silent rick: Dual 4 Bbl intakes already exist for Y-Blocks, factory & older aftermarket units.  It's extremely unlikely that a new  unit like you describe will ever happen, because for one thing, the development of one would likely never recover the cost..

Found a new one, BT, in the box with all related attaching bolts, studs, and washers on eBay. List prices are now about + $100. Just lucky I guess. Bought a Summit carb for it 2 months ago. Had to wait for assembly.

any new news?

any thoughts about casting something like this? it's photoshopped and both carbs would have to be moved forward a bit but you get the idea.

Somehow, this tread got off track.  Originally it was about the Mummert single plane intake, which only about 5 were cast.  Then it switched to the BT intake.  The BT is not a single plane intake for racing, but a dual plane aluminum intake made to look like the original Ford intake in several versions with divider cut down, not cut down, Ford part number, and Ford part number with firing order.

Try FPA, they're a Blue Thunder dealer. Also make the headers for the 55-57 birds. If memory serves me correctly they're down by Spanaway, just east of Tacoma.

Ted; Thanks for the clarification re choke heat..


Paul

The Blue Thunder intake manifolds do have the provision for using the factory heated choke coils.  Instead of using a metal tube, the BT intake simply has an ample amount of aluminum cast into the heated crossover section so that instead of a tube being used, incorporates a drilled hole going from one side of the intake to the other.  The factory hardware hooks up to the exposed holes.  There’s no heated choke tube to rot out on the Blue Thunder intakes.

It's a high peformance / race intake, not really intended for everyday driving.. For northern latitudes driving, probably the best Dual plane 4 Bb'l performance intake available is the  Blue Thunder intake. It has crossover heat, (Mummert's 4 Bb'l dual plane intakes don't). although I don't believe the Blue Thunder includes a choke heat tube, so an electric choke may be needed in some cases..
