Here is a pic of the Edelbrock 4x2 (see pic below) ?

Does anyone have any experience with this manifold ?

I realize it's a step down from the INDY set up...

list's for $295 at Summit

Do you think it could be "re-worked" a bit...

This would be a inexpensive option to get the car "legal" for me to run some NSS stuff...and get my feet wet, see if i like it,,,etc...

I will pull out all the stops when i do a 572 INDY motor,,down the road......

The heads on the car have been ported and re-worked,,,by Dwayne Porter,,,I dont want to pull them off,,and do anymore to them...
Would rather find a "bolt on" deal i can do....and have fun....
Sounds like the car will slow down from where it is now,,,but that might be ok,,,if i can keep it legal,,,and still crack the 10 sec barrier with a multi-carb setup,,,,(runs 10.26 now,,,)

Thanks again guys for the suggestions.......

Sounds like a cool deal Doug....NSS =

Why not pull the e-heads and have them port matched to the ICH MW manifold as was mentioned above ? It should still easily run the 10.50 index i would think.

Then when you do the big cube combo you're all set on the intake side.


The A&A crossram is another option and it would bolt right onto the std port e-heads but then you would need a new intake when you build the big cube combo. The A&A piece is expensive as well but would provide the path of least resistance.

Doug,
We ran that same intake before we switched to the Indy. That was when we were runnin 12.0's tho. It ran pretty good for what it was but the indy was a good 2/10's quicker.

Doug,

It would be worth a call to Damon at Daimondback and discuss your options. I think he was going to design an old style intake that is not currently available.

The "as cast" 440 port crossram from A&A is $1,300
Damon is working on a low deck NSS manifold.

I've never had any experience with the Eddy 2x4 intake, but Cab said in an earlier post it runs fairly close to a single dominator with iron heads.

Sort of an interesting combination.....does anyone have any more input on that setup?

Thanks Pop,,,the A and A intake looks nice,,,but way too much $$,,,plus i would have to get all the linkage,,,and then the carbs,,,, $$

Steve,,,I might do some research into the Edelbrock intake,,,and see what i can find out.. ..Chuck up at Best Machine did my motor,,,,i might run it by him,,,and see what he thinks,,,that way i could swap that intake/carbs on and off as i choose,,,and not mess with the heads,,


I will try and send Damon an email as well........thanks guys,

I had that intake on a 470 in my lancer. I also Had a M1 with a dominator. The dom ran a 10;24 REALLY CONSISTANT. The 2X4's ran a best of 10:46 which was perfect for the 10:50 class. I also ran a 1 inch spacer under the carbs to try to get a little bit more plenium, that was with 2 650's I put the 750's on and there was no difference. If you put the intake on you will run out of intake about 6,000 where the dom.was good for 7000. It took about 20 minutes to swap intakes. Hope this helps Bill

I got that eddy intake sitting in my garage right now.planning on putting it on here w/in the next month or so.There was NO way i could afford a ICH set-up and i really wanted to run the NSS stuff.I been watching e-bag for the last month or so and found 2 nice carter comp carbs...If your $ is tight and you want to get into this type of racing,i don't see any other real option (other than runnin a single carb).I'am not too concearned about the performance loss or gains,it's index racing-get it to the track see what it wants to run and go from there.With weight ballast and tunning should be able to find a comfortable index to race.

Bill, just out of curiosity, what was the rest of that combo? We have one of those intakes laying around......

well it was a stroked 400 with a set of diamond flat tops home ported sr"s 65 CC12.5 comp ratio with a 650 roller in it aluminum rods harland sharp rockers nothing special it was in a 3250 # car with driver 5000 stall 727 456gear on 29.5x110.5 tire .
