Intake Question

[Taylorman]

On intakes that are open on the bottom like this one, what do you use below it to seal off the top of the engine?

Looks to be for a 440 Mopar, which has a separate valley cover that goes over the lifter galley.
Pontiac uses a similar setup.

Looks like someone marked it 440 with a blue marker.

Looks cool for a Hot Rod, but who runs those on a JETBOAT!!!!!!!

Those are my Dominators. Intakes on Big Block Dodges are open on the bottom. To seal the bottom you use a "valley pan" on a stocker, or a flat plate with this manifold I have.

I think you pull the top cover off of a piece of Carver audio equipment and bend it to form a nice black custom valley cover. :D

Indy has an aluminum valley cover that complements thier intakes, an OEM valley tray wouldn't look right but will work. That would be one kick ass set up on a jet boat. Indy is top quality stuff. :cool:

I didn't buy it cause I am going to make something nicer to hold parts for the fuel system. I have the matching heads to go with the intake.:)
I agree on the valley pan deal. it would look really goofy under a manifold that tall.

It fits a 440 or INDYs MAXX block 572. It came to me from INDY with that stupid marker on it.

I'm about to show my age. Carver (and Phase Linear) used to be silver or brushed aluminum. O.k. that was back in the 70's.
Oh yeah............that would look pretty cool with the right piece to cover the lifter galley (on your JETBOAT)
