Its a good possibility that I may have scored an original Max Wedge intake. I wonder how good / bad this thing will run ? 493ci with original Max Wedge heads and intake, 10 to 1 compression, small solid roller........I hope its decent

I'm building almost the same motor. I am picking up my 440 now a 505 from the the engine shop tomorrow.All the balancing and machinong is done. And now I can put it together. I am also running 286 heads and an original 63 crossram. And cast iron headers. And a 4-speed.I hope it will be fun to hammer on the throttle. I have seen the old nascar intakes for sale. They are pretty pricey. But rare and worth it. I hope to pick one up some time and maybe switch to the single four.

The 440-2D is allegedly based on the NASCAR Wax wedge, at least one iteration of it.
Here's a pic of an original with the Divider removed

Here's the Indy....which Really responds to porting, particularly the lower plenum ( the upper is pretty darn good with just port matching)
The internal sizing I'll bet is very consistent with the old NASCAR but the runners are more modern shorter and with no acute angles....In many ways very similar to a scaled-up/oversized Performer RPM.
