Merlin Intake Manifold Question
Does anyone know for a fact, that Merlin makes the BBC Single Plane Marine Intake for an Oval Port?
I was at the AC boat show and the guy at one of the booth's was trying to tell me that Merlin only makes the Marinized manifold as a Rectangular Port.
If Merlin does make the Marine Single Plane Oval Port Intake, can someone please give me the part number, and price?
Thanks,
Panther

Merlin only makes a square port manifold. This can be used on oval ports. The design is one that will cover the oval port design.

PM 26 scarab, I think he has one of these that was actually reworked to match the oval port heads on his engine...........maybe he can let you know where / who he got it from.

If I remember correct 26scarab has a high hp motor so are you sure you are not talking about porting a intake to the heads?

I've got a Brodix intake that was welded up and ported to match my oval ports.
I'm not too sure on the part number for the intake I think it is
200-1. Brodix used to make an oval port version but I think they discontinued it.

Merlin makes a oval port intake. Its not a marine intake but it can be used. I have used street intakes for years and never had a problem. You will get a lot of neg feed back with this but you know what, when its on the motor they can't tell the differance. I can't speak for salt water use, but for fresh water I would not waste the money for the marine intake. Check out Summit they have them there.
