I went back and looked at the pictures of the Shelby ram box and I see what you mean with the intake runner length. I would have come to all of the conclusions you did once the excitement of discovery of the manifold had worn off.
It is interesting that Dan Jones had tested the Offe 360 and it did so poorly. I can't keep up with his results. I need pictorial data spread sheets to.
I suppose right now the only way to get a decent 2x4 manifold for the C is to build a sheet metal one.
Edelbrock may eventually decide to build one but since they are invested in the old Carter design under their name, there is no reason to even hope they would build one for Holleys. Not that Holley are the center of the Universe, they are just a better alternative to the Edelbrock carbs. Personally I think, that they are a much better carb.
Thanks for you insight K. I suppose we would all love to see a nice 2x4 intake for the Cleveland?
I always thought that the 427 Ford Tunnel Wedge design would adapt reasonably well to the Cleveland. It is about the size the engine can use.
