We have taken on a side project using a Crossfire injection setup. Usually, people take them off and go with a 4 barrel however due to a You Tuber making a suggestion, we decided to see if we can make it better rather than just replacing it. Below is a link to the video explaining the project and why we went down this rabbit hole. We have a couple other plans for the intake when it is done however if anybody has any suggestions, we are all ears.

That intake doesn't move enough air for 2 carbs. It's a bottleneck.

Agree the intake is a big bottleneck and stock flows around 500 CFM. We have a couple things we are going to do to it that will hopefully improve this.

20 years ago there were a few people on the Cross Fire Injection forum who used an Offenhauser crossram intake to replace the factory CFI unit. I think it was the 5893. Anyway the rpm range on that thing is up to 7000rpm. I would love to see that project re-done by a shop and not in some guys garage. Not that there's anything wrong with someone being creative and figuring something out. But I would love to see a company put one together. I know they had the throttle bodies bored out and larger blades put in. The linkage was also modified to fit that intake. If I remember the one guy even got the factory air cleaner to work with it.

I replaced the intake with a Renegade to move more air and kept the dual throttle bodies. The stock heads are also restricted so I replaced the heads as well then opened up the exhaust so the engine can breath. I also changed the cam and lifters.

This is just a compact version of..

this. All the same connections minus 1 IAC valve. Let's you use any dual or single plane intake you want, so you're not stuck with ancient cross ram intakes with large plenums.

what heads did you go with?

I wish I could give you info on he heads. Mine were both cracked so the machine shop researched and came up with heads for it. The heads I have now sit a bit taller so my hood wouldn't latch with the top of the stock air cleaner so I had to build a top and kept the lower part. The intake and exhaust line up with these heads so I don't know where the added height is. I also had to change the rockers.
