1966 Galaxy quick survey

[BKIN10SECS]

Hey guys, still working on the Galaxy just wanted to get some creative input on which intake set up to use. The block is a Mercury Racing LS7. I printed up an intake for the use of straight shorty stacks and I also printed up a cross ram long stack intake. This is just a  mock up but I do like the visual impact of the cross ram stacks,  but is it too much? we will see. So straight or cross ram what are you guys feeling .

Thanks Jay

I'd stick with the shorties. You can see the engine then

Both look good.  You don't see the cross ram that often.

With your modern wheel and tire combo, I think the cross ram feels more appropriate for your build... the shorty's are good but have a more vintage vibe in my mind.

Cross ram, definitely.

The short stacks look good, but I think they'd work better visually in an older car ('30s-'40s-early '50s) with a smaller engine bay.

The cross ram setup fills that gaping hole nicely, and suggests way-beyond-serious horsepower.

If you're going for a Ridler-contender look, it's the cross ram.

I'm Team Cross Ram. Visual Impact! 👊

I think the cross ram better matches the larger body and takes advantage of the open wheel wells. Reeks of hi performance.

Yup, cross ram for all the above reasons. Looks great by the way. 
Cheers Mishaps

Crossrams. Too much is never enough, unless it’s just right.  

[stavanzer]

I'll join Team Crossram too. As Bill says "Too Much is Never Enough"

[johnyrotten]

Crossram all the way. That car looks absolutely awesome, by the way

Short stack

[catpack68]

Short stacks for me

[Zen]

Short stacks for me also, I like to see the valve covers

[dino246gt]

Cool project! 

I do like both, but the cross-ram really does it for me.

Wow....Thanks everybody for the great input and reasoning behind your choices. What I will be trying today is putting on the short metal intakes onto the cross ram . I think it will give me a nice balance between the two....we will see. Thanks again everyone.

Can't wait to see the Photos.

Short stacks are for top end where long tubes and/or cross rams are for lower bottom end torque. Wheels are too big; tires side walls are too short. this will allow you to choose based on what the car is supposed to represent.

WOW.....I can appreciate your automotive suggestions, but I like big wheels and I like short side walls!!! What this car is meant to represent is my personal and hopefully creative perspective of a simple custom restomod bro its just a model car. I'm not looking to  enter this model in the GSL in the Factory Stock class and looking to win best in class. This post was to ask my fellow modelers what they liked better, short or long and I got great feedback and not to receive an opinion in what someone thinks "it should represent" you a funny guy!

I think the short stacks give it more visual appeal. JMHO though. It's gonna be cool regardless. 💯👍

[SpeedAndViolence]

Definitely go with the short stacks.
