They could make spacer/port matching plates to adapt it to a Gen1, the same as many people do themselves. Would be an easy way to go. Someone should make those adapter plates... wouldn't be hard for a machine shop to crank a few out! Probably wouldn't be a hot seller though...

If any manifold is supplied as cast it would be EASY to adapt it to a 327.
Band saw, milling machine and a hour or so..... It's the holes that make it a pain. |

Last week I was talking with the engineers about this subject, but our meeting got postponed until this week due to some of our employees attending the PRI show. I see some good input on this subject and from that I have taken some notes to talk more about. I should know more about the new manifold (and hopefully a thermostat housing) later this week. Sorry, but for those who want Gen 1 stuff I have to tell you that we won't be doing anything for the Gen 1 engines. Dennis |

Me thinks Caroll Shelby, Lee Iaccoca and PT Barnam combined would have a tough time making that sales pitch. (and I'm a gen1 fan)

Keep the input/ideas coming!!
One of our EFI engineers is off all this week so our meeting got pushed back again. In talking with one of the engineers working this project I can tell you that we will be upgrading our AMC/Jeep Pro-Flo EFI system! And as requested the new EFI intake will have the 4150 top flange. In the meeting next week we will be talking about: 1) Manifold height. 2) Improving the PCV valve baffling. (I personally haven't had any problems with this, but I know some of you have.) 3) Early and late manifold applications. 4) Fully machined verses un-machined manifolds. 5) Making the new Pro-Flo EFI components available separately. 6) I'm also going to try and push for the early OE style thermostat housing (without the sensor/switch holes), but that is going to be a tough sell I think. I would really like to hear your thoughts on manifold height and hood clearance! Thanks Dennis |

I would just try to keep the height similar to jtsllc1 thinner flange version and then people who want it taller can use spacers
Think that is the best way to try to obtain as much hood clearance as possible But on the other hand I don´t see any problem with the intake being taller than the Torker since if you want a lower intake you then have some to choose from |

Now you're talking, but the reality is that if it needs a hole in the hood it's going to limit sales considerably. Make something that works better than a Torker for both carby and EFI and you will be on a winner. If you want to sell manifolds, make something new that works, someone who wants a Torker, can buy a used one any day of the week so they aren't forced to buy a new one. |

Edelbrock seemed to have no interest in the tunnel ram. I showed them the Edelbrock / Offy combo using the EFI base and the Offy Tunnel Ram since the runners were a better size and there is 3 options for a top. The Offy intake lined up real nice for the raised port heads after I cut it to fit. The Offy Tunnel Ram will slip right through the EFI base to be welded on the head side of the base flange not on top of the EFI base. |
