Rebel performance poly intake

[Cloudfearless]

Anyone have experience with this intake?

Says it bolts to a poly.

Reviews say otherwise

(Port layout looks like a Poly A-block rather than the later LA A-blocks?)

Yes it is for a Poly. Very similar to the old Weiand intake.

I put a Weiand intake on my 1960 Phoenix dart 318 4bbl, it killed low end torque.
I put the factory 4bbl manifold back on it, and it was a much better driving car.
I would look for a factory 4bbl intake.

any one have a photo of the weiand intake.

Weiand built lots of different intakes back then. Like what Edelbrock did, back then.

IF the referenced Weiand-type intake is a single plane intake (as it appears to be), it WILL kill lower-rpm torque because of that design. What I see kind of looks like a tunnel ram plenum with very short intake runners, which can be even worse. For a "normal rpm" small displacement engine, ONLY a DUAL PLANE will offer good lower-rpm torque and drivability. With that much plenum space, the airflow patterns in that plenum must be chaotic.

Just soem thoughts and observations,

it says the Rebel is a dual plane so it should be better than the weiand ?

Is this not just a reboxed intake from Australia?

I was just going by looks of normal dual plane intakes. I would want to see the actual plenum before I would change my mind. NOTR to say that my mind could not be changed!

Every other dual plane iintake I have seen shows the runners from the center plenum being separate for each plane of the manifold. Not just the short sections where they meet the cyl head. LOTS of extra material would be involved to "fill in" those things if it was an actual dual plane, I suspect.

Just some observations,

A 4" stroker crank would solve most of that... lol

It sure looks like a single plane intake by looking at the casting on the underside. Here's a couple photos of the Weiand.

I have never heard or seen a Edelbrock Poly intake.

This design looks a lot like the Weiand. The photo sure looks like a single plane.

I just read last night that Toth may have a dual plane coming out. Let me see if I can find the Facebook post.

 

[Toolmanmike]

I see a Keith Clews manifold mentioned as well.

Here's the old Chrysler Power intake. It was a true dual plane.

 

[Toolmanmike]

I will contact him and see if the new intake is a dual plane.

I will contact him and see if the new intake is a dual plane. View attachment 745011

He responded. It is a dual plane. He helped design the CP intake I pictured above.

Could you put me in contact with him? I’d like to purchase an intake when ready!

This is the one I was referring to.

It looks identical to the Clews intake and the " limited supply, more coming" is telling, I think.
