….has no one made a big block manifold with integral valley plate. The Max wedge Mopar crate motor had such a manifold, just like the 426 Hemi. I would hope TF would step up, since I’ve given up on Ed.
Because it’s a better design not having the hot oil splashing up on the intake runners. The Chrysler B/RB engines are also a dry intake. No coolant running thru them.
What does the heat crossover do, what does it affect, where is it located ? As opposed to the entire manifold exposed to the entire crankcase.I’m aware of the oil splash issue, but stockers had heat crossovers, which have to be hotter than oil splash. And no pan on small blocks, or Hemis, or the max wedge Mopar crate motors. I know it would have been easier to make the manifold than a larger port valley pan, but if someone began making one, I’d be first in line.
Why are you giving up on me?….has no one made a big block manifold with integral valley plate. The Max wedge Mopar crate motor had such a manifold, just like the 426 Hemi. I would hope TF would step up, since I’ve given up on Ed.
Me too... I have one of those. Whats the big deal with buying a valley plate from another vendor?? Sometimes they need a little modification... Also, if all fits up good, you really don't need a gasket on either side of the bathtub if thats the set-up you are running. They did'nt have gaskets from the factory.This is the rb max wedge manifold I was speaking off
Nothing, if you have an aftermarket head with a full length flange at the deck. If you are trying to use a Mopar head with open areas between the ports, it won't fly. And why not use a stock valley pan with a 440-6 intake. That's what the factory did. Should work with aftermarket heads too.What’s wrong with the Indy valley plates. I’ve used a few. My 470 B block stroker has a plate cut from a flat aluminum sheet. Probably 1/4 inch thick. I also have a 440 valley plate the was fabricated to use a 440-6 intake manifold. Kim.
