum of course.
