Please Help Identify 4x2 intake

Did more research. It's a 318 2 x 4bbl for a 57-58 318 poly engine. I bid up to $250 and did not get it, went for $260. eBay says it's worth $400 plus.

If you don't have a need for it (like you are restoring a car that came with one), I'd say $250 was a reasonable amount.

Neil Smedley had a 318 poly 2bbl in a '62 Belvedere at one time. It ran 17.20's with a 2bbl a/t and 2.90's gear. He put a 4bbl on it with a 625 Carter and it ran 17.20's. He changed to a 3.55 rear and it ran 17.20's. He recurved the distributor and got it to the 17-teens. He then added a 2x4bbl and it ran the same.
There you go, nothing to get excited about or maybe Neil is just plain stupid!

The 1956 Fury was 303 CI and 1/4 BBL (Carter WCFB). The Optional Plymouth engine in 1957 and early 1958 (before the 350 CI Wedge) was a 318 CI w 2/4's and rated at 290 HP, mech lifters, etc. The only '56 Fury with dual quads was the car Chrysler ran at Daytona Beach, which had an adapter to a 300B dual fours set up. It ran upwards of 160 MPH, if I remember right.

Well I don't know Neal but when I was in high school (about 100 years ago) I had a 58 Plymouth Belvedere two door hard top that weighed about 3,800 pounds. With a rebuilt two barrel engine, a 3.91 Sure Grip rear end and exhaust cut outs I ran some to mid to low 17s. However I was not that great either, it was discovered after I sold it that the exhaust heat riser valve was rusted shut.

I would have thought a much lighter 62 would be quite a bit faster.

Division 1 racer Len Abrahamson said when he lived in Cali he raced a 64 dodge with a 318 Poly and it ran in the low 13s, it had a four barrel and headers, I'm not sure what else. On my flow bench I found a pocket ported Poly head to flow very similar to a pocket ported Chev 1.94" head. In a 62 Ply with an aftermarket mani, carb, cam in drag race trim, 11s should be very possible, Paul.

I ran a '65 Dodge with a poly in the Ahra and with some slight cheating got it into the high 15's but a Mopar magazine did a full out build up on a poly a few years ago and got barely over 400hp with a single 4bbl.
