I have a VERY early casting and it looks like the stock manifold you show(well very similar)... I'm just trying to figure out what it is thanks

Basically they eliminated material that was consistantly removed from the porting process. So the original '598' is not necessarily a lesser manifold than the '598AB'. As usual, nice work Laverne. I'd have to check again on the PN# but a buddy is using an angle milled Bowtie intake on his 15* SBC with good results.(850HP)Is this a 15 or 18 deg. head SBC? Can you give us any details or is this a grudge/secret build?

We had to cut and weld flanges because the chevie would not reach the ports. The 420 can be ported and drilled to fit a chevy and then make a valley pan. What is being done in the picture makes a neater job but is a lot of work. Leon Career best 8.02 @ 169 at 3050# and 10" tires small block power.

You done the mod for oil line on my intake yet? I also remembered today the oil pan mains have to be reworked. I think you should remove the Mopar logos and get FIFTH AVE RACECARS ball milled on the front of the valley!
