I have seen a few of these lately on e-bay.

Would they make a decent truck intake?

Don't know anything about them. I mean, I have heard of the manufacturer, just know nothing of their applications.

Is the dual port like a dual plane you always hear about being what is needed in a truck?

Thanks.

 

"Dual port" is more like a dual single plane in general terms. Both sides of the carb base feed all 8 cylinders. The idea is to give all the cylinders the same amount of fuel. I haven't heard much about it myself but this is all from what I can gather just by looking at one.

 

I ran one years ago and I definetly liked it. Actualy the Offy "Dual-Port" is a compromise between a "dual-plane" and a "single-plane" manifold. It gives you small runners and high velocity on the primary side of the carb and large runners for top-end power when you open the secondarys.

If my memory serves me right its great for a 460 from 1,000 RPM through 6,500 RPM. I wouldn't hesitate running one on a truck.
