Crosswind Intakes
I have a CrossWind on my 360.
Yes they are made in China just like most of the parts you buy for your engine these days. However they are not a knock of the Air-Gap. I have seen the Crosswind side by side with the Edelbrock Air-Gap and other than the opening under the plenum they are as different as two intakes for the same engine can be. As a matter of fact the finish on the casting of the Crosswind is better than the Air Gap.
These manifolds are designed by Professional Products out of CA. They even have one for Oldsmobile engines, something Edelbrock does not have.
As far as which one is better until I see a back to back comparison I will reserve judgement.
