    Mopar guys; I've done some internet surfing and didn't find anything. Is there an aftermarket aluminum intake for a 383 with 2 barrel carb? I want to keep the motor pretty stock and looking to get rid of that heavy cast intake but keep the 2 barrel carb. Is there such a thing? This is for a stock '68 Newport.

    Thanks

    Top the aftermarket intake with a 4-2bbl adapter.

    Good luck

    If you can keep your foot out of the gas, a 4-bbl gets slightly better mileage. Chrysler used Carter (Edelbrock) carbs so a new 500 cfm is still available. I know, not a two barrel, but it maybe cheaper to go 4-bbl than to convert backwards with an aluminum intake.

    They make a six pack version for the 383, you could run a center 2bbl and make block off plates for the other two. Might seem like a lot of work, but you can always add the other two carbs down the road. Hell, you could mount 'dummy' carbs for the time being so it don't look so bad.
