Dove Tunnel Wedge

[MeanGene]

I'm considering selling my Dove Tunnel Wedge manifold. I will probably never use it, as I have a couple of Jay's adapters and a bunch of 351C intakes for them. I understand that the Dove versions are more large cid/RPM than OE Ford ones? Any actual experience with using them and pricing? This unit was on a V-drive with a 454 setup, and has 660s with nice lines and guage that I would like to keep, but don't have to. Thanks

Look in my book, there is data on both the Dove version and the Ford version.  You can compare them, but basically the Dove is down in the low end and midrange and up in the top end.  But the difference wasn't really that much...

That's what I've always heard, that they were good on larger cid/high RPM

OK, went upstairs to see what I have- it is indeed a Dove. Thanks to those who posted the differences, and Jay's book. Flat plate valley cover, and the water passages per Jay. Very clean, and is silver coated with something. I separated the intake from the 660 setup to get it downstairs, still a little wobbly on the stairs from my torn Achilles. Will get the nice 660 setup down in a bit and get pics
