Ok, Did ma MOPAR ever make a 6 pack intake for a 383, low deck B motor. I know there are some aftermarket 3-2 barrel intakes for the 383.
If they did make them were they aluminum or cast iron?
Thanks in advance for the information.
 
Not factory. Edelbrock made them for a few years. I have one new in the box still. They are aluminum.
 
Then, if someone had a cast iron, 6 bbl intake with a cast date of 11-5-69, would that be for a B or RB motor?
 
From various websites (bare manifold):
Cast iron 440 4bbl intake: 38.6 lbs; TBV
Cast iron 440 3x2 intake: 41 or 42 lbs
Cast aluminum 440 3x2 intake: 22.2 lbs

***
TBV: To Be Verified

Found a picture of a 440 3x2 cast iron manifold on the scales.

It shows 54.6 lbs

Cast number 2946276 for cast iron.

Also, the aluminum Edelbrock DP6B for the B engines is more than 17 lbs lighter than the cast iron 2951666 used on my 1970 383 HP.

37.7 lbs cast iron (with 2 light coats of paint)
20.4 lbs cast aluminum (bare)
________
17.3 lbs

The second digit looks like an '8', not a '9', but casting number 2851666 does not show up as an intake manifold in a Google search. Intake casting number 2951666 shows up all over the www.

Note: The black is not carbon. It is a proprietary rust converter I used back in the 1980's.
