I looked at Summit and Jegs. Is anybody making a dual quad intake for the LA engine other than a tunnel ram???

I just saw a dual quad SB intake for sale on here the other day. Also try eBay

I have one, I think it's an Offy. I'm pretty sure mine has the different angle holes for the early LA heads though, thinking '65 down?

The Offy is still available as far as I know.

Edelbrock also had one in the 60's called the D66 but it has small 318 sized ports. There's also a D64 but I believe the intake holes are angled like the early 273's.

If Edelbrock made a more modern 2x4 intake like they do for SB Chevys I would run one.

Yep, here is one of the 273 ones my buddy in Oz used on one he recently built.

(he has a couple of the intakes, early and 'standard' small block ones he has rounded up over the years )

This is mine bought brand new in 2003. Its for the 273-318 but Im gonna run it on my 360 with two 500 Edelbrocks. Offys are weird- they never made a dual plane. This intake is an open plenum with a divider wall running center- front to back. It does not really have runners. The plenum leads into the head ports via windows. I wish Edelbrock would make an air gap 2x4 like they do for chivy. Offenhauser claimed an RPM range of 3000 to 7000 on a 273 and about 2500-6500 on a 360. I actually called and spoke to someone there back in 2002.

Dulcich tested an offy 2x4 on a 383 years ago and it did not do great. I love the look and thats why I have one.

Kind of pricey but you could use one of these. http://www.indyheads.com/modman.html

The modman is an interesting concept. I think the design of interchangeability gives compromise to actual performance but neat none the less. This pic shows how my (and all Offy 2x4 intakes) are inside.
