So I was thinking about building a 65 cuda into a bit of a rat rod with a spare 5.7 siting in the shop and the only intakes I could find are XV $600 so I checked the mopar one and it is running $1000 the only eddy one I can find is the dual quad one and then I am over budget buying 2 carbs instead of one Is there an eddy or any knock offs who are not looking to pay for the entire production operation off of one manifold sale? I mean come on... there are 5 different single 4 manifolds for the LS1 under $400 I can get an eddy for $265 from summit and a complete conversion kit with computer for the price of an XV bare manifold!!!

So much for my dream of being the first with a t-quad on a 5.7... the bastards at "MOPAR SUCKS PERFORMANCE FROM THER ENGINES" are makeing sure of that!

here we go again,stop whining and start buying and the prices will come down.

Already started. 2 sets of heads and looking for a short block.But when you spend 1000.00 dollars on an intake that is cast your They have good prices on bare 6.1 block that is a 1000.00 but for an intake I will go custom before spending that amount.
If you think that if they sell 10000 intake the price will magically start to fall well then go ahead hold you breath.
They came out with the apache cylinder head that may sell 10000 sets.The heads are fully assembled for below 1000.00 a set. The manifold doesn't add up IMO.
Thanks for adding your opinion.

You could buy the Eddy and fab a plate to add the thermoboooog. Man I love those carbs.
Had about 50 of them 20 years ago and tossed them in the garbage.

MattW give up the details on the 6.1 block for 1000$. p# and what it inlcudes please!

Instead of complaining, there's market opportunity, make the investment and develop, manufacture & sell an affordable intake.

Look at the hot deals section i gave the thread a bump.

the reason that prices will come down when people buy is pretty simple,if one company can get the stuff moving others will start tooling up thats where competition sets in. from what i read about the dragpack intake its worth the money,since it is capable of making power.
the thing i have learnt from moparts is that everyone wants to go fast but most dont want to pay the price:(

---

I don't see that happening there no volume in sales for mopars.
IMO the intake works because it is a tunnel ram with a single carb straight shot to the piston.

The only eddy I can find is a dual quad without enough room for two thermoquads

Quote:

---

The sales volume thing is BS because eddy does make the dual quad one with a more complicated casting and less people are gonna use it than they would a single 4. I am not oposed to paying more than a chevy guy for similar parts but this is out in left field even for mopar. Heck even the mopar single 4 not drag-pak intake is $1000 that is FOUR times the price of the chevy one not just double even

Well I guess you can get out your tig welder and make one

LOL If the runners line up use a block of wood. Plus you get the thermo break.LOL

I will be flowing the Apache heads in the near future same flow bench as before. Matt

OK I'm confused, what intake is that for? P7?

The dual plane that Ray posted is from Hot Heads. It lists for $315.00. The problem is, there is no way to make spacers which would incorporate both the gen3 and gen1 bolt patterns. This is why I did mine like I did. One common bolt pattern. Unless you have your own milling machine and tig set-up, you will end up with the $600 or so that the XV intake would cost you.

Jerry,
Just an observation, but seems the gen3 hemi likes those long intake runners. I'll stick to my old stuff.

Are those parts avaliable and for sale?
I really like the front cover with the dist.

Easiest way to explain it is to flow an exhaust port with a generic header on it even with cold air the temp rise in the header a the first bend is remarkable. That why Dyno headers usually product more.
Truck intake and 6.1 are great for EFI but would run poor if the mixture had to go throught it. That is why the jiggle juice doesn't work so well with those intakes.
IMO a composite intake like the dragpack intake with different heights would work well.
the more i research this the more I am leaning to EFI.
U can pick an 09 to present composite intake from dodge for 214.00.

step up to the 1990's and run efi with the stock intake

Still costs way more than a carb set up would, even the eddy with two carbs

I think I am gonna look into the mod-man intake, I am concerned with low speed fuel distribution but it looks to be the cheapest way

And that the EFI will make more power over a carb

Quote:

---

NO!!! Every 'should I go EFI' thread clearly states somewhere that carbs make more hp.

---

Both properly tuned carb or efi are equa.
EFI has the advantage of easier start and less ring wash.

Summit has an MSD ignition controller for $475 and right now you can get a $40 rebate on that. For EFI you would have a hard time running the factory controller, it needs to comunicate with the instrument cluster and other crap, FAST makes a controller that is like $3000 XV control is about the same but comes with a complete kit. Either way I don't see it costing less than double the carb route.

I can't beleive what I said about the intakes, when Indy has the cheapest of something it must be a cold day in Hades (mopar land)
