How tall is a CH4B? vs other intake heights.

How tall is a CH4B? vs other intake heights. - 02/23/12 07:55 PM

Where does the CH4B fit in below? I have an AirGrabber and the regular Performer rubbed the air cleaner lid on the hood. My builder prefers the CH4B over the Weiand, but I dont know if it will fit.

So does anyone know the car pad height for the CH4B?



Stock a) 3.33"

Weiand Action + a) 3.25 b) 3.69

CH4B a) ? b) ?

Performer a) 3.8" b) 4.8

Street Dominator a) 4.13 b) 5.25

Performer RPM a) 4.9" b) 5.8


Thank you

its about an inch shorter than an rpm or 6-pak. i had a ch4b, ch28, ch6b all together at one time and measured them. like a dummy i didn't write it down! anyhow, it won't fit under an air grabber. only two intakes i've found to fit correctly are the stock 4bbl or ch6b.

CH4B is taller than stock , it is higher than the performer you will definitely have hood clearance issues with it .

Do you have a spacer under the carb ? I can't see the performer being an issue , but you never know.

What year car is this?

Its a '71 GTX and I definitely had clearance issues with the Performer - no carb pad.

AFAIK the only aftermarket intake that would fit would be the Weiand as its even lower than stock.

I'd like to get an exact carb pad height for the CH4B to know how much of the horn I can cut off or if I can even use this manifold.

Thanks for your help guys.

How about an Edelbrock StreetMaster? It's like a Street Dominator, only lower I think. I have one in the garage I could measure for you later tonight, where did you reference your a and b measurements from?

Sure, thank you.

a) = front of carb pad and b) = rear of carb pad.

The measurements came off the manufacturer's web sites but it was 2 years ago and was just reading off my notes.

I would think that with an air grabber on a 71 B body it would clear. all I can tell you is a member used the CH4B on his 69 road runner wit ha 440 and air grabber , the air cleaner dented his hood when he shut it because I ASSuMEd the CH4B was stock height because it is NHRA legal.

I read somewhere that it is maybe an 1" taller???

A member has one on a the 440 he put in his 71 Satellite with the std. 71/72 roar runner hood and a stock dual snorkel air cleaner , it fits as far as I know .

Do you know where they measured the carb pad to? Top of the block I take it?

Stock a) b) is 3.4 and 4.2

CH4B ia 3.8 and 4.8

Actual difference between stock, and CH4B at the midpoint is between 3/8 and 1/2 inch

TY TY... So its exactly the same height as the Performer. I should be able to shave a half an inch off the funnel

Yes. From Edelbrock's site, they take a straight edge and lay it along the carb pad front to back. Then they stand a ruler from the bottom of the front of the manifold and see where it meets the bottom of the straight edge, thats "a". ...well here's the picture
