Whittmore told me the Warrior will 60ft like a RPM but have top end like a Victor, because of the long runners. It was one of the first, if not very first aftermarket single plane intakes of any make. The first one was designed for the 366 with RAIV heads and made out of fiberglass and designed from the start to add spacers for plenum volume. It was also designed from the start to be used with the new at the time Holley 4500 carbs. If you look at a 4500 Warrior one butterfly sits exactly right in the middle of two intake runners.
Mine was a 4150 that I converted to 4500 with Dans instructions. Runs best with a spacer I made out of two 1/2" thick 6"x6" aluminum plates. I made the bottom one bolt to the 4500 flange with recessed 5/16 allen heads. Then have some recessed 1/4" allens holding the top one down and 4150 studs and open under carb. And a 1" Super Sucker on top of that.
So its a 1" open adapter with the tapered Super Sucker.
The Nell, Addams crew had input on the intake being made. So it has PMD roots.
Dan W. had a magnesium version. Also a 62 389, 4 speed swiss cheese Super Duty Catalina in his garage. Aluminum front wrap and all. Wonder what happened to all his stuff ?
