Gonna bring this one back up. . when machining the top from a 4150 to a dominator flange does the "cloverleaf" style opening work better than the plain, square dominator sized opening?

I think it is different depending on the intake. Like a 772 is cloverleaf as a 420 would be square. Don't know for sure.

The version you go with depends on what you prefer with your combo. Some intakes have less meat to mill out and end up very narrow on the sealing surface. My 772 is very thin with an open plenum. But, 468 CID with a good dose on a plate system will not want a cloverleaf. If the thin gasket area scares you one can always build the outer flange up with alluminum. I had no issues and was faced with a no external welding rule in the class. I tried cloverleafs but did not like with my combos.

Thanks fellas..So what exactly does the cloverleaf do? Is it better for smaller cube combos?

I'm reaching here but a couple things come to mind. The plenum would be a little smaller. You would boost signal to the carb sort of like the trick spacers. Personally I had to run a large spacer so the cloverleaf was pointless.

What's the cost on the Ritter made intake? Is there a big difference in the 772 intake vs the 420?
