Poly Intake Manifold

Post by NevadaCrew »

Hey all. My name is Todd,, and am located in Northern Nevada. I joined recently, but have been lurking along time. We have been working on our old 64 crew cab w200 for a bit. It has been in my wife's family for 40 years. We aquire it a number of years ago but finally focused on getting her back on the road. I have been casually looking for a 4 barrel intake for it for years. Currently have a carter BBD on it now but would love a 4 barrel some day. Figured I would ask here and see if anyone might have a poly 318 intake they are willing to part with. I would prefer the dodge cast manifold, but would take a aftermarket aluminum one if it were an option. Any leads on one let me know please.

The original cast manifolds are extremely scarce and more so on trucks. Search the old car world too.
I've only ever seen one, it was over 20 yrs ago on a D100 in a wrecking yard. Got it, then sold it a few yrs later.

Yeah, I realize they are rather scarce. I just thought I would throw it out there, you never know the answer if you do not ask the question.

I frequent the shows in Carlisle pa.
I have seen a half dozen or so. The single 4 barrel steel manifolds are about 550. I saw one dual quad for 450. I don’t know if they were from a truck or not.
There is also an offenhauser aluminum manifold. I have only seen them online.
I decided against the poly 318 idea. Now I am far to deep into the big block conversion to turn back.

The dual quads are less money, probably because getting carbs that fit is a big hassle.

I have been gathering parts to go big block for years, I have everything now but there is a part of me that likes the poly. Seems a little more unique and different. 3 duces would be cool too but again, a pain to tune. I know they are not cheap. If anyone comes across one keep me in mind!

I hear the Holley 2300 500 cfm 2bbl's with the Transdapt adapter make the poly run pretty good.

Yeah, Northern Nevada. Pretty much the Reno/Sparks area. Never been to Perry Spring, might have to put that on the to do list!
