Yeah they did with the long runners. It was a pretty good design IMOMade like 200 hp...
No such animal...
From what I read it was a modern take on a crossram intake.Yeah they did with the long runners. It was a pretty good design IMO
Not just one, they have the only one in the Vette museum!They have one in the Corvette Museum.

Yes I trolled, it too had the Crossfire 350.
Yes sir. 82 and 84 Vettes, and 82, 83, and 84 Camaros and Firebirds.
Yep. It evidently bridged the gap.82? I didn't realize the C3 got it.
What do you mean as in set up? its an edelbrock 650 and an hei dist. has an elec choke and will be a turd until the choke actually clicks in and decides to work? this is the second one ive had cause i thought it was a problem with the choke but this one does it too. Have to pump it 3-4 times and hold it wide open till it fires up.
An engine that won't start at -20 F has something wrong with it. Is it that cold where you are?Many people have spent many cold winters driving carbed vehicles.
ABSOLUTELY.I think that you need to focus more on tuning that carb.
THANK YOU, thank you, thank you.You are squirting gas in with pumping it, then clearing that gas out by holding it wide open. Makes no sense.
A consistent problem with starting any vehicle with a carb, is that the gasoline will evaporate out of the float bowl when the vehicle is parked. This is especially bad in hot weather, but it happens in cold weather, too. What fuel may remain in the float bowl has had the easily-vaporized components of the fuel removed, so that what's left is the hard-to-vaporize stuff. If the fuel won't vaporize, the engine won't start.Is the fuel pump working? Is the top butterfly closing when the motor is cold? Is there consistent power to the choke (if electric)?
It was a piece of crap using tiny runners producing no real power. The hot set-up was to put a Smoke-Ram, or Offenhauser Cross-Ram base on the engine, fabricate a flat sheet-metal cover, and mount the two pathetic one-barrel TBI units on that. Then spend time "tuning" the EGR out.From what I read it was a modern take on a crossram intake.
I didn't say it was a good take on the idea....It was a piece of crap using tiny runners producing no real power.

There's a guy that has cast aftermarket "crossfire" manifolds specifically for the '82--'84 Crossfires. They're called "Renegade" manifolds. I've heard of them, never seen one. They may still be available via Summit. ( I can't find it on the Summit site)
That's a loaded question, ha ha. A bored 46mm throttle body flows ~650 CFM which is enough for 6000 RPM on a 5.7L engine. The 7.4L 50mm can feed more. You want torque, go with ~ 170 cc intake runner aluminum heads. You want top end go bigger. Vortec heads (1.90/1.60) flatten out with over .500" lift where my Summit Racing heads (170 cc intake, 62cc chamber, with 2.02/1.60" valves) flow better up to .600". It's a myth that you can't go with a bigger cam on TBI, you just tune for the lower vacuum, AE and PE. You may need a VRFPR to get it to idle better.
There is the EBL Flash-II which tunes its VE tables automatically. A more aggressive SA table helps too. Unfortunately it doesn't support an electronically controlled trans but, with your NV3500, it should work. I guess the question is, how much do you want to spend?
Stock TBI unit about 330-350. 454 TBI unit about 500. Dual TBIs a hell of alot.
