Never have seen one like this before, it's listed on Phoenix craigslist (not mine) just wondering if anyone has ever seen this on a running SBF? A Cross-Ram for Weber Carbs.

Yes it was made for Webbers or dual Quads I ran 1 in the 60s on a 409 425 HP!! It had fantastic mid range and was pretty good on the street! Switched to a Micky Tompson dual quad a few years later and it had better lower range power curve but was not as good in the street I think the webbers made it a better street manifold !

I ran webbers on a cross ram years ago they still make the adapters today and cross rams back in the day were made for just about any carb. and many people modified rams in many ways !! That one JeffB posted is pretty cool and its probably the only one out there (pretty rare ) Edelbrock even made different adapters but instead of using adapters they welded on carb mounts!

They used those manifolds on Mopars before about anything else. They used to ice down that ram in between races to get extra dense air into the cylinders off the line. Probably gave em an extra 25-40 HP for a minute or two until things got warmed up.

I also saw one or two Pontiacs with that manifold with two big AFBs on it.
