The manifold looks to come from the Revell Pro Stock Firebird kits.

There are still some carburated Pro Mod engines out there amongst the Super Charged and Turbo Charged engines in that class...they are large cubic inch mountain motors with sheet metal tunnel ram intake and dual carbs on Nitrous Oxide.

But as James says, this build is too sophisticated to pass as a "period car" as the Pro Stock (wich the car body is too old for) and Modified Production cars looked more like Super Stock cars with a more suped up engine back in the day...they didn't have tube chassis with roll cages and that wide tires so one of the more modern classes would be more suitable

Thanks Hakan, I have been needing one of those intakes for sometime and did not know the source....

Hakan, When I ran Modified production we had to have a roll over hoop, diagonals from the hoop to the front toe board and diagonals to the floor in the rear under the package tray. We didn't have to have carpet or interior trim, if you didn't have trim on the doors you had to cover them with tin. You had to have two seats up front, stock dash, no seat in the rear. Super Stock had to have full on interiors, most of the people I knew did run a roll hoop but I don't know if it was required. Super Stock had to be a vehicle that could be street driven, where Modified Production did not. Not many SS guys drove them on the street other than those late night blasts down the street that had all the lights come on in the neighborhood, But I never did that

Yes Modified Production had "looser" rules than the Super Stocks in some places and harder in other...mostly in safety, but they didn't have the full roll cages and tube chassis that many of the modern race cars have.

Even a Super Stock race car has more of a roll cage and are allowed to be modified more today than back then...but that's maybe necessary due to the fact that some of them are able to run low 8 second passes now.
