M-1 Intake Manifold

Here’s the one I reworked with epoxy. I first straightened the sides of the carb base opening so that there would be one continuous piece of epoxy (instead of the two slivers on the secondary side along with the piece for the primary side) I also drilled a series of holes in the perimeter and drove in thin alloy round stock as “pins” as well as dimpled the surface for better grip so that there would be no way the epoxy could ever break off and be ingested. Haven’t gotten around to trying it out yet.

IMO, this is how and what that intake should have been. I get the TQ pattern for certain classes, but in racing all other classes, a Holley is going to be used. These are good intakes that can be made better. They can become excellent units. Again, IMO, it’s a shame that MoPar didn’t go there with an updated intake manifold and that they have stopped supporting grass root guys in favor of the modern HEMI engine.
