New?, I haven't seen a new one offered for sale in years, heck I think the one I bought was the last one I've seen advertised, which was years ago.

Bruce is this particular intake for the 3.8 or 4.1? Just that I never seen it before. Cool Intake!!!

What would be a fair price for one of these now? Is there any performance advantages of this intake over say a champion or BGC intake? I would like one new, reconditioned or any otherway to match my M&A valve covers.

The intake is for the 3.8. The intake is made by Weiland for M&A if I'm not mistaken (I'd have to look at mine to refresh my memory). They came with removable runners, both long and short. The box theory was designed to promote equal distribution of air. Unfortunately the design of the long runners (which I have x2) is a bit weird. At WOT, the air rushing through the TB enters the box, but hits the first runner wall. The runners should have been shorter in my opinion, so that air doesn't hit a wall at first entry into the box.

I have two of them now and as stated they are very difficult to find. I've had one for 2 years and bought the other about 9 months ago. I've been jonesing to get them on the T and project datsun for forever and needed some pics to get me motivated.

If you can find them for about $600, you've done good.

BTW - Thanks Bruce for the motivation. Nice pics.

I have a stock manifold that I had welded up, and gutted so as to try the big box theory (actually there's more to then that, IMO). And yes, it did work, ie I had to add ~8% more fuel to maintain the same AFR. And it took a fair bit of work to get the Accleration Enrichments correct.

When I get the bigger motor in, is when I'm planning to use the M+A, and the runners will be much shorter (for openers).

$600 would be a steal, IMO. I had to haggle and hunt for long time, to get mine, and wound up paying $1,100.

Man I would like to flow test one of those.

Jason,

I'll see what I can do as far as flowing them. The biggest issue with the intake as I see it were the poor mounting tabs made of aluminum. They often broke. I am having both of my intakes repaired for this problem. When finished, they will go to Don Redmon at Replika Maschinen for mild port and flow work. He will also be doing my heads and cam selection. I will have him flow them on his home made bench. It is one of the largest home made benches in use and dead nuts accurate.
