Ok now I remember what I was thinking about. The torker has an X shape with the runners. The torker 2 has more of an rounded X shape with the runners.

Re: What intake manifold is this?? (GDaina)
while we're on manifolds, how about a Holley Strip Dominator?

WOW! No heat crossover and VERY tall! Pretty neat!
Never saw one for a big block though. You ughhh...you don't happen to HAVE one in minty-new condition for sale do you? ;)
Hey...I got an "off topic" question. I got my M/T aluminum valve covers. They are in good shape with no cracks. I've been polishing them with Flitz but having only fair results. Some discoloration I can't get out no matte how hard I rub. Is there an aluminum polish that is super powerful that doesn't require a ton of rubbing? Something like that liquid they dip jewelry in that instantly polishes it. Dng stuff doesn't work on aluminum or I'd be out buying it tonight!

SIG: Just found a Torker for rectangle port with twisted top.
It is marked "Torker" on the manifold though.

Re: What intake manifold is this?? (Dep)
Dep/George,
Seems someone on this forum said there was not an aftermarket aluminum intake for a '71 LS-5. Time to learn a little more about the 454's. What are the heads on a '71 454...oval or rectangular port? These are the numbers I found.
Drivers side: C25-71 GM10T 3993820
Passenger side: A28-71 GM9T 3993820
And what were the heads on the LS-6 and matching intake?

Re: What intake manifold is this?? (Dep)
The Tarantula manifolds were some of the best intake manifolds that were ever made... I use the TM-1 (Tarantula Manifold-1) on my '68..
The difference between the TM-1 (or TM-2 etc) and the original Torker manifolds is the size of the runners.. The TM's have larger runners and a higher RPM range...

Re: What intake manifold is this?? (Sigforty)
bgrice: I have the LS-5 in my '72. It is round port, NOT rectangular. The 1971 454 had TWO types of heads...round on the 365 horse hydraulic lifter version (LS-5), and square on the 425 HP solid lifter version. The LS-6 also had ALUMINUM heads. I am switching to rectangular port aluminum heads, so that's why I'm getting a rectangular port manifold :)
The manifold that came on the LS-6 was a rectangular port LOW RISE aluminum manifold.
It DOES fit under the BB Vette hood though. Nothing really wrong with this manifold other than it doesn't breath quite as well as a high rise. But that would mainly be noticeable at top end. I have one that is in minty condition but I'll tell you right now they are pretty scace/rare and do NOT sell cheap.
Mark: Glad you feel better. ;)
There is another manifold thread starting if you guys want to check out "the action" there. Hehehe :D
