Alan,
if you check out the "Mods for Mopar 273" article, Feb 66' Hot Rod,
with Tom Hoover and Mike Buckle (of the Ramchargers), you can see the first free-breathing intake manifold. A standard 273 cast iron intake, with the carburetor butterfly openings cut-out to 1 11/16" (primary and secondary) for the first Holley carb to be mounted on the intake, during
the early stages of the D-Dart. The first carb used was a 4160 #3116
600 cfm, off the 65' Race Hemi's.
