Max wedge intake

[1965ply]

Does anyone know what the difference is between a max wedge intake and the crossram for the 440 heads.. I know the ports are different in size... Will the max wedge crossram work with 440 heads
Thanks

It will work if the heat risers on the 440 heads are blocked. If not you'll get exhaust gas in the valley as the Max Wedge intake doesn't cover that port. A thin plate using two small screws to hold it to the head. One upper and And lower screw with some high temp RTV worked for us. It is necessary to grind clearance for the upper screw holding the plate into the intake face, the lower one clears. This wont affect it later if you want to return it to standard use. There is the port mismatch but it'll run. Ran 11.60's with one.

I bought a Max Wedge "style" Cross Ram from A&A Transmission, if you are interested in getting one.

if you get the A&A make sure you get the un machined ports so they fit the port size

My dad just ordered one from Mancini. The ports are different.
