Anyone actually had a max wedge intake setting on a set of the 270 trick flows? How does look? Will you need a spacer between the block and intake in the front and back of the block?

It’s a raised port head...... so you’ll need spacers.

Yes I am talking max Wedge cross ram. So for a flat hood 1963 plymouth the 240's ported to max wedge might be a better choice?

The TF240 heads are taller overall than the oe heads, with a raised vc rail that has the inner edge standing proud of the intake manifold face.
If you could get the intake on past the vc rails, I seriously doubt you’d be able to get a valve cover on or off with the manifold in place.

The last time I used a factory type MW intake was 10+ years ago. I had to modify the bottom side of the intake to clear the valve covers on Indy heads. Those crossrams were designed to work with a specific set of parts and once you start swapping them on other heads you have to double check everything. And...... the raised port Indy heads actually increase the available space between the underside of the manifold and the VC area. I can tell you that with stock MW valve covers on stock MW heads with an oe MW manifold...... but changing to HS rockers....... it’s a real chore to get the valve covers off and on.

The other thing about the stock MW intake is, the drivability is really quite good for a hot street type deal.

Dwayne Porter Cam. , Your going to have to block off 3 of the 4 barrels to get that little bit of power No kidding I just finished dyno testing a pump gas 505 C.I. motor with a set of Eddy RPM with a Eddy Performer RPM intake and a 850 Holley carb that made 552.8 HP at 5100 RPM and 643 Ft. Lbs. from 3800 to 4100 RPM Me thinks your motor will make well north of 650 HP and almost as much torque as HP

Cab the cam is going to be small and it's going to have stock cast iron manifolds. It might do 525. But that will be enough. Should be very driveable. I'm going to put air conditioning on it.
