Why would anyone run the 2206000 intake, when you can use a '68-71 440 HP intake? I certainly wouldn't use the 516 heads either when I could use a 915 that's 19 cc larger on the intake side...

For what it's worth, I have a '65 Coronet 426 SW car, and have had no issue finding those intakes or heads that they were originally equipped with.

I'd probably use the 2206000 because you could buy one for $135.lol

The Mopar's have always been at a disadvantage. We are stuck running 50 and 60 year old intakes. They make aftermarket heads but good luck getting them. Very little to no aftermarket blocks or cranks.
I guess we'll struggle through.....

OK everybody! Let's have a pitty-party for all of the poor Mopar Racers! Maybe take up a collection.
At least the FFFord Racers don't whine.

Easy there Billy man, I'm just rattling your chain.

But you have to be honest, the Mopar folks have the least amount of parts to choose from. When you go faster than 75 mph, it takes some good parts and pieces.

Have fun and may the force be with you.

I would say Pontiac folks have the least amount of approved aftermarket parts.

Ya can put any of the B-O-P Racers on that list.
When is the last time a B-O-P Racer got a bigger cam or a change in the weight of the rotating assy.?
