Intake manifolds: RB intake on a B motor, can it be adapted?
« on: June 24, 2013 - 11:23:13 AM »
If one had an RB intake, and wanted to use said intake on a B engine can it be done with any sort of adapter?

no , the rb intake is much wider , , you can go the other way & use a B intake on a RB engine with spacer plates . the only exception to this is raised port heads like the stage 6 which use an RB intake on a B block as the heads are that much higher

That's what I thought. Just making sure there wasnt something I wasnt aware of.  I was sort of eyeing up the Eddy pro flo xt intake manifold as I'm thinking of going EFI.  Currently, at least, they only make an RB version.   Good news is I have a 440 but i was thinking of going to a B stroker motor in the future.
