I looked near the #1 intake runner and its just porrous cast and no way there ever was one there. Has anyone seen this before? its got a cast number 2946276

I have had this piece sitting in the garaqe for twenty years. The guy I got it from said it came off a 1970 Roadrunner. That 72 intake is interesting, I wonder what car that was put into? I don't remember any six packs in 72 just some detuned 440's

I don't remember any six packs in 72 just some detuned 440's There IS 3 or 4 known to exist 1972 6-pak cars. There was just an article in a mag about one of them. I'm the CARETAKER of Weinstats '69 440 'cuda registry and have 104 of the 360 cars to date. 84 fastbacks/20 coupes. Always looking for new(REAL M-code) '69 440 'cudas to add to the registry so drop me a note if any are found or known. This isn't a publicly released registry. Thanks, Dave

There is an article this month in MCG talking about Century boats that could have had a 440+6 in them. Back when I was on the lake a lot, I had a '65 Century Coronado w/a 426 wedge and a pair of AFBs. Came that way when it was born. Met a guy on the lake who had a '72 Century Arabian w/a 440. We got to talking shop and I told him of the twin AFBs on my Coronado. He said his Arabian had a "tri-power." I thought he was pulling my leg, but he showed it to me. Marine air cleaners, but there it was. A six pack setup on a cast iron manifold. WOW! Whether it was born with it, I do not know. The fellow I'd met was the third owner of the boat. I got my Coronado from the original owner, who had all the receipts from day one. He was also my best friend. 7330418-38892jpg5.jpg (40 downloads)
