My buddy showed me his masterpiece today. He fabbed the intake and reworked the timing cover to run a Chevy distributor with pertronics. It’s a 2008 Hemi. Kim

This is the second one he built. First one had a square tube tunnel ram. He made 3 tops for it. Kim
Reminds me of the factory intake manifold on a Chrysler Firepower that a customer brought into the shop back in 1977. The car was an Imperial.
I actually asked him that. He said that if there is enough interest he will make more of this set up. Did u see that there is only 1 plug wire to each cylinder? The other plug is under the valve cover plugging the hole, it’s not used. He machined the gear to run the dist off of an old cam. Kim
The distributor part is what intrigues me.

Very nicely done. Arrington markets a distributor kit similar to that, but I always like to see guys who do things (often better) themselves. That's hot rodding.

If he is willing to make this for others I'd be interested! Would love to see a bit more detail. Likely just the distributor part. I could make my own intake.

how about a tunnel ram? I could be interested in one "just incase".
He made a tunnel ram with 3 tops for the first 1. He would need ur timing cover to modify. Kim
Cley, I’ll talk to u tonight about it. Kim

You can run that engine on one plug without issues. The second plug on the stock system fires 5° after TDC to clean up emissions and to keep the Cadillac convertor small.
Ya, something like that is what my buddy said. Kim
Looks cool but does it run!?? Bet it will!
His first 1 ran flawlessly. Kim
