    You need to modify a 4 hole,..2 inch tall spacer by ,leaving the holes alone on the drivers side, but cut out the divider between the holes on the pass. Side so that it looks like an oval race track, this equals out both plenum sizes.will need slightly more jet. With jet change and this mod, honestly, my 406, with air gap dart 200s, with 2.05s .654 lift, ft. Sounded different, and went up 20 HP. Dyno man said he had not seen this .

      When you say the "Driver's side" of the dual plane intake manifold, you're talking about the LOWER part of the plenum ---- right❓
      Sounds like a very cool idea thanks 👍

      it may not work for everyone, but as soon as i realized and came to the conclusion that i was being sad on purpose, and deep down finding some solice in being sad all the time, i made the decision one day to just be happy instead of pretending to be happy. my life changed in one day, and between that hard realization, and my dad telling me how bad i would hurt, and was hurting the family, by being depressed all the time, i turned it around and came to terms with reality, and stopped being a victim, and made the world my victim of kicking ass and taking names everyday in life and work. i wish more people had a similar story. especially young ppl going through the most difficult time of their lives which is puberty and young adulthood

Hopefully it will have the expected performance and even better if Edelbrock adopted the design. LS engines are great but the big block platform can be physically stronger. Heck an LS manifold of similar configuration sounds great as well. Great picture of Jacque!

      A 4/7 firing order swap in a 260/289/302 small block Ford can be accomplished by simply switching to a 351 WINDSOR camshaft with the same timing and lift specs as the smaller blocks. Do not use the Boss 302, 351 Cleveland or 351/400M cams. They have totally different lobe profiles to be used with 1.73:1 rocker arms which will not work in the Windsor heads.

      Not always. On a 440 Mopar, I put a Carter TQ on a Torker II with quite a lot of blending (I was committed) and the results exceptional. For example the off idle throttle response was brutal. Now I played around with a few intakes including an M1 single plane, and a MP dual plane both with an 850DP and the Torker + TQ was the pick.
      It howled up top, had awesome midrange in fact the best of the lot and the throttle response fantastic. Afgain the off idle punch was hilarious - you wouldn't think from a single plane but sometimes they work well. Torker II's were known to be pretty good on BB Mopars though.

      ​@@ThePaulv12yessir. Most people dismiss the Torker II without ever trying one. I put an OOTB Torker II with a Holley 850 dp on my 440 with 440 Source cnc heads, 11.5 to one compression and a fairly small solid roller cam. With only basic tuning it ran low 11s @ 120 in a 3500# Duster and it was totally streetable. Exellent throttle response and and torque and it pulled hard to 6500 rpm. The ports were much smaller than the heads. If it was port matched and the plenum and runner cleaned up and went in depth with tunning the carb it would have run in the 10s around 125 mph.

    Mr. Vizard;
    this has been a wonderful video for me to not just watch, but also to learn about tips for the BBC two plane manifold.
    I just recently built a 454 and it is now 496 that went into my 1978 K20 Suburban. I am going to be pulling trailers and also doing off road driving with it. I went with a Wiend dual plane and a Quadra jet carburetor (partly because I am on a very restricted budget as a Disabled Vet). I then added a one-inch spacer that mimicked the carb outlets (two holes for each side. I also smoothed out the crossover gap for better balancing (that was what we called it when I was learning to do mechanics) of the cylinders.
    I am very interested to hear more about your work on the two-plane manifold as I would like to optimize it as much as possible. I also plan to put a Thermo-Quad on in place of the Q-jet as I think it will provide better atomization and flow.
    I will be looking forward to seeing the rest of this series.
    God Bless you and all the work you do to help the less fortunate ones to get the best from the equipment that they have.

    On my mildly built AMC 360 powered CJ5 I port match my Edelbrock performer intake, reduced the divider and added a 1" phenolic carb spacer. I then added a brand new Edelbrock AVS2 carburetor. I chose the AVS2 carb for its drivability and possible added fuel economy because my CJ5 inevitably had become my daily driver simply out of enjoyment of driving it. But the performance increase over a non modified Performer intake without a spacer and with a excellent working AVS carb of the same CFM is shocking to me. I knew there would be some increase understanding the physics and operation of Internal combustion engines and the different flow characteristics between single and dual plane intake manifolds. But I didnt expect the performance increase to be as substantial as it is. It's easily noticed in the midrange and upper range of RPM . I would surmise its gained a measurable minimum of at least 15 maybe 20 hp at peak rpm and a easy 10 to 15 maybe on average hp throughout the 2000-5500 range . The bottom end while not losing any power seems to have a bit high peak for torque production allowing for more torque across a broader range of RPM. The next improvement is going to be a increase in air intake at a much cooler temp by installing functional hood scoop of some type. Which should also aid in the cooling of the engine itself by adding cool air increase to the engine compartment as well. Just working that dual function design out on paper and trying to make it both function and look good.

    in 1970 I was tired of always having starting issues with my 1968 400 H.O. Firebird in the Winter..so I removed the Quad as it would always take several tries to get the engine to start.so I bought a single pump Holley 720 and cut out the stock intake and mounted a holly adapter on top During the cutting I had exposed the upper plane on the manifold so I dug around and found nice flat piece of steel it was just a little shy of the upper flat surface about a1/4 inch but i brazed it in place anyway.. I installed the Holly.. all it took was a kick the choke on and the engine would fire instantly.. never had any more starting problems after .

