67 440RB Intake Manifold

Been a while since I have posted. Will this intake manifold work on a 67 440 RB engine with stock cast iron heads? Part number 2806178. Currently have a dual quad setup but I am about changing to a 4 bbl setup.

That's a 68-69 440 manifold, yes it will bolt to a 67. What heads do you have, 915 or 516? Either way it will fit but the ports may not match exactly unless you have 906 heads...

It is a 67 Coronet R/T engine that was completely rebuilt in the 80's. I replaced the cam in the mid 90's. I haven't had the valve covers off since then and my memory was never that good. So I don't know which heads they are.

Thanks for the reply. I will have to check the ports if and when I decide to do the change.

I must ask what do you not like about your dual quad setup? Edelbrock or Offenhauser? Dual quads are so @#$!! cool but both carbs must be of sound condition and calibrated correctly. I had a 440 with the Edelbrock manifold and 2 500cfm Edelbrock carbs. Very fun and super good looks.

I do like my dual quad setup. It is an Offy with 2 500cfm Edelbrock carbs. It was set up that way when I bought the car nearly 30 years ago and has always run great. I also have 2.76 gears in the back which makes for a great highway cruiser, which I like to do, but will still spin (not smoke) the tires. But it is actually too much gas for the engine. I am also thinking about going to a Sniper fuel injection setup. Over the years I keep having problems with the Chrysler electronic ignition system and have been told that the fuel injection will make it more fuel efficient and eliminate my electronic ignition system problem. ONly drawback is the price.

But you are right that it does look great and is an attention getter.

If your considering fuel injection do it for the tinkering and fun factor brought by a self adjusting and easy to tune system. I say this because the cost of the correct and complete conversion to a Sniper type system will be around $3000. The added expense of switching to FI could buy a lot of gas- even at $3 per gallon. Also keep in mind the Sniper type systems are not built to OEM quality nor do they offer the diagnosing that an OBD2 OEM system does. Some think the aftermarket systems offer the same monitoring and DTC code displays of an OEM system and they do not. Your dual quad set up- although not super super valuable will still bring you a nice bit of money if you sell it.

I put the basic Sniiper system on my 440 based 511 stroker. I also used the HyperSpark distributor and the HyperSpark CDI box. I have to say it was a steep learning curve. The supposed "self learning" only adjusts the fuel table to meet the air fuel table that you create. The spark advance table that the Holley wizard creates isn't good. The Holley Sniper forum is a good place to go to get some advice on setting it up. I have the car running pretty good now, but it took a while to get it there.
In retrospect, I would go with the higher end Terminator Stealth series. It has more tuning capabilities. The Sniper 2 is not mature yet.

Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the input guys. The main problem I have is with the Chrysler electronic ignition system. Sometimes when I try to start there is no spark. Every once in a while when I release the starter it then fires up. This has been going on for several years. The magnetic pickup, ECU, ballast resistor have all been replaced a couple of times. Once they replaced the wire from the voltage regulator to the ballast as it was getting 17 volts. The alternator was working fine. They didn't have an explanation why only the wire was bad. Worked fine for a while then started acting up again. It would probably be cheaper and easier to go to an all MSD or Petronics (?) system.

The fun continues.

Agreed But I may be biased

The 178 intake was standard on all 67 440 hp motors

915, 516 and 906's all use the same intake valley pan so there shouldn't be an issue with port alignment , the only issue would be if he was going to use the stock 67 AFB , the bolt pattern to he intake is different.

No. The 4326 and 4327 AFB carbs that came on the 178 intake in 1967 have the same large bolt pattern as the AVS and Holley.

Thanks , I did not know that .
