The Y seems to really like long divided runners. That may NOT be true with Mummert heads and serious cams, but I'd have to see it.

The cane intake which was tested during the intake dyno tests had open runners and was pretty bad. Better at high rpm but still lacking over many other intakes. But that was not under boost.

I think the dividers between the runners can be open for pressurized systems but don't work so good on naturally aspirated due to the reverse pulse actions when valves are closed. May work for wide open but not for street use.

Randy used a dual 4 barrel manifold and basicly did the same thing. I know thats a working idea. I'm trying to come up with a simpler approach. Thanks. Chuck

Chuck, while waiting for cheap cragar to come along, you coould make intake using offy tripower, the center mills out nicely to fit plate and weld on, you can see center divider in top shot, just my take on making one.

I figured some of the intakes were not Y but the basic upper configuration is the same. Sure would like to find one. But I'm not prepared to spend that kind of money. Chuck

moonshadow, that's a olds intake. the old cragar 4x2 intake for the olds was open also.

Frank, I think that the adapters that Randy made for his dragster to use the scrub intake, were just one big hole with no divider. I guess that pressure forces the mixture to which ever cyl that has a valve open.
