Forgot to mention. The primaries on the carb will be facing out toward the driver side, I think it will help low end airflow. And I was tryin to keep runner length and everything the same. Think it will work?
I have mention on here before I was looking into building my own intake for my 320 and here is the design. It will be made out of 11ga steel sheetmetal first time around. I may do a second one is aluminum or stainless later. The picture is a drawing with some dimensions but mostly just a visual. Runners will be rectangular till 1 inch before the head where the flanges will reduce it to the size of the intake port. The runners at the end are 1.5 inch square.
Carb is rotated 90* with a divided in the intake to use it as a dual plane.
What do you guys think?
Thanks ken

One more try.
I looked at your post about the slant six. I forgot that they had done that. I hope the link works... I need to pull my intake and double check my measurements and then I will start fabbing it up..
I don t understand the design ...
I think straight 8 are torque engines at low rev .
So it would need a small plenum and long runners.
You have a big plenum and short runners ....
Maybe I m wrong.
My thoughts as well, that the plenum looks huge, with short runners, which is the formula for high RPM. I thing you'd have a lot of issues with fuel puddling, especially if it wasn't a heated manifold to help vaporize the mixture. I guess if you built it so that the plenum was real shallow it would help to keep the mixture velocity up.
