I worked in NASCAR for a good ten years. The level of quality that goes into those engines is phenomenal. But they sounded so damned crisp and clean with the 14.5:1 or higher compression that you can actually hear the most minor difference in an ill cylinder. They are so much easier to tune by...

That stick sounds similar to mine. I like the sound of good compression. That "poppy" makes for crispness in the idle and throttle response. I am still entertaining installing that Whiplash to get me angry sounding as I wanna be. Just dragging my feet. I think the VooDoo stuff is good quality...

It's important to me. This is the first time I have ever built one that isn't modified to high hell. It's the way I want it to be. This cam is so mild you can barely even hear it once the engine is at operating temp. I installed a 650 AVS on it. I have been training for deployment so I haven't...

So I haven't finished my port matching on my '69 intake yet, but I needed to close up my engine until I get back to it. The cleanest manifold I had lying around was the 2186, so I sat it up on there. That triggered my curiosity, so I put on my 1/4" gasket, the carb, and the air cleaner, then...

I am a fan of the #1411. Contrary to popular belief of this forum, I have had excellent luck with them. However, the last one I bought and tried on this 383 wouldn't even run. So I sent it back and got this AVS. I had one before and it worked well for exactly the purpose you just laid out. I...

BAM!!!!! Took some gathering and work swapping, but I got my 2806301! It's been neglected for awhile, but I'm all over it. Got the blocked heat passage valley pan, the SCE 1/4" carb gasket, and a shiny new 650 AVS! Just have a little cleaning up to address, and should have things together soon!

That's a small block intake? You mean #2186?

A383, my stock 361 didn't have this issue in the slightest. This is the intake and carb off of that engine and it had the same valley pan on it. That's one of the things about this problem that confuses the hell out of me. Operating temp is the same, intake is the same, carb is the same, valley...

I have modified the throttle brackets before. Not usually a huge deal. But there are several aftermarket brackets out there if you do need to change. The throttle cable length could be an issue. My car was originally a 2-V car, so eventually I will have to cough up that $100 to change my cable...

Those temp guns are handy as hell! I do need one.

Oh yeah! I ordered it a few days ago. I just dunno about putting those fiber gaskets under a stock manifold.

I haven't honestly got way to check intake temp. I am just going off the way it changes from running great to sluggish and won't restart because of the flooding. Obviously hotter than the engine really wants. The gasket type is stamped steel as factory. This engine is built virtually stock...

There she is! I swear I looked on MRE last night. That may be my best option.

I had seen an M1 intake not too long ago that said it was basically just an aluminum version of this one. But I haven't been able to find it again. I would actually consider going that route as long as this A/C will properly bolt up.

Found one. You have all given me insight and options. I will now pursue this. More to come......

Gpuller......you're killing me! LOL!!! I have had entirely too many days suffering from those ole "Holley blues" trying to get them to adapt to the constantly evolving Oklahoma weather. Ain't nobody got time for all that! If this was a four speed, I would consider a Braswell double pumper or...

I have the phenolic spacer still. I plan on putting it back on the manifold when the AVS shows up. I don't know the casting number off the top of my head. I believe it was from a '67 383. It still uses the small bolt pattern on the mounting pad and the spacer I have is the only one I have found...

I had considered that Street Demon carb too. It has a great reputationso far. It is a massive carb. I am just familiar with the AFBs. I owned a 650 AVS once too and aside from it not flowing enough on that 351, it ran great. If I can figure out how to cool things down and stop flooding so...

I have been through all that stuff. I have worked the bugs out of everything except this heat problem. It fires right up until it reaches operating temp. It seems as though the engine itself is at 180 degrees but the center of the intake is the temperature of the sun. I am ordering that valley...
