New Summit racing intake
« on: December 24, 2015, 06:05:29 PM »
I stumbled upon this while doing an order SUM-CSUM-BB3x2 which is a 3 duece tunnel wedge manifold. Is Summit doing this? Or?

I don't really know, but if I had to guess I'd say that's a Dove part that Summit is contracting for, or maybe the whole works including carbs come from Carl's Ford Parts.  One clue is that they don't have it in stock.  Usually Summit keeps the parts they manufacture on hand.

That casting is pretty neat as it looks like it can be machined for 3x2 or 2-4 holleys.

It is from Carl's Ford parts.  He put them on the Summit site 1.5 years ago and marked them up $800.

I come from an 'old-school' direction. Ford went to 2x4s from 3x2s for several good reasons including simplicity and good distribution. Going backward on a tunnel-wedge doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Looks neat but not the ultimate.

getting one of jays intakes just makes more sense.   that intake jay reproduces is still in the top 3 in all the testing mules in the book.  and you have 3 intakes if you want instead of just 1,  for roughly the same amount of money.

Interesting setup. I too would rather ave the two four barrels. I see they also offer just the intake.

It's a single plane intake.

I agree with you Paulie, but in both Summit ads they describe it as a dual plane. I'm guessing that may be why Steve is asking ( sorry Steve if I'm mistaken).

I didn't see that until you pointed it out.  Well, it's a mistake either way.  It looks like Summit copied the text from another 3x2 intake and pasted it in for the description of this one.   Just a guess.
