My Blown 340

my intake is similar to that,,same idea,,old offy intake with a plate on top,,,the plate is shaped perfect to the blower base,one square 4inchx4inch hole in the center,,i believe yours is a hampton built intake,,they open up the top of the intake a litle more then the dyers intake i have,.my intake has gussets welded from the bottom of the plate to different places on the intake for support,, how did your crack ?? back fire?? or no support ???
i believe the hamptons that ive seen do not have the same style pop off or back fire valve that my intake has,, when i start on my car the intake is going to be powder coated aluminum chrome,,.

I think I was running the belt too tight...it also involved a drunken burnout contest(which I won but flatened a M/T S/S tire) Yes that is a Hampton manifold..the only thing is if I weld on it will it warp the blower mounting surface? You know if I go and start weld supports to it. I might call Don and ask him if I should send it back and have them fix it.
