Dodge 6-pack intake on Desoto

Post by Gullwing »

As Bob Walker and Hot Heads are still selling new Dodge short deck 6 pack Offenhauser intakes I was wondering how they would work on my 291 Desoto. I have spacer blocks already purchased for an EFI conversion. To my surprise they seem to be a perfect fit. I can't help but think that the angle of the gasket surface might be a degree of but without getting a set of feeler guages out so far it looks dead on. Has anyone else tried this. I will have to move a few bolt holes around and do some port matching but this is the exact solution I was looking for.

It has been along time since I looked at this senerio, but as I recall the port spacing was off by about 1/8 of an inch on either 2 or all 4 ports. They you have to drill the bolt holes. Let us know how it comes out.

The intake bolt holes zig zag in mirror image between the Dodge & DeSoto intakes. There is a difference in mounting angles also.In a "U-Fab" situation it would be easy to redrill the holes & change the angle.
