Hey, I am a RB guy but I think Polys are neat. The old dual quad manifolds are old technology, But they are very high on the WOW scale when you open the hood. I am thinking about running the dual quad manifold CH4 on my 440 just for that reason. I know I can get more horsepower with a Dominator, but what the heck, it is a street car. I am kind of sorry I sold my Poly truck, I was looking forward to building one. Earl Hi Earl, No, I know your manifold is a stock dual plane. What I was trying to say is that the factory dual quad is a single plane manifold and that when I put my factory dual quad next to the Wieand manifold I was surprised to see that they look identical right up to the point the carbs mount. I mean the same squared off runner area and plenum. Now no is saying stay away from the dual quad setup because it is a single plane and the velocities are too low, yet it looks the same as the Wieand. Someone said the dual quad was 50's technology, but so is the single four barrel and the B/RB engine! I was just hoping there was some hard data as to how they perform. I know, I should just drop a 451 in it and not worry, huh? :-) Thanks, Ken -----Original Message----- From: Earl Helm [mailto:earlh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, November 18, 2004 4:07 PM To: 1962to1965mopars@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: 318 Poly manifold and carb Ken, The Poly manifold that I have is NOT a single plane. It is a duel plane manifold, square bore. I don't have a dual quad manifold, it is a SINGLE quad manifold...... Cam is a function, but if you check flow numbers on Polys you will find that they flow much better than the later 318s, their ports are bigger to start with. It does not take much to cut down the velocity and then the horse power. I was just reviewing a dyno report on a supped up 318 (not Poly) and it was making 325HP with 318 heads that were mildly ported, they then put 360 heads on it, (yes they were milled to get the compression up) and the HP dropped to 293. On my 500IN motor, I am being very careful with the port size - VS - cam and compression to make sure I have the velocity needed. It is more important than most people think. Earl Earl, Would it have the velocity if it were stroked to a 400 CID? I would hate to go back to the HEAVY cast iron stock manifold. ...and I've said it before and I'll say it again. The factory iron dual quad manifold has the SAME single plane design as the Weiand (I have put them side by side) and no one has said that one has a velocity problem. In fact Ma Mopar must have thought is was good since they put it on their cars. It looks to me like Weiand just turned the factory dual quad into an aluminum single 4 barrel. I know my 318 really starts to pull when the RPMs come up, but I think that is also a function of the cam. Does anyone have any hard data on the manifolds?

I just don't think that Polys have the velocity for a single plane. Earl, have you tried a 4 hole spacer on the Weiand? This often picks up a little low end by making the runners a bit longer and improves signal to the carb. The taller the better. Just a thought....Joe [AD removed for archives] ------------------------------------------------------------------- Free CD Player - makes a great stocking stuffer. caacSnNbV1hOjf/PermissionData ------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
