Default Pontiac cross ram

Does anyone have any pictures of the linkage for a Pontiac Cross Ram?

Jeff I swapped the one I got from you to Tom Vaught plus some cash for this one that was converted to late head water passages and ports. They also added the balance tube between plenums as well as adding linkage..

You got the same intake you received from Jeff, But with some "Modifications", Skip,
funded by your cash.

Tom V.

ps The Welder was a guy named Richard Cole, who was a professional welder,
who worked for one of the companies we used, to fabricate parts for Ford Research. He did 3 of them. His intake went on a 455 engine and had a great idle and mid range 4500+ but the long runner tuning was wrong for a 7000 rpm engine.

We're all getting a little older, as well as "sometimers" setting in. Heck, I can watch a movie at night, wake up the next morning and not remember most of it. But ask me an important high performance factory Pontiac part number and I can spout it out with ease! All kidding aside......Skip you got that intake from me in about 1994, give or take a year. I had two of them and only needed one. In fact, your's I got from Rick Johnson. I also remember that I was in the process of painting my 66 GTO gasser when you came to pick it up.

I understand Jeff! Dang we've known each other a long time Jeff! How is the gasser coming?

My plan is a "throw down motor" 455 and dyno it with the M/T, a Warrior TR, and when Tom S gets the bathtub repops finished one of those

FWIW I put the M/T on some E heads and it really killed the flow, but it sure looks cool always liked crossrams!

Looking to sell the 66 as a roller, with lots of extra parts. Heck......it would be a good home for that " throw down 455 " with the crossram!!!!
