Check out this intake. Listed as fitting the 250-292 Chevy but I think it fits the Pontiac OHC by the looks of it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/CUSTOM-VINTAGE-C...016.m2518.l4276Never seen anything like it. On second thought. The bolt pattern does look like Chevy. Bet the fuel distribution is bad with the different height of runner holes.

Bet the designer never saw a lump in their life. The design appears to provide each inlet port with a runner fed from the floor and one runner fed from the roof. With stock siamese intake ports each inlet therefore has access to a rich and lean runner. As the hot spot warms it all up I but the wet-runner/dry-runner effect is dissipated . . . I like the ingenuity . . . one of kind.

Well if someone donates $750 to me I'll cover the rest and put it on my car. I'll even dyno it vs the Offy I have now.
Any takers?

Sorry to ask such a stupid question but.......how the hell do you keep from getting an exhaust leak in the center with this manifold? There doesn't look to be enough surface for the clamps to hold the center runner in place.

All I can remember is his said it felt better But never got to do any real testing on it. They just lost all interest in the build. And thought maybe?? one get back to it. But if this is the same one, Then I'm guessing they never got the interest back. Or just went the Same O vthing route.
I'm not sure if I even have the Photo's of all the molds and all. I know he has a Boat Load Of time & money in it.
