First, does anyone have any track/power results in going from one to the other?? Second, what is the height difference between the two?

Thanks!

Tony the wagon is fast enough

Be careful of the racing gremlins next thing you know you will be putting a cage in it and putting some 15" wide tires under it

When the 440 Victor first came out, I did a same day, back to back test changing nothing but the manifold. I had a single plane M-1 with a 1" spacer and swapped it for the Victor with no spacer. I drop almost .200 in et and pick up almost 2 mph. Every car will be different though.

i am going to be trying a 440 victor againts my m1-4500 intake.that is if i can get a good one from summit.the frist one i got had some casting flaws. on the out side that i did not care for.tonys451 you have a stroker low deck though right? so i do not know if my 440 shoot out will work for you.allso there was a post awhile back about porting the 440 victor for more power.can some body tell me were they need ported. and does anybody have any pixs.tony sorry if i hijacked your post. and good luck on your car.mopar65

Rob - I'm trying, but whats a little old intake gonna do anyhow???

Greg - Do you recall the height difference between the two? I would be looking the 383/400 intake. BTW, 2 tenths and 2 mph is a pretty awesome improvement!

Mopar65 - I remember reading about Victor intake mods as well... It's been a while though. Good luck with your swap and let us know how it works for you.

If you look down in the plenum there is a bulge in all four corners. They are grinding those out and blending that part of the plenum into the roof of the runners. There were some good pics posted here a few months ago. Maybe that person will repost them. If they don't show up soon I'll find them and put them up.

I am going to be running a victor on a 500 with a roller and eddys.. I am not trying to steal the thread but I sure would like to see those pics too!! Thanks, Jim

.200 is two tenths.

2 tenths and almost 2 mph i think it would be worth switching.

I tried doing a search on that post and couldn't find it. but yea it's pretty simple just blend the wings out of the corners. Mine was a pretty gross casting too.

I found pics from 2 different threads, about 10 months apart. I don't know who posted these but they almost look like they could be pics of the same intake.

it would be nice to know what if any difference the clean up made, sometimes what you think should work doesn't.

gomangocuda thanks for the pixs. those are what i need to see.thanks. i found a moparts member to port the victor for me.but he can not do it untill the end of july. so i might throw the victor on. out of the box and see how it does.allso i bought 2 inch moroso carburetor adapter. so i can run my dominator on the victor.on the adapter the inside is as cast. should i smooth the inside or leave it like it is?
i plan on going to the track in about two weeks.
jamesc if i remember right on the last post.it was said after they ported the victor intake. it was worth 10-15 horsepower.but i am probly wrong though.mopoar65

This is my Victor with Dominator adapter. The black-lined areas will be reduced.

Different Angle

Thanks everyone for the input, and thanks 440Jim for the measurements. I measured the top of my aircleaner last night and found just over 1/2" clearance with a play-dough test. According to the dimensions of both intakes, there is a height difference of 1 1/8". I'm running a drop base aircleaner and short 2 1/2" element as it is, so looks like I'm sticking with my M1 for now.

Your car would look great with a SS scoop on it!
The only reason the scoop is on my car is so the manifold fits.
