General Discussion / Re: Crossram, was there ever a single carb adapter plate?
« on: March 28, 2023, 10:27:46 PM »In the April 1972 issue of Car Craft, there was an interesting article about Smokey Yunick developing a single carburetor cross-ram intake manifold for use in the 1970 Trans Am series:

Mark,
Smokey fixed all of the issues with the Cross-Rams internals to make it work better. Smaller plenum, shorter runners. Also, racers did more modifications (as seen in the article) to achieve even more. I believe IF Chevrolet continued with the factory involvement in Trans-Am racing for 1970, they would have used Smokey's design Cross-Ram. As noted in the article, GM did attach a part number to it. However, it was a little too late by then. The show was over.
