The 2 barrel intake will require some welding when opened up, and I would highly recommend using a milling machine. Here is an album of one of those intakes opened up:

So if I get my hands on a magnum manifold, which of you gurus can I send it to to open it up for me? Seems intimidating for a rookie like me.

If you wanted to send it over here I'd have no problem doing one. It'd be exactly like mine though and not professional but very functional.

TJ, glad to see you volunteer to do one of these manifolds for one of the members, I had a feeling you just might. I've done three myself and still quite not done with the third but it'd close

Thanks Pete, I did mine with a manual mill so it took me a good 6 hours to machine mine. haha But I didn't exactly know what I was doing then either.

TJ - I have been away for a while. Just stumbled on your youtube videos on this topic and reminded me about it. Life has been BUSY. Anyway, how hard are the Magnum intakes to find? What is a reasonable cost in your opinion?
Thanks!

I haven't ran across one since that day to be honest. They pop up on Ebay once in a great while but the prices are becoming outrageous. $50 is what I paid for mine and would do it again for $200 now in a heart beat.

I paid $100 shipped for one a few months ago. It was on ebay listed as a 1961 GMC 305 V6 2bbl manifold but it's magnum intake. It has the larger carb flange and no divider in the big port.

Default Re: 305E Intake mod.

There would be no such thing as a Magnum manifold before 1966 and especially one without a divider. 1960-65 401 and 1962-65 478 small port heads engines used a semi hi-rise manifold that used the larger Bendix-Stromberg carburetor, this is actually an excellent upgrade for a 305 V6 if you were to go with the Holley 500 with a trapezoid adapter. If you plan on converting one to a 4bbl then you need the 1966 on up Magnum manifold which has the divider. Included are some pics of converted Magnum manifolds to 4bbl

The intake I picked up was cast in 68, has the trapezoidal carb flange, a divider in the plenum, and no divider in the 1-3, 4-6 intake ports.

I have a trans-dapt trapezoidal to holley 2bbl adapter that I thought about using with a GM TBI adapter, but it looks like a great source for vacuum leaks. I was planning to use your idea and mill the top of the intake flat and add a single 4bbl to TBI adapter.


Your saying there are small port trapezoidal carb flange intakes which would have a divider in the 1-3, 4-6 intake ports for the small port heads. This would be perfect for a 305 and not require the larger intake gaskets.
