I want to convert my stock 361 big block to a 4 barrel instead of the 2 barrel that is on it now. I am wondering what intake manifold you guys would recommend? I am going to put a 600 cfm carburetor on it ( afraid of overcarbing the motor). I saw an offenhauser Dual Port intake on ebay for a good deal, never really seen one of those before, anyone have experience with it? I do want to get an aluminum manifold, Dual Plane(it is a street car). Edelbrock performer or performer RPM? I would like to go with a vintage hot rod look if possible as well. Thank you! 1965 Plymouth Belvedere II hardtop

I'm assuming your 65 & a 3.23 which means the dual plane is a good choice...Performer or I believe the old low deck edelbrock was the DP4B...

It has stock gears as far as i know, bone stock motor with a 2 barrel on it now. I'm thinking a performer intake with a 600 cfm carb, but i would like to pick up something vintage as i am trying to go with the vintage hot rod look with the car any ideas?...thanks! 1965 Plymouth Belvedere II hardtop

Hot Rod magazing did a 383 intake shootout with 14 different intakes! good info for sure.... http://www.hotrod.com/techarticles/hrdp_0712_mopar_intake_manifold_comparo/index.html 1965 Plymouth Belvedere II hardtop

If you can't find the earlier Edelbrock then a Performer would work fine, 600 cfm is the right carb size. Or a 625. With a short-stroke engine that's on the lower end of the displacement size for a "B" engine intake, it would be easy to go too big. Do keep in mind that 413/426/440 intakes will not fit. R.

If you hae the hood clearance I'd run the performer RPM as it has more ultimate HP potential but really doesn't have any downside in terms of torque. On a 361 I would avoid a single plane with the possible exception of the Holley Street dominator whichworks suprisingly well even on short stroke low decks.

It has small runners for the primaries for MPG's. Funny how Offy built this design way back when, and several Ford products have a similar set up on some of the 4 bangers now. It is a single plane yet it has excellent low end. IIRC it didn't give up much in the article listed above. Offy is offbeat and to me that adds the cool factor! In a 50's car? Double the cool factor!

This is a stock four bbl manifold but is aluminum. The Offy and DP4B would be good if your plan on making other small performance enhancements in the future.

On my research offenhauser 360 makes good power and help the engine run very nice..that with a 600 cfm carb sounds like a winning combination to me! 1965 Plymouth Belvedere II hardtop

Alt hough I had a seller here try to tell me different. "The only thing to do for triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" "NUNQUAM NON PARATUS!"
