I imagine there's wider interest in these applied to 'hot rods' and other Mopars but thought I'd start with more of a purist crowd here. I'll contact the 59-61 Forward Look and 300 crowd even though long rams are individual runners. Intake flange spacers are the same.


I'm looking to reverse engineer a set of these for a project but updated with 4150 individual throttle bores and baseplate flanges. I have access to a complete 'golden' set including the 'cut-out' intake flange spacers. The new cope and drag tooling will be gated in two ways: 1) to pour just spacers for anyone looking to replace ones missing on a set of original longs or shorts to complete and 2) for eliminating the heat stove and flanges to mount to the original 1963-1964 300 exhaust manifolds. This version will include stamped and welded support brackets for either intake to be supported by the exhaust manifold to cylinder head fasteners.


Machined complete ready to install with the engineered brackets for using non-original exhaust systems(headers), center heat cross over tube, rubber tube connectors, clamps, and complete bell crank carb linkage for running 4150 style carb throttle bases. Carbs, air cleaners, and fuel lines not included. Final price will depend on quantity. Est. price is $6000 for the complete system. $1000 for spacers. If you are interested, please reach out by Private Conversation or comment here.


INTEREST ONLY. NOTHING FOR SALE AT THIS POINT.

That's awesome, IMO.... can't imagine how much interest at this point tho.
 
3-D printed rather than cast? Same type of plastic used for some of the later Neon 4cyl intake manifolds? Which might need some cast-in supports for good measure, but any carb base plate? Maybe even port EFI?

Just thinkin' . . .

Yes exactly. 4150 style baseplate is pretty common to throttle body EFI whether port or TBI.
 
Those pieces are not really spacers, they are intended to block off the Heat Riser ports in the heads. The reproduction pieces are made long to be hacksaw trimmed to fit your manifolds. It is possible that those ports may become too hot for plastic block off plates. Long rams had exhaust heat under carbs and short rams were to have hot water under carbs.
