I had quite a few, but the one in the pics is a Weiand three two barrel tunnel ram converted to dual 4s, with the insides ported and fogger nozzles drilled for but not used. LOL The top had dams installed too, much like the Direct Connection Engine Manual pages....

I ran an M1 intake on my Demon, I drove it in the middle of winter, the cold start drivability was truly awesome!

those direct connect connection package suggestions were dead on.

tunnels are so pretty....

you are handling the gas crisis well if tunnel rams are on your mind. at this point i consider them full scale models.

I ran one on my 68rr 440.
It ran great and looked even better.
Infact I was so happy with it,I am running the setup again in my truck.

I managed to hide mine, but it wasn't easy........I made some custom air filters that only stick up 3/4 inch above the carb. I hacked off the choke parts, painted everything with Eastwood carb restore, and got a 3rd place trophy last Summer. And don't disown me, but it is all under the hood of my '71 Camaro.

Early on I had a old Hemi, then I started pricing what it would cost to build one with enough power to push the tank ..

Decided to go with old reliable ..Wish someone would adopt it but doubt that will happen so, its time to stuff more money in it and drive it

how long ago did you start pricing out for the first gen hemi parts?
i went here and they seem to have tons..
not too much more then for our Big Blocks. worth checking out IMO,
assuming you still have the old hemi.

Depending on what route I go ..
My 440 all fresh will be around $1500.00 or less

Last one I did cost $380.00 ..

I know I'm resorecting an old post but can you give me some more info in the Weiand? I want to do the same thing with mine for my 63 Plymouth.
What carbs did you use?

BTW It looks sweet, up till now I have not seen one installed.

Thanks

Do it! I'd recommend going with a pair of Edelbrock carbs rather than the Holley carbs but either can be made to work. The Eddy carbs are just a little cheaper and easier to dial in.

HEY!
I saw this! LOL

Are you talking my Weiand 3x2bbl intake turned into a 2x4bbl ? The best carbs I ran on my truck were two 450cfm Holley center floats, I think they might have been the "Economasters" series but I'm not 100% positive.
I drove the truck year round, tons of torque, perfect drivability, and those two 450s on my Demon would pass AirCare emissions tests with flying colors, no detuning whatsoever....
I've used Edelbrocks too, which were OK, but those 450 Holleys really worked well for me. My distributor was recurved using two of the stock distributor "light" springs. Total advance was 34-36. NO vacuum advance.

Yes I'm going to run one of those old Weiand intakes on my 63. I plan on running Holley carbs were those 450 mechanical or vacuum secondary?

Thanks for the info.

I'll throw in my and say that I did with no problems, basic stock 440 with bigger cam, 2 Holley 750 double pumpers, Ran good on the street but to much intake / carbs at the strip to get the most out of it with the engine I had.
