CRIPES!!!!!

So.. the aftermarket world for the 318 poly is far and inbetween. You can't really find anything on forums for them because those people know what it's worth.. so they put it on ebay. I try to check out whats on there at least once a week just to see how much people are smoking, and if there's anything new... Here's what I found today... (Note... this is the most things I've ever seen in one shot. normally you'll find one intake a month since they are so rare/hard to find)

First one... Weiand 7503 Aluminum Single Plane intake (Same as what I have).. EXCEPT.. New in Box!
I have never in the.... what... 5 years I've owned the coronet and known that it was a 318 poly.... Seen a NEW never used never installed Weiand Intake... I paid 350 for mine + shipping. This one is sitting at a cozy $511.00 + 35 shipping with a full day left. CRIPES!!!!!!

Next up we have the "1957-1958" Dual quad intake.. Cast iron :help:
A Buy it now of 350.. I've seen these go for over 400. (blasted and painted... This is a stellar deal.. would be sweet to have a 2x4 setup under the hood for sure! 8)

the last one... and probably the COOLEST one... a TriPower Edlebrock p600. in my years of searching. I've only seen maybe 4 or 5 come up on e-bay. Whats not to love about 3x2 setup under the hood? :clap: This intake is the one that makes most power for the 318 polys' hardest by far to find.. they only produced them for a year I believe. And Edelbrock won't release production numbers. But it's not many!!! Starting bid @ $550.. the ones I've watched in the past go for crappy looking ones 700 and the near mind looking ones like this 800-1000. :jaw:

Would be sweet for either or.

I've been thinking more along the lines of.... 1 of 2 things. 340 (If I could find one for under.... one freakin meeeliooon dollarz) or a 360.

Get a 383... There seems to be quite a few of them around, which also equals cheaper. Complete motor & trans for cheaper than one of those intakes, even. I'm guessing you're thinkin' smaller for gas mileage? But not taking any road trips cross-country anytime soon with it either, right? Do it big! And 3 carbs would be a garden hose of gas anyways.

BUT, if you wanna tri-power that beast, I know 2 studs who make a pretty kick ass throttle setup at 3 in the morning. :thumbs: And maybe they can even put their custom Vortec intake on the carbs for ya... :lol:
