I didn't want to cut the super 400 hood so I fabbed an aluminum intake low enough to clear it, which it does barely. I am wondering if the top is too close to the top of the runner entry, they are 3/4" down from the top. The new engine is 535 with tiger heads and my victor was not even close to fitting. Maybe I can cut the top off and use 2-4 barrel set up? That would probably make for a smoother entry being right over the port entry. I also made up the water crossover to try and match the intake. I tried to route the water line behind the altenator but that could not work and I did not like the way the radiator hose went in front of the intake so I rolled some alum tubing and welded it on the the crossover. The engine was just fired up and does run well with no tuning yet. I drove it about 1/2 hour and throttle response is good with such large ports. I think Dave Wilcox said they flow about 440 or 450 cfm, he ported them. If I could get some of you experienced intake builders to critique the design, just remember that's all the height you get. I will do dyno testing later.
