opinions needed. Best factory cast BBC intake.

Id offer to keep my eyes open for ya but I know too little of BBC to know what I am looking at with them... I have been stumbling upon good deals for the last little while around here...

If ya come across a pic of said manifold would ya post it? A few of the local yards have some neat stuff hanging out and are reasonable with pricing...

Dave,
He is talking about hogging the intake not the heads. lol

MB the gasket shown on Dave's post is the size of the rectangle port the OP needs.

i currently have a 427 tall deck iron intake. ran like the taliban in a catholic church until about 3500 then it fell on its face like an irish frat boy.

87irocTim... would you be interested in selling? or atleast posting photos or a casting number?... was this oval port or square? Thanks!

its a normal oval port, not peanut port. its in need of a good polishing and cleaning, you know how iron gets. most of the plugs and stuff is there, jsut came off the motor a couple months ago. ill get some pics up soon. honestly i dont know what its worth you probably know more about it then i do, im not too picky about a price. it came off of a 427 tall deck truck motor. the engine blocks casting number is 1006284 when i post pics ill have the intake numbers too.

So the criteria to watch is BBC, iron, 4150 carb flange, and square port like the gasket above?

I am going yard shopping this week if I can get away Very Happy

Let's just put it this way. That tall deck truck intake is not the best factory cast intake for a BBC...

Keep looking.
