No price but here are pics of the tunnel ram with the supplied plenum on engines.
And here are pics of the tunnel ram with a highly modified plenum top.

It is. I got a defective tunnel ram from John M, and cut the plenum off, milled it flat, and fit a 289 Weiand Tunnel Ram top to the Mummert. I had spacers CNC'd to give me more plenum volume, but have since decided it is not needed, and have removed the spacer. Hopefully I will be able to get the 375 Y back on the dyno sometime soon, and give it a workout. It was used on the 2018 EMC entry that placed second in the Vintage Class. Joe-JDC

Phil. It would LooK awesome, BUT I doubt that you would much like your 'Bird's low end performance, throttle response, and drive-ability.
Perhaps installing 4.50 something rear end gears and jacking the idle speed up would make it live-able. Too, a 5 speed transmission with the right 1st gear would help to make it work-able.
Apologies for being a wet blanket about this particular thought. THANKS for all the constructive input you've generated on the Y-Blocks Forever Forum this year!
Happy New Year!

It was meant as a joke. I think funny thoughts. Actually, I ran a tunnel ram on the street years ago. It had two out of the box Holley 600s. It didn't drive all that bad, I enjoyed seeing little kids point at the carbs when they pulled up to a light and the smile on the faces of the drivers. Old hot rods are cool.
I'm into Y-Blocks because they bring back memories, most of them good. If I had a time machine, I would go back to 1965 with the money I have now. I would march right down to my local Shelby dealer and buy a 1965 GT350 and a 7 liter Cobra. I could probably buy a supercharged 1957 Fairlane for $1,500? I would buy my high school buddy's 1957 Custom with the straight front axle and my best friend's 1961 Starliner. I spent my life recreating those cars.
