That’s a clever idea.
You could open up the top of a 4150 intake as much as was easy/practical, then take that adapter and open it up enough to match.
From a power standpoint, the HVH 4500/4150 super sucker/adapter works well on a Victor intake...... but makes for a pretty tall combo.

That's pretty sneaky. Thank you for posting that, I might be able to use it.

Maybe 17-18 years ago I had a pump gas 493 on the dyno with a roller cam and std port SR heads (mild porting by MM.....about 300cfm).
I tested a std M1 with a spacer and my good ported 850 annular, and a 1050/4500 on a 2” adapter, and then swapped the intake for a M1/4500 with no spacers.
I’d have to see if I could dig out the sheets, but my recollection is there wasn’t much difference in power between the 3 tests...... maybe like 7-10hp.
That motor was in the 660-670hp range. It’s always better to not go off memory when possible....... I found the sheets. M1 4150 w-1” open spacer & ported annular 850 = 632tq@4700, 660hp@6400 M1 4150 w-2” 4500/4150 adapter with new HP1050/8896 = 637tq@4800, 673hp@6300 M1 4500, no spacer with new HP1050/8896 = 635tq@4800, 669hp@6300. So, on that particular combo, the 4150 intake with the added plenum volume of the 2” adapter was the winner by a very slim margin. The 4500 intake was bought for hood clearance issues(customer wanted to run a 4500 carb, but it wouldn’t fit with the 4150 intake and 2” adapter”. All 3 combos used right at 900cfm at the top of the pull(6700).

Since those three tests yielded very similar results...... there’s not much fun in that........ So, here’s three different intakes...... The motor is a 446 with dome pistons, stage 6 heads(owner ported) and a 280@.050 bracket race SFT cam. First test is a TM7 with the spacer plates for the RB block and stage 6 heads, the Moroso 2” adapter and a 1090 King Demon(4500) carb. The second test is my SD/4500 on the spacer plates, no additional carb spacer, same 1090 carb. Third test is the MP full width Stage 6 4150 single plane intake(no spacers), with the 2” carb adapter, same 1090 carb. (Where did the TQ go??) Last test, pulled the 1090 and adapter off and installed customers Demon 850, no additional carb spacers. All the full width Stage 6 intakes have MW sized runners. There are 4 versions.... 4150 and 4500 for both std and MW size. Even the one for std port heads and 4150, like what was used for this test has MW sized runners. The difference being that the port exits at the gasket are shrunk down to std port size on the ones for std port heads. As you can see...... the ports CSA changing in size from MW size in the manifold down to std port size in the heads can do some strange things to the power curve. The SD/4500 was the winner of this shootout

Looks like the SD did well. At 4900 the tm7 and SD killed the other setups.

I ran an M1 4500 intake on my 451 that I had in my 65 Belvedere. Pump gas deal with an Indy SR head ultradyne .640" solid cam ran low/mid 10's driving it to the track at 3700lbs.

I did a bunch of intake testing on my 470 engines and eventually came to the conclusion that for peak power the M1 4500 was the best standard port intake available. But it did require extensive porting to get there. That was the result on that engine, a different engine might want a different CSA and plenum size. But the Dominator carb always made a little more power than a big 4150 carb and the 4500 plenum always made more power than a 4150 + adapter so eventually I settled on the M1 4500 + a Dominator as the best combo. I usually used a 2 inch tall 4 to 1 merge type adapter but most cars aren't going to have room for a beast like that. https://www.hotrod.com/articles/test-intake-manifolds-carburetors-440-stroker-search-ultimate-power/ A little off topic here, Andy, why did you guys make the shear plate/open spacer package so tall?
