ya .. just for the look of it. not going nuts with it .... just the cool factor.Understand that the 2 X 4 setup would mostly be for eye candy. The single Edelbrock 750 cfm. on my '67 440 R/T felt a lot crisper on the street. My '64 looked liked like any other Polara convertible (like Miss Jane's car from The Beverly Hillbillies), but, pop the hood and it drew people like flies to a $hitpile!

Canadians shop south of the border for better deals and prices. Americans shop south of the border for better deals and prices too.I get a kick out of what you guys south of the Canadian border think is expensive. I just bought a Mellings oil pump for my 440 last week from RockAuto. $230.00 at my door; taxes, shipping, and $ exchange rate included. We only wish we could build a car as inexpensively as you guys. LOL
LOL, that’s funny. It’s not easy peeezy getting twin 4’s to out perform a single. But it should have been there IMO.Understand that the 2 X 4 setup would mostly be for eye candy.

A pair of Edelbrock 500 carbs would be just fine.
I'd throw that 413 in your 62 wagon in a heartbeat. I just hope it has decent pistons in it. For giggles, I tried to find standard 426 wedge pistons, .0625 over for your 413, found only REDICULOULY overpriced cast. I'd either run what you've got, or actually spend enough money to get a set of custom pistons exactly the way I'd want them. Not cheap.i do have a 64 413 up here... not a 385 or running for that matter ...lol
Correct on the one year only "paper only" 343 engine never really availableBefore I'd dump a 440 to use a iron 383 dual 4bbl, I'd find a weiand/edelbrock/offenhauser aluminum dual four for a 440, throw on a couple edelbrocks, and a linkage kit.
....and then tell everybody it's a tall deck 383, 343 hp, only available in 62 (after grinding the name off the intake, and painting it, of course!)
Oh, I know it was a low deck 383 in the 62s. (Only 58 and 59 for tall deck 383s, if I remember right) The "tall deck 383" story in Hacksaw's 62 was just to explain the wide (disguised) twin four intake.Correct on the one year only "paper only" 343 engine never really available
engine cooked up by Mopar and Clay Smith Engineering back then.
I owner a 62 Dodge F/SA 343 wagon called the "Orange Crate" with a
200 Lbs leaded in roof under the full length Vinyl top. I bought it not was
not the original builder. I took it to the dump in 1974 after removing running gear!
However, they were all low deck 383 by then as high decks had been phased out a couple of
years prior to that.
had a poly twin fours intake , but no motor for it . sold it .

I can, but it costs more. I have always been happy with RockAuto's prices and delivery. Their website automatically converts all purchases and shipping charges to Canadian $$$, so I know what I am paying. My best example of how bad we get treated by even our own vendors is the following. A couple of years ago, I needed a new gas tank for my 1967 Coronet R/T. The stainless tanks that most of the repro dealers sell are made by Spectra in Stratford, Ontario, within an hour's drive from my house. Unfortunately, they will not sell to the general public, only to jobbers such as NAPA, CarQuest, etc. My best price from local dealers was about $550C., taxes in. I ordered mine from RockAuto and had it at my door in 3 days for about $350C., taxes, exchange and shipping in. I saved $200C. by buying this way, and the tank had been back and forth across the border twice.wow ... thats a lot. and ya we do forget how much it cost yall to get stuff there. but. im wondering why ya can't get a Melling there.

* As a funny aside, while composing this, AutoCorrect changed "jobbers" to "robbers". How appropriate! LOL
them old 318 poly's were a good mill. thay should have kept them and left the LA on the drafting room floor.I had a 1963 Fury (Two Four set up) 318 that held the national record in AHRA way back then (12.20 in the late 60s. It. I was originally built by the Smith
Bros. and ran out of Burbank Speed. They traded me the entire car for a legal set of 426 Stage Heads back then that they were desperate to
find and i was reluctant to sell!
As i seem to recall = it was rated 260HP.
I won buckets of money beating all the new muscle cars street racing back then!!
this intake is off of a 58 350 CI. if i remember right it was a golden fury only thing. and some desoto'sOh, I know it was a low deck 383 in the 62s.

now that would look cool in my car .... lolhacksaw i did a twin fours on a couple cars , i used one inch spacers and drilled them for the intake pattern and mounted those spacers with threads installed in the outer hole pattern so i could run holleys or late afb's . the early afb's had the small bolt pattern on them , as the wfb's . i'm thinking that's what that 350/361 intake used . i've never used these sidedraft webers on a car , but it looks sweet !
