Trickflow Intake for 270 heads now available

Finally for RB , Intake for 270 heads and 4500 carb....https://www.trickflow.com/parts/tfs-61600115

Good to see.
I don't see any info on the Trick Flow site.
Height?
Port opening size?
etc.
But it does say "In Stock" $479.99

In stock but no pictures and no information. Guess you have to be willing to take a risk to order one.

These were on the Mopar engines facebook group.

That is the new intake and so far seems like a nice piece, better than many others out there...

Social media to the rescue!

is it me or does every BB single plane look kinda like an oversized Torker II from the 80's these days?

but the plenum looks a bit more like the MP 337 (which works well and fits under the hood).

I do like the open plenum. The Super Victor has a clover leaf design which I don't like to use with open spacers. I think the Trick Flow intake will be a good one to try next time I have an RB race motor on the dyno.

Looks a lot like the B1 orig intake until it gets to the flange

is there one for a low deck? Birdtracker

Agree, the runners look enlarged almost to the point of the original B-1 intake!

Trick Flow sells a low deck intake but it's 4150 flanged and standard port. I think the Indy 400-3 is the only readily available max wedge, 4500 flange low deck intake on the market right now.

I really like the look of the new TF intake but think it's too much for a stock stroke 440, and I also don't have the hood clearance to adapt it back to a 4150 flange for my application.

Trick Flow updated their website with one piece of info:
Intake Manifold Height:6.375 in.

For the B1 intake comments, my measurement of the B1 original intake height was: 9.25" (with the RB spacers, but no gaskets, i.e. mockup)

Easy enough to convert most 4150 intakes to a 4500. Just sayin no need for the adapter. NEVER seen a 4150 intake with an adapter outperform a true 4500 intake either.

I like that!

JIm since you are including the height of the RB spacer plates in that measurement in your photo its a tad off. But yes the B1 intake is larger for sure.

Another person on Facebook posted a picture of it next to an Edelbrock Super Victor and the runners looked identical, the only easily visible difference was the plenum is completely open on the Trick Flow version, while the Super Victor has runner dividers extended into the plenum and the plenum opening has a cloverleaf shape to it.

I am currently running the Super Victor max wedge 4500 intake in stock form, I wonder if there would be any advantage to going this route instead. I was thinking of having mine ported in the future but maybe better off getting one of these Trickflow intakes ported? I am really curious to see how this performs compared to the Super Victor.

Comparing them, the TF is about 4.400 at the port opening in the plenum, and the SV is about 4.100...TF runners are a bit shorter too.

Trick Flow told people including me that the standard port intake would work fine on the 270 heads. I got in bit of a discussion with them on that topic back when I was dyno testing the 240/270 heads for them. I told them that they needed a MW port intake but they denied it and said the std port intake would work. The whole thing gave me a bad feeling since they were clearly lying to customers. Guess someone at TF finally decided to listen to the advice and produce a MW intake.

Are they making it in a Low Deck as well?

I hope so!

Has anyone measured the port opening at the heads? Are they close to MaxWedge?
Today the TF website says not available until the fall. (out of stock).
Approximate dimensions for comparison (published, not TF):
1.25 x 2.28 Standard BB Mopar port
1.34 x 2.63 Max Wedge port

They are very close only requiring minor port matching.

Brian, Thanks for verifing the new intake port opening.
From TrickFlow's 270 head info sheet, the head port is Max Wedge. Intake port dimensions: C01: 2.630” x 1.340”

Sadly no listing for low decks, and not available for raised decks at the moment...

That intake makes great power with very minimal work!
