I’ve surfed the site and there’s info on the crosswind intake but nobody’s posted how it’s working for them
 
I take it you're referring to this:
Small Block V8 Mopar Crosswind Intake Manifold Satin (professional-products.com)
Haven't used it myself, but general concensus is that quality is somewhat below Edelbrock's Air Gap, but overall a decent manifold for the price. Shows as out of stock, however- who knows when the next boat from China will come in.
I have used the old PP crosswind 2bbl. FI intake (don't think it's offered anymore) and it was a decent manifold also.
Comparable to the Crosswind is the Speedmaster Mid rise Air Gap clone, which I have used and was quite happy with, plus it's a bit cheaper than the Crosswind, and in stock. Too bad you just missed their Black Friday 40% off sale.

Well yes and no I bought one ten years ago for 150
I’m nearing completion of my project and I was hoping I got the parts to work together well I’m hoping that the
Crosswind pulls hard from 2000-6000 as that is how the rest of the car is setup
 
Buy the one made in AMERICA..buy the Edelbrock stay away from that Chinese crap!!
 
Bought 3 speedmaster intakes. 1 has been in service on a 318. Works great, sealed fine. Glad I bought it brand new for 135 dollars.

It didn't work for me. Mounting holes for LA heads were at wrong angle. Sold to member here for a loss and bought an RPM from a FABO member.

Sorry I meant that I had bought a crosswind
 
Is that because you bought a 66 and newer manifold for 65 and older heads, or the manifold was machined incorrectly?
No, the heads are EQ Magnum with LA manifold holes. The Edelbrock fits good. Maybe the Cosswind would have fit the 65 heads!
 
I bought one a long time ago because it was what I could afford at the time and all the build warranted. It looked rough but worked well. If I bought another Id clean it up first.
