Those intakes are an offenhauser 273 dual quad unit with the carb pads machined out and the blower pad welded in. As far as a kit there probably not available new anymore for mopars. You could buy the blower unit with the pulleys and have your own manifold made. Back in the 80s B&M ooffered an adapter to mount that small blower on any single plane street intake manifold.
Keep old mopars alive.

For the type of manifold you want, the place is called Max Wedge Performance in Australia. They make them. Also makes one for W2 heads and some others. For more info contact:
"Bill Laney" <williaml@hotkey.net.au>
Got this message from Bill sometime back:
"Greg Supercharged Chrysler small block 671 144-177 manifold AUD $1150 + freight regards
Bill"
If you convert that to US dollars, it still ain't cheap. Pic is the 671 version he makes.

1,150.00 AUD = 726.241 USD

Thats the way it is for us guys into mopars. If you shell out $1100 plus for a custom made manifold- by the time you add in $$ for the blower and all accessories you are knocking on the price door of a good used 671 set up complete. As usual for SMC the small blower kit is very affordable and available new. I do know the Offy dual quad intakes are still available new and used, but the price for conversion seems to take the "Low Buck" out of the build.

Someone here posted a pic of a magnum beer barrel intake with the top wacked off and a blower mounting plate welded on. Looked sweet! Thought I saved the pic, but can't seem to find it...
sounds very intersting, have been searching alot to find some pics of any kinds of blower manifold for a smallblock but cant find more than some pretty expensive ones made for 6/71s and some custom made ones in finland that do look nice but i kind of like the thougt of doing stuff myself so any pics of this would be very intresting to see if it can be found:)
