430 mel custom tunnel ram for sale on ebay

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.
