I like my Indy on my 440-1 heads...made 60hp more than the Indy x-ram. About 1 1/2in of clearance to the scoop. 337 is a good piece also. Have Radar clean either up and port match 'em! Happy Holidays Ted.

The Indy single plane intake is a good race piece. It may not run the cleanest on a "small" (440 CID) motor with a large cam (276 degrees at 0.050"), at 2000 rpm, but it works great with a high stall converter, etc.

Buy the Indy 440-3 intake and if you can fit a 2 inch phenolic or wood clover leaf spacer on it try that Using a 440-2 with a tapered spacer just adds phenum volume, adding the two inch cloverleaf spacer on the 440-23 does the same thning. Monte Smith has debunct the 440-2 w/ the tapered adapter myth

I have only used the Indy valley covers. Dwayne used the right stuff to seal them up and never had an issue with leaks.

What do you have left to do?

My low deck has Indy heads and their valley plate. The gap to the heads is pretty small, maybe 0.030", and with gray silicone it never leaked or even hinted at leaking. To get it off for this winter's freshen up, I ran an Exacto knife blade down it to cut the seal.

I wouldn't expect they're going to pick up that much going to a MW entry, just because the rest of the runner in that particular head is fairly limited. IMO, the gain will come from being able to use a less restrictive intake to support the large(r) engine, not from major gains in head flow.

I think there are only 3 choices for RB, MW and 4500. Those choices are the Indy 440-3, 440-3X and Edelbrock Super Victor. (B1 intake can be used with adapters but frankly that is an expensive and painful way to go these days)

The 3X is very large, the 440-3 and the SV are similiar. I've used all of them and I'm not sure I can tell the difference on the dyno. They might work differently at the track. I'd probably buy the Edelbrock if it was my motor but I'd run the Indy intake if I had one on hand.

I plan to run the Indy dual plane intake on the eng I am building. It will have EZ heads and be 493 cubes. They say its a great intake for a street/strip car like mine. Ron

The Indy DP is a good manifold but it isn't MW or 4500. It can be opened up to the MW port size and an adapter can be used for the 4500 carb but that is extra work and money.

My Indy dual plane will be opened up to Max Wedge size but I dont plan to run the 4500 carb at first. Ron
