Re: Value of an Original Crossram Intake
Ricks First Gen Camaro's had a forum on the crossram last year at the GM Nationals and they stated why the repros weren't that great. They aren't supposed to be because of keeping the market pure. Too many good aluminum welders out there making fakes. They had a lot of the popular manufacturers of the crossrams like Edelbrock,Offenhauser and the GM liscensed HeartbeatCity crossram on display. Very infromative about it's history. Also stated what to look for on a fake. I do remember that it was stated that the Offenhauser was the closest to the original out of all of them and that was because the intake plenum had a little bit better distribution of fuel and air. I am not an expert on any of this so I have no idea of a value, but can say that I have seen a whole entire setup with a tag of 20k on it up at Carlisle a year beforehand. Not sure if all the parts were there or correct or original restored? Just letting you know what I had seen. Hope that helps a bit??
