Good intake. Same basic design as the LD340 other than the smaller 273/318 size ports. Same plenum and runners down to the ports as the LD340. The runners are reversed from the LD340. Don't under estimate what the intake will do even with the smaller ports.

I am running one now on my truck
360 headed 318
LD4B
600 eddy carb
60710 voodoo roller cam
258/264
.485/.485 lift
stock hs 904 lock up
8 3/4-3.23 sg
29x15.5x15 M/Ts

works very well in daily traffic

my big thing was making a coil mount to work with it

on my truck it worked with the stock q-jet 4-v kickdown linkage with the eddy carb and throttle adapter

thats another reason I run it

no to get it to work right

The original LD340 intakes had a Chrysler P number stamped into them. The more common version of the LD340 came from Edelbrock and has a different number designation, like D340B. I have one of the latter intakes. I remember Wadell Wilson's book on building race engines and in the book it listed the LD340 with the P number on it. It had to have a stock casting number to be legal with NASCAR back in the 70's. I will have to look for the book and see if I can come up with the number

Both of mine have the LD340 cast into them. Have seen them with The Chryler numbers and the LD340 castings but never numbers like D340B and have never seen any record of those numbers. The LD340 as far as I know were never used in NASCAR. LA engines were not used as far as I know. They used the LD series for some stock sanctioned classes of racing where part numbers had to be the same as the car company. There was however a DP4B and CH4B the DP was teh BB version and the CH was the RB version.

The LD340s with the P part number were sold through Direct Connection. The ones with out the P# were sold through Edelbrocks other dealers.

There was some SB in NASCRAP. 305's in the wing cars towards the end.

Sorry. I didn't mean it was..just going of info...


What I did notice however, was that many of the parts listed for the NASCAR type of buildup had non P numbers. Apparantly, Mopar changed to the P number format in that timeframe. I think you could make the case that at that time, it was an option type of part from the factory. It has a true Chrysler part number on it, even without the P in front of it.:king:

The Mopar P plus 7 diget part numbers were in service in the through at least 2002 or 03. AS In P4120094 for the MP head gasket for small block. Regular Chrysler parts have had a 7 diget number without the P prefix for many years too up to just recently.

I always heard they were the same except the port exit thing but when I had them next to each other they were definately different in the way the runners curve and plenums were a little different as well as the way the runners leave the plenum. The everage length of the runners was a little longer in the LD4B. It is still a very nice intake and I am running one on my high MPG 318 and it pulls hard right up to 5000. I will be putting on some magnum heads in the near future and the LD4b ports match the magnums almost perfectly.

I am in Wisconsin. I found it on the Eau Claire site. And it does have a Chrysler part number on it too. I think I will try it on my mildly built 318 in my 91 Dakota till I get my stroker done.

The runners are different in the fact that they are reversed this would change the curvature, but they have teh same height and very close to the same plenum size considering the runner reversal. All things considered they are a very good running manifold - even used on 340/360 heads with out matching ports they work very well. Vast improvement over using a regular standard Performer. In fact no comparison.
