They pop up every once in awhile - But look for stripped threads or heli coils on the carb mounting threads , to find a mint one might bee a stretch and then of course cost I guess i dont understand everyones dedication with these intakes when they only put out at best , maybe and i mean maybe a few more hp then the newer Edelbrock Performer Intake Of course the Performer RPM is a different animal but hood clearance always comes into play 1971 Dodge Charger Superbee 2011 Ram Sport 1500 Quad Cab Deep Water Blue Loaded Siberian Huskies

I've been there done that 30yrs ago.

Actually it's Dodge Plymouth 4 Barrel (for 383-400) and CH4B is Chrysler 4 barrel (for 413-440).

This intake won't fit under his N96 hood without cobbling up an expensive air cleaner, so even though its a better intake it's not fitting his criteria. One advantage the DP4B has over the stock iron itake , it's 20lbs lighter.

Canada	I'm looking for a DP4B for my 70 D100, I want it instead of the Performer or SD (which I have) strictly because I want the truck to look as it would have in 1970. I agree on the $75-$100, I'm waiting for one at a swap meet so I don't have to pay the shipping/border fees. Sheldon

If it's taller it in not by much as I used it on a 383 in my 1969 Superbee with N96 hood and a factory air cleaner assembly that was not modified in anyway, no problems.
