Dumb question-low deck intake on RB engine?????? - 07/02/10 11:51 PM

Ok I have a 1959 Imperial dual 4bbl intake on my 383 in my cuda. I just bought a 440 to rebuild and was wondering if there is anyway to make that intake work on the 440 (the only reason is because i think its awesome) So do they make spacers or anything???

the spacers made for the MP stage 6 heads might work

Thought the 59 motors were RB's

Anyway, there use to be spacers to do this swap, b intake on a RB, but I don't know if they are still avalible. I remember seeing them from Direct Connection many moons ago.
I also remember spacers to run RB distributors in B engines, but haven't seen those in a while either.

I read an article many years ago about taking wood and making spacers to put B intakes on an RB engine. Just figure out what thickness you need and make them, unless you find them already premade.

Just the 59 383's were RB's.
