Ever heard or use this intake???? - 04/19/11 02:02 AM

It's a Buddy Bar 2 piece aluminum intake. It's for a small bock. I have never seen anything like it. Kinda looks like a max wedge intake.

Could this be a Nascar piece or an old proto-type?

Can't post pic's yet.

Any guess's?

Thanks / Rick

Interesting intake. It looks a little like the Hemi bathtub intake. Here's the bottom.

Yep! That's it. Found out a lot more about Buddy Bar Industries,They make alot of cast aluminum parts for a lot of different companies.

Thanks for posting that pic, The one that this guy brought up has a single carb top on it, Looks like they milled it out of a piece of flat stock.

May buy it just for a conversation piece.

Thanks / Rick...

Looks like a copy of the "Smokey Ram" intake (aka SY-1) by Edelbrock circa, 1970 or so. Developed by Smokey Yunick for smallblock Chevys when Trans-Am outlawed multi-carb set-ups. Like a regular X-ram--good at upper RPM ranges, As I recall they recommended an 850DP on it for 302 cubes...........

That is an STR-13 it has been around for a long time. The STR-14 and STR-15 are still very popular RB and Low deck Big Block intakes.

Remember seeing them on sm blk Chevys, but not Mopars. So whats the verdict on them for drag racing?

Small block Mopar Edelbrock crossrams are STR-12 they look better than they perform, I like to get one for the WOW factor

Pretty much a track-only manifold, Guys have used & are using 'em still, If your motor is set-up for consistent high RPM, I'd use it.
There's some tricks to 'em that'd take too long to go over here. Find someone that's familiar with 'em ( there's a guy on "For A-bodies Only) and pick their brains......

Ran one on my 72 Challenger in the mid 70s just to be different from the guys running 6 paks.
