RE: Here's what i've copied from various forum's

Aloha again,
I was one of the fellows involved in that earlier discussion regarding the M/T cross ram intake.
The Story: 10 years plus ago I'd bought a big neat looking intake. It had M/T cast into it and not much else. As I got more into cars, I found out it was for an FE, and it was missing the rest of the critical parts. I eventually bought a second and slightly different M/T "Power Ram" marked cross ram, with the accompanying part number also cast in. The biggest difference is the first manifold has four individual ports beneath the carb, while the latest one has an open plenum design. Fortunately, the second manifold also came with a modified distributor and the block adapter. I reverse engineered a drive mechanism off the cam using an old distributor shaft, and have an ARP drive shaft for insurance. Oddly, a couple weeks later, a friend told me he knew somebody selling another cross ram locally, so I went over, saw he had an Edelbrock with a pair of tricked out 660s, and after picking his brain for a couple of hours and parting with $300-350, had another cross ram. What are the chances, in Hawaii after 30 plus years... Anyhow, he used to race the Edelbrock on his 428 69 Mustang coupe, and said the carbs helped a lot, as up to then, it wasn't a good runner.
I'll have some more feedback later, as I'm still building my 454FE. I've now got the Edelbrock heads and Erson roller rockers (5 sets on the shelf at Summit when I got mine, and they aren't anodized like they were pictured in the past). Cam selection is next.
Let me know if I can be of help, or if you'd like I can put you in contact with me friend I got the Edelbrock cross ram from. Robert

PS: I'm still looking for another M/T aluminum carb scoop for my cross ram setup. I believe this was originally for marine applications. I've also got a few plain aluminum ones. Aloha.
This thread, so far...
