WANTED Weiand Action plus Intake manifold for RB

[Stephen Richins]

looking for a Weiand 8009 Action plus intake manifold for a RB motor. From what I have done research wise this is one of the best intake manifolds that is not taller or maybe its only a little taller than the factory cast intake as there is basically no room in my 68 Imperial engine bay for a taller manifold. I know you can buy a drop air cleaner housing but I'm trying to keep the factory one

440 Source is about to come out with what basically looks to be a clone of that intake. You might call them to check on availability.

I talked to them earlier in the week & they currently dont have one for the RB engines the guy I talked to thought they did but once he got looking he said they only have one for the B engines but not the RB. The only one they make is a raised version for the RB which I think is pretty much a clone of Edelbrock performer RPM or something similar anyway

Correct. They stock a B engine intake much like the old Weiand 8008. However, my understanding is that they’re developing an RB engine intake like the Weiand 8009 as well. The picture I posted is from their Facebook page this past week.

maybe my inquiry started the ball rolling because the person I talked to on the phone seemed surprised they didn't make the one for the RB engines
