Looks like a homemade intake but for something I have never seen before i think if I had an 430 mel I would buy it.
I tried to put a link to it but my pea brain could not figure out how to so it.
$499.99

Definitely homemade. I wonder how warped those thin intake flanges are from welding??? $50 I would consider it. $500, no way. And this is from the guy who has spent alot more getting a 6-71 to MEL Blower intake cast.

The Weiand tunnel ram top is ~$200.00 IF you can find one. I made my Y block tunnel ram with the Weiand top and it looks like it came that way from the factory. Joe-JDC

Nice work!
Could you post a view from above of the plenum(s) and port runner intersect. :)

I took a damaged Mummert 8V EFI intake manifold and cut the top off and milled the body level where the 8V enters the ports. The Weiand TR top was only 1/4" off in the placement of the plenums. I epoxied the 8 holes and blended them into the Mummert lower intake. Flows 365cfm, and made 613.3hp on my 375Y. Thanks to the internet and Cloud moving my pictures around without my input, I cannot find the pictures of the process now. The Y block crankshaft can be modified to fit a 289/302W for a stroke increase, and the bore centers are the same, so the Weiand was very easy to modify to fit the Mummert 8V and work well. Joe-JDC.

Real nice work.