    I have an Edelbrock RPM Airgap on my 454 and it’s topped with a 3310 Holley vacuum secondary that DaVinci installed rear downleg boosters in and it flowed 820 cfm. At no rpm level is this thing lacking, from right off idle to 6000 rpm! It pushes my 4500 lb C10 right past all these modern day muscle cars with ease....

    Just ran a 355ci with a Edelbrock EPS dual plane. It made the most power with the dyno's 750cfm Holly compared to my 500cfm Edelbrock. Even though the smaller carburetor gave up about 20hp, it picked up 25-30 ft/lbs from 3000-3400. Peak torque was the same but peaked slightly higher with the bigger carb.

    Hi David, I’ve been a subscriber for awhile now and I have really enjoyed your videos. I’ve been building all types of engines for over 50 years for myself and friends and for awhile I worked at a marina where I was a mechanic. Do you have a book out on the Chevrolet big and small block that would kind of cover the things you talk about? I’d be interested in purchasing one if it’s available. I was also saddened to learn you lost a daughter to depression, that is a horrible disease I myself have suffered with it in the past and it’s by the grace of God I am still here. Anyways I will continue to watch your videos and I’m sure I will enjoy them.

    I know getting a good Rochester Quadrajet to run great on a Chevy engine was at times difficult, but I ran one on an early LT1 that my brother and I built and I ran it from a dead stop and top end and never had a bit of trouble with it. I ran it on a dual plane intake manifold. In fact, I'm wanting to run another one on my current build and want to run an electric choke version. Any tips on what number to look for or what application? I'm running a dual plane intake manifold, 1998 Vortec heads, and a .506" lift Elgin Stage IV hydraulic flat tappet cam. Thoroughly enjoy your tech info!

    I'm curious, have you ever experimented with vaporizing the gas so it runs on fumes to maximize it's use? I was thinking about a simpler way than Smokey's way, and perhaps better than running a bubbler. By running a stainless steel very fine mesh under a carb spacer, or the carb. sandwiched between two gaskets to help give the gas more surface area to evaporate from the temp and air passing through the carb before entering the manifold... if the mesh restricts, then just give it a shape to counter the restriction with more surface area, like how one can use a larger air cleaner to counter any restriction from the media.

    We ported and modified a pump gas 8.2 deck 4150 sbf Super Victor that went on a 10.5 to 1 sbf 363 that had a mild solid roller cam and out the box afr 220 heads that made 650hp and 510lb torque and revved cleanly to 8,000rpm. The hp never dropped off. It was at 450lb of torque at 4,700rpm and 500lb of torque at 5,100rpm. Peak hp was at 7,400rpm and it held till 7,900rpm were the dyno stopped.

    I could see milling out the plenum of the manifold. And welding in another made from 1/4" and 1/2" aluminum plates, welded together. With extra weld to allow it to be milled and hand ground to appear as cast. A needle scaler can go a long way especially with a wire brush and some sand paper. Weld the floor into the manifold! In pieces first. So the porting can easily be done. The the top portion. It would be a great time to port the whole manifold. I wouldn't mind if the carburator flange area was about 1"-1.5" thicker than needed, (over where it ended up) so the manifold can be milled down if required. Possibly etch in lines in the dividers to allow them to be cut keeping the manifold performance near equal after being cut. Even tap the bolt holes extra deep. So nothing else needs modification! I love heavy modification of about anything. Especially engines! And engine parts. I wish I could get a job doing it. I need to learn some stuff. But I have ideas. And imagination. Can figure things out. Always worked on cars since I was a little kid! - id do it for about free, if I wasn't poor id pay to have a job like that! Have an AWESOME DAY, D.V. and everyone! ✌️

    At one time Team G offered a dual plane, Dominator flange, big block Chevy intake. I have not seen one in years, I don't know if they were oval port or just rectangle port. I think they were discontinued long ago, before Holley bought Weiand.
    The thing about a single plane on a big block making slightly less output at low speeds has actually been an advantage when I was running a car that could only fit a 9-10.5 inch rear tire. There was still more than enough torque to break the tires loose.
    I wish I could have gotten a chance to work with the vacuum secondary King Demon on some big blocks.
    Thanks for the video.

    Hi David will be fitting a holley sniper on to a dual plane manifold and the general consensus is that you have remove some of the plenum divider to make them run well (hood clearance may be a problem with a spacer) can you shed some light on this and how to figure out how much I will have to remove from the plenum divider if i need/should have to make this modification.

    I do enjoy these videos they get you thinking about stuff like what effect overlap has on a blown engine. I like the idea of an airgap two plane manifold, but putting a dominator on a street manifold seems counter intuitive. Seems like your building a street engine with all out race parts, which leads me to question why would someone need that kind of power on the street. I wonder if the 4/7 swap would benefit such a setup and how does runner length work out, for a balanced package. Interesting stuff can't wait to see the results and Thanks for sharing your knowledge and doing testing most of us wish we could do.
