Anyone ever see one of these?
« on: January 29, 2010 - 09:36:18 PM »
I'm no expert but I think this is a pretty unique/rare piece. A guy I work with had pics from his friends place who is a mopar guy, he recently passed and was showing me pics of his cars and I spotted this intake. Anyone know exactly what it is?

If you are referring to the top intake its a "rat roaster" hemi intake. Never was too popular but the interchangeable tops were nice... They can still be found on  :ebay:  fairly regularly...

Oh, I was told it was an original nascar hemi intake that most people modified but this one was an untouched original. Oh well still pretty cool.   :2thumbs:

A friend of mine has had several of them. They don't work too well anywhere near idle, but if you want to run wide open continuously, they're great. Nice ones still bring in excess of a grand, maybe even up to 2 grand for perfect examples. Don't sell it cheap.
We've thought about looking into a way to convert the internals to work more like a stock intake so that we could run them on the nascar clone cars on the street. Problem is, we're not smart enough to do that kind of stuff.  ;D
