<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Chandler</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Here's one I picked up a few years ago. Prices got cheap the last day of the swap meet and I got this for 75.00, complete with linkage. </div></div>

I like this and I am looking for one of these to add too my tunnel ram collection. As for the say-why-and intake top they are out there and I have found two to switch out the tops leaving the carbs in tacked. The base of my intake is an older say-why-and but that top was switched out for the street like you mentioned.

I may have two of the Edelbrocks with the Dom. top. There is one on Ebay also, but I think one of the linkage tabs has been cut off. If I understand you correctly, you have two of the tops like on the Two Lane Blacktop TR?
Thanks for all the post from everyone.

Okay. I imagine any of the ones being discussed. But I will say I agree with Whitetop on TR design. Smaller plenum and runner length equals higher velocity and vac. signal.

That would be correct and they can be switched out by taking off the 6 bolts to separate the two halves.

Edelbrock TR-1X, Weiand(early style) or Offenhauser. They all came out about the same time give or take 6 months. Weiand and Offenhauser are better for the street though.


TR-1X top, Offenhauser on the bottom.

Here is some period tunnel rams.

#1 is a 1960's big block Chevrolet square port Weiand &quot;Say Why-And&quot;. It is a 3 piece manifold. The upper lid can be removed in favor of something else.

#2 is a 1970's big block Chevrolet square port Weiand manifold for two Dominators. I also had the spare to to run smaller carbs as well.

#3 is an early 1970's big block Chevrolet square port Edelbrock TR2X.

#4 is a 1960's small block Chevrolet Weiand &quot;Say Why-And&quot; 1x4.

#5 is the same as above, only smoothed and chromed.

#6 is an Edelbrock TR1Y for small block Chevrolet early 1970's.
