After Market Intakes
This is going to sound like a BS question, but it's not.
I do aluminum casting as a hobby and I have always liked the baby hemi.
Do you think that if a guy were to start making good modern intakes for the Dodge and Desoto would they sell?
What configuration do you want? Single four, dual four?
I figured that (if it happens) that I would sell them at car shows and rod runs so that if the people like it they will buy if not then walk away. None of this buying some thing you've never seen before.
I'm just trying to find a way of surviving retirement, and hot rods are a lot more fun than golf. Plus maybe seeing some thing I made on some ones hot rod will feel real good.

early intakes
The Dodge works well with a single four barrel...the best would be a Holley/Edelbrock carb bolt pattern. I've seen a few Offy's with the old WCFB pattern but an a adaptor is needed (I use one on a Nailhead). I'd buy one (or two). The Weiand 3X2 is still made but a single four is easier.

Hi and thanks for the responces.
There is not a major hurry as I don't retire untill spring.
But if you have a wish list or some drawings (autocad?) then email them to me at gassercoupe@yahoo.com
I've only cast one intake so far, it was a 4 duece cross ram for a 394 Olds using Holley Weber 2V's. It came out pretty good. I cast the car owners name in it and he thought it was great.

Breathe, Baby Hemi, Breathe!!
Sounds interesting. I don't have any drawings, but I would be interested in talking this thru. Sometimes the best biz opps come from needing to build something yourself.
I can build the 3x2 setup, but prefer a simpler 4x1.
Let's goto PM and chat some more about this.
Thanks,

Dodge/ DeSoto intake
Would like single four for the low deck Dodge. A modern 180 high-rise would wake up these engines! Would also love to be able to buy the old Crager/Offy 0401 trans addapter for all the short bell-housing engines to the early Ford thans. I use one with a flathead to chevy adapter to get early Ford clutch linkage in my 32 Ford.
Dodge intake manifold
I had a thought that a good manifold for the 241/270 could also be used on the 315/325 by using spacer plates like are used when 354 heads are used on 392's. It is not done now because the are no good manifolds for the small engines!

354 hemi intake
I am just new at this but i have a 354 hemi truck engine and i cannot find or see anywhere where somebody makes aftermarket intake manifolds with the fuel injection already put into the manifold this would help alot if you could find these around it may be a good idea but i may be one in a million that is thinking about using this type of manifold my other ideas is using a supercharger but i am still in the planning stages thanks
New Manifolds
Count me in as being interested in a single 4bbl manifold for the tall block late DeSoto hemis that would accept a modern carb. I'm in the market RIGHT NOW.
Thanks.
Thanks.

291 Desoto Hemi Intake
I really need a 291 Desoto Hemi 2x4 or regular 4 barrel intake that would accept a modern carb. I searched all over and cannot find any 291 hemi performance intakes. How much would it cost for you to make me one? I need one ASAP. Please email me @ joshchase667@hotmail.com
Thanks

Single plane vs Dual plane intake manifolds
I understand dual plane provides better idle and low end torque, desirable qualities in a street engine.
I have a spare 330 single quad intake to pattern from and I know someone in the casting business. I will take this heavy hunk of iron to him for an evaluation.
So, what is the status of this discussion? Is John P still around?
I could mold the passageways using silicon. Same with the plenum. This is getting interestng.
Comments anybody?

got a great idea for you
consider this: one bottom (runners) multable top's . ez to cast and unlimited potential single 4 or nunbolt the top and drop dual 4's on.
intakes
Did anybody get around to making them? I would like one for my short deck Dodge Hemi.

354 cracked and needs a sleeve
241 or 270 the only running one I have

DeSoto 330,341,345 intakes
I havent seen any, but I'm no expert either. Looking to price a dual 4bbl intake that accepts newer carbs for the early DeSoto hemi's. I think these engines are considered tall deck, FireFlight. There seems to be some practical update to the thermostat housing thats much desired. Does anybody know of any current manufacturers producing dual quad intakes for the 341 tall deck block?
Thanks,
Mike

intakes
I take it nothing happened with the 4 barrel manifolds for Desotos. I just picked up a 55 and would love to have a 4 barrel.
Amen,

57 DeSoto Adventurer dual carb intake $1200.00!!!
Heres a factory 4BBL intake that sold for $29.95http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 4563676392
But heres the bad news. I saw on some chat somewhere dual carb intakes could be found for $5-$6 hundred. This one just sold for $1200.00
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 4563037588
Almost made my eyes pop out!
I guess If I want to build this engine properly, I need to budget double the price of what I intended to pay.

Re: After Market Intakes
Count me in to!
I have a 54 Desoto 276 CI Hemi and I have been looking for a good set-up for the top. How about an intake with bungs for a fuel injection set-up? That is my goal in the near future. Other wise I would like a 4 bb or 3 x 2. That would work too, anything is better then an old cast iron single deuce.
It would add some competition to the other big houses of iron. Go for it and count me in for a couple or three set ups.
