Intake Manifold Spacers that Increase Torque...Do they still exist?
A while back I heard about someone developing some sort of shim that goes in between the side intake manifold covers. A gain in torque was a result of the shim upgrade due to the increase in air volume in the intake plenum. Do these still exist? Who makes them?

Hmmmn... I wonder what would happen if you put longer manifold hoses on an '85-'86? Variable length?

I think about 8mm thick spacers are thickest which will fit before side plates get too close to fuel rails. They should help on stroker top end hp as they allow easier air flow. Will not do much if anything on 5.0L.

That was the first version of MoPar "Ramcharger" intakes. I believe first used on 383's. It was replaced by a more compact design.
I'm sorry if some thought it was for a 928! You were all excited that an even stranger manifold than the one on '85'/'86's was avail.
The cast iron exhaust on these cars was equally cool - they were rectangular and very intricate. I'm not a MoPar expert (was into Fords in the early 60's), but the castings were fast looking!
