Sheet Metal Intake for 327

Ronnie Smith Jr · 09-10-2013, 08:19 PM

Wilson manifolds took one of our aluminum intakes and completely reworked the runners and raised the plenum slightly. I guess you could say they did some proprietary work, research, flowing, etc on the intake before we got it back. You could tell that there was some work and that it was not your run-of-the-mill Victor Junior. We were still able to fit the q jet under the hood without problems. I am not sure what the "model number" is to it after they redid it. We sold the motors several years ago and gave the intake to Dave Layer. Dan Jacobs now has it on his flying Chevy II.

It looked promising on the numbers and all. We didn't have the time to do A B A testing. This was on our SS/IA Camaro. This all occurred when professional and family obligations trumped racing.

FWIW
