These were lower boost projects like 12 psi max.
You would have to buy the box and then machine it for the spread bore manifold inlet gasket pattern. I have a couple of the enclosures on the shelf. Better ways to do it with a Square Holley but the Modded spread box box will allow Holley or Q-Jet carbs to be used with moderate boost levels on the street.
Picture of a Vortech Enclosure and the parts attached. Jegs wants $1000 for the box. I would want less for mine, LOL!

Doing it this wayin a box , does it require all the same mods with the power vavle ? Or is there a different way?
