Intake manifold options for a Magnum 5.9/360

[Kern Dog]

Forgive me, I actually did do a search on this but found nothing....which surprised be a bit.
Regardless, I'm curious about what intake manifolds are available that fit a Dodge 5.9 Magnum engine. I'm looking for a basic dual plane mid rise single 4 barrel design.
I remember this one....

....BUT while the picture shows a Magnum style vertical intake bolt setup the Magnums used, it is described as "Small Block". The price is unbelievably cheap too. Compare that to this one...

Almost FIVE hundred dollars for an intake manifold ???

the air gap and the knock off air gap are all you're gonna find new. used you can occasionally find the M1 dual plane, but it'll be about the same price as real deal air gap.

there are arguments conversations about power per $ or lack there of either way on the three of them.

Looking at the Crosswinds a bit closer....

It does look to have both bolt patterns to it.
Why the heck is it so cheap ??

 

[junkyardhero]

yeah that's got both. and a coil mount!

that's about what the hong-kong phooey intakes run: 130ish~175ish

check 'em when you get 'em, sometimes the ports is off.

I used the ebay airgap at $127. I believe all the chinese intakes are the same. It’s pretty well made and the ports line up well. There’s one major flaw, which is that the magnum bolt holes are the LA width instead of the thinner magnum width, so the intake doesn’t line itself up when you drop the bolts in. If you aren’t careful you can end up installing it not aligned with the ports and even so far back that the distributor won’t line up. Not a big deal if you know to look out for it though. IMO it’s a very good intake for the money.

Sadly there is only those 3 dual plane intakes available for the Magnum. But those 3 have you covered.

I’d be surprised if you could find the M-1 cheap as people think they are made of gold.

The engine that I might be getting has an M1 single plane and a cam bigger than I prefer. This is the 380 HP version 360 that Mopar Performance sold for many years.
I won't be drag racing this car, I want low end and midrange power. I don't care to run it over 5500 rpms so a single plane isn't a good fit for me.

Hey brother check Walmart they were selling the knock off airgap for like 125

That blows my mind how they can be so cheap!

I'm sure the dual plane makes more low end torque, but the M1 single plane also does a good job down low, at least on my 380hp crate it does.
