Anything ever made similar for the /sbc BBC?
Anyone know history on thsi stuff

Lots of guys here may have had hands on back in the day share whatever info you have on it. Love this thing (other than it appears like a heat sink) lol. If I had the extra coin this would be hanging on the wall

Yep....NASCAR stuff. Edelbrock had a "Rat Roaster" with similar design for Hemi's and the old Smokey Ram for small blocks was from the same concept.

Cool stuff.....

During that era they had just found the advantages to using long runner tuned ports to increase volumetric efficiency.

The cross rams were similar to tunnel rams. I've had the pleasure of being a race car mechanic on Ford, chevy, and dodge trans -Am cars. They all had long runner low rise intakes with the carbs in odd locations inside ram air boxes

Id be curious to see what the air is doing inside one of those meaning clear lid and some type of wetflow testing. Perhaps adding dye to the fluid ie black light? Would be interesting and surely find the dead spots in the plenum. Getting off track just dig this old stuff never seen one of those before

have considered a crossram just for fun but seems the ports may not handle a 1206 and may need lots of time tuning carbs. Cant beat the cool factor though. Well unless you could mount two huffers on em

Smokey did tons of testing using a clear cover on the SY-1 intake. They work like gangbusters in the RPM ranges they are tuned for.....out of the range.....NOT SO GOOD! I ended up modifying 2 NASCAR 390 Holleys to get my 302 Z/28 X-ram to run correctly back in the 80's....it did MPH a higher speed than my 302 hi-rise but ET suffered with poor 60ft times.

I had 2 of those intakes in the past one came from Nascar racer Lennie Pond the other from Maurice Petty. I tried it on the street but it started pulling hard about 4 thousand .idled pretty bad but that was mostly the cam.a neat find I'm sure someone out there may want it.

Been looking on/off for one of those, one that has a single quad or maybe even a CR lid. Either they went too fast or they were too proud of them. May be a pig on the st but the eye popping factor
Used to have tons of old oddball obsolete pieces, a collection of sorts yrs ago purged em and cleared some space.
Dont know i fthey would work with tall valve covers anyway
