Lone Wolf Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 (edited) Great news for all of you BBC Street Machine, Pro Street, Street Outlaw, and other Drag Racing fan/model builders. Those of you who know something about Big Block Chevy engines, know the performance quickly falls off above 5,500 to 6,000 RPM with dual-plane intake manifolds. Additionally, when using Nitrous Oxide they perform far better with a single-plane intake manifold. I've been looking for well over a year, and even asked a few different resin casting guys about making these single-plane intakes, but until recently, had no luck. Thanks to Joel Mendoza of Iceman Collections, we finally have these badly needed intake manifolds available. Although it isn't named as such, it has the general appearance of a typical Edelbrock Super Victor intake manifold, a dyno proven racer favorite. Those of us who've long waited for these intakes can finally buy them at a steal of $3 each. Of course, those looking to add one or more Nitrous systems to their BBC engines can now have the exact intake that's needed to get the job right.

Below is as printed by Iceman Collections (except they're actually done in gray resin). Edited June 23 by Lone Wolf 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this time we skip from the simple plane to the tall one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horsepower Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 There's been a single plane intake produced by AMT for quite a while now, they're on the big block engines in the dirt track Modified center steer Tobias Chassis kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since many of us (street/drag/road racer types) have no clue about the specific chassis style you mentioned, could you please give the kit names so we could Google them?

bytownshaker Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 These are the ones that have the BBC single plane intakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Wolf Posted July 14 Author Share Posted July 14 Bytownshaker, Thank You for sharing that information. Hopefully there are some here who will find it useful. Although I feel I now have all the single-plane bbc intakes I'll ever need, I might even look into these just for the possibility of having something different? To be fully honest, I can't help wanting at least one of these, tall, cool looking, bad boy's: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Wolf Posted July 14 Author Share Posted July 14 Calb56, and others looking for a sbc single-plane intake, I remembered another source. The following kit, possibly related others I'm not familiar with, have such an intake manifold. I've got one and tested it on an amt bbc engine (67 pro-street chevelle) and it fits reasonably well, good enough if you only need one, it'd work.

It's the "Early Modified" series of kits and these are a little different than most you're going to find, it's an early I believe it might have been a Wieand and they have the carb twisted slightly on the top of the runners and the theory was that it equalized the runner lengths to the different intake valves.

Lone Wolf Posted July 17 Author Share Posted July 17 Thanks horsepower. I remember those intakes, a guy I knew about had one back in the 70's, when it was "the hot setup". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
