I love max wedge engines, but I admittedly don't know very much about them. I vaguely remember seeing a single-carb 4 barrel max wedge intake manifold for sale a few years back, but I can't remember the application (NASCAR, maybe) or the casting number. Does this thing actually exist or am I just crazy?

There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama & people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good.

...good to know I'm not imagining things. I'm getting my Indy-SR heads ported out to MW size soon, and I thought that if I could find one of these things, it might make a nice intake. I realize that there are probably better intakes out there, but having an original MW piece is just kind of special... 2 x 4 MW intakes just seem like a lot of trouble and too much Thanks for the help.

I currently have the Indy dual-plane on the motor. It does look really similar... I was just thinking of maybe going with the MW out of nostalgia.

If you put an original (or reproduction) Max Wedge intake on an engine with Indy heads you end up with dual valley trays like this picture. You could delete the lower valley tray and just build some rail spacers for each end of the valley. That would be the easy solution to run the 337 intake with Indy heads but I think you'll have to build them yourself. If you build rail spacers they have to be either a two piece design or else they have to be machined with a dovetail cut in each end. I think it would be a bit of a hassle to get it all sealed up properly.
