Reply to "Is it possible this thing works?"

Hi all, 1st post here and digging up an old thread to boot!
I came across this this thread while looking at clevo intakes for sale, which lead to finding a pic of one of my 8V clevo Offy intakes. Page 1 there is a pic of an Offy 360* Equaflo intake with an epoxy/bolted on top plate adapting it to an 8V intake. I hae made several of these over the years and mist if them were for straight LPG fuel use running 2x impco 425 gas mixers. Or in a couple cases 2x carter AFB or Edelbrock 4barrel carbs.
They work far far better than the currently available open plenum (basically blower intake) 8v intakes you can buy on the net.
The Offy 360 has a center divider which helps them out a lot.
They are not near as good as a good single plane intake for upper hp/tq but are a very driveable intake particularly running straight gas as a fuel.
They are not as good for real low end tq as a good dual plane intake but do allow for the extra fuel demand required for a gaseous fuel. They also work way better on a stroker (393/408 etc) than a 351ci engine.
But, good looks with 2x carbs and they have tons of hood clearance as they are very low.
Cheers,
