Do the lower single plane intakes like a Holley SD or Eddy Torker/TM7 work with the valley plate/bat wings on a non raised port head?


Now I need to pin those needles, got to feel that heat

They should work in any application where the stock valley pan would work.

I think the op is asking what intakes will clear the thick aluminum valley cover.

the heat crossover is usually the problem with valley covers. crossovers aren't a uniform size. all manifolds are different.

You can tell if the intake will clear a billet valley plate by just looking at the intake.
