Anyone know which Edelbrock intake fits 14044883 bowtie heads?

Who is near this and can check it out? Verify it's authentic etc. Etc. And can this be used in a syty?

That block is an 067 block which means its meant for medium power and more for weight savings. Only weighs in at 70lbs. Thats insanely light compared to our cast blocks. But it only supports a .040 over bore. Thats some digging on past threads here and google searching. So it'd be good for a light weight and solid <600hp build.

That intake is an old bowtie intake for a carb or tbi.

And based on the part number, those heads are nascar 23 degree heads.


So all in all, this could be put together and would make a very nice 500-600hp N/A V6 motor. And with a carb, wouldn't have to worry about a tune. With a different crank, distributor, and our intakes could make a good light weight motor.

Re: Bow tie block, odd fire, other stuff.

Well for starters... At a quick glance here's a breakdown of what could work and what couldn't... Lol...

That aluminum block (067) is the weaker of the two aluminum blocks that were produced... Supposedly can't take much more than 600 HP or so... It is a wet sump configuration, which is good..

Common pin crank, aka odd fire, requires an aftermarket ECU that can control it... Special distributor, which may be included.. This crank also appears to be a two piece rear main seal... Unknown what seal the block uses....

Heads could be used but would require custom headers.

Magnesium crossram intake, not so much....

The blue painted intake could be used but would require a conversion to EFI... Looks like the GM version of the current Edelbrcok offering..

Oil pan, not so much..

Pistons, not so much...

Rods, if they are the correct pin side size, they should work with that crank..

Headers, not so much...

Big pile of shit, maybe some could be used...

Lol... There you go!!

Hope that helps...

Someone should buy it and give themselves an everlasting headache!!!

See ya,

Would make for a fun swap in an old s10 pickup or blazer. Instead of dropping a 350 in it. Drop a "nascar" motor in it. Haha.

Re: Bow tie block, odd fire, other stuff.

One thing to add.... If that was a forged or billet one piece rear main seal crank I would buy the whole lot just for the crank!! Then I would put the aluminum motor in a go cart!! That would be fun!!

I don't know "denny" personally. But he's been on here a long time. His posts are well written, and his questions and comments have always made sense. I take his descriptions and comments at face-value, and trust him. He's one of the "good guys" and always has been.

I don't know crapola about bowtie V6's, so not even I would be able to "authenticate" it. I don't think many on here do know about them, or could "authenticate" it. Alex and John Gerber are the only current peeps that come to mind.

As far as "can it be used in a SyTy?", why not? All it takes is time, money and SKILL to solve the myriad of problems that come up in a deal like this. So not just "anyone" has the resources or skill to make it work in a SyTy, or anything else for that matter.

EDIT ADD: It's not denny's. I thought it was. VERY sorry.

DaveP , you think my posts are well written? LOL
I can't write to save my life.

I have some 883 heads on the shelf and headers, was just curious what intake fits.
Vortec intake might fit with some work.
