I know they make an adapter going the other way (large air cleaner to small neck carb) but I need to fit an old school hemi base to dual Eddies with a larger air horn. Suggestions?

I'm running a round "Chrome Dome" and I modified mine by welding it new air horn rings (baseplate was mildly butchered to start with). Mancini sells the already modified with the larger air horn. Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

It's for a Shaker setup but you could trim the lip back. http://www.forhemisonly.com/stagevbaseplate.html It's a bit pricey but a really nice piece. Tim did a great job on getting this needed part developed. I'm sure it's a low volume mover so I hope he breaks even by 2020 8123008-stagev-shaker-baseplate-topview-lg.gif (278 downloads) Last edited by rumblefish72; 04/24/14 02:34 PM. 1972 Pro-Street 'Cuda, 500" Eagle stoker B Block, Eddy RPM heads, Victor Manifold, 850 Mighty Demon, Hemi 4 Speed, Dana 60 w/4.88 gears - Built by Hansen Racing Middlesex - NJ

I'll insert them from the inside so I can take advantage of the smooth flow contour into the carb horn.

I'm pretty sure that the factory used the same tooling that was used to stamp the 1966-1970 round chrome dome bases and simply made a new surround which was spot welded to the revised/trimmed base plate to create the later oval bases. 8123669-HemiAC2.jpg (161 downloads)
