I was lucky to get a BRAND NEW complete 6.4 intake including fuel rails, injectors, and throttle body. Brand new, never run. The pile of parts is starting to get bigger, I am down to needing pistons, machine work,(or block, if MA Mopar produces more 6.1s) control box and the usual replacement parts for a build, like bolts, timing chain, some gaskets,oil pump, etc. If the blocks are scheduled to be released as promised on the 8th of this month, I have one on order. If not, I hope to find a nice 6.1 block to work with. Tha would give me 402+ cubes with the 3.888 crank.

Given up on the carb induction Greg?

How will you operate the variable runners?

I couldn't figure out a way to run the two fours without cutting the hood. I decided it would be nicer to have the original hood as is and also the fuel injection advantage. I here the FI with the variable runners is worth a bunch of mid to low rpm torque, which doesn't hurt my feelings either. The price on the FI intake was very good. I hope I can return the favor to the seller some day

The manifold runners can be switched by an rpm switch, or a computer if it is capable. There are variable runner intakes in polymer that are a copy of the 6.1 barrel intake as well, I think they come from newer truck 5.7 motors. These have a straight intake rather than the slanted one on the 6.4 intake.

Overall probably the smarter way to go unless you run a scoop and a big coin wet intake like the Drag Pak or a Hogan.....

I was thinking the RPM switch also... but does the door
open with a elec motor or a vac motor

It was good talking to ya about your project the other day Greg. I hope that lump plays out well for you. I am trying to get my son to buy his Dragpack manifold now while he is thinking about it.

Why and how I know that is because of a video I saw on lx forum. Guy was trying to make it work with his Magnum Wagon. He stated that the ecm controlled the opening and is WAS NOT progressive. I would be open or closed and he thought he could make it work with a low voltage solenoid.

The 5.7 truck intake (2009-up) has the variable runner actuator in the back, but the throttle body is straight up. The 6.4 truck intake has the actuator in the front and curves the throttle body to the right. The car intake curves left. I used the 6.4 truck intake on this 5.7 for hood clearance. The 6.4 truck runner is actually a tad smaller than the 5.7 runner.

Rod, it was great to visit with you too. I am impressed with some of the projects you have in the works.

CJD, thanks for posting this. I am going to put a link in the Hemi sticky thread to it.
