Is it a good or bad choice for a warmed over 383 you think?

that intake was one of the best overall street strip intakes. use a mopar valley pan with the heat crossover plugged /closed and you will be happy. i don't think many were made use a 1 in wood spacer to hold off vaper lock also and makes the engine think the carb is bigger.

DP4B. Perfect for a warmed over 383.

Thanks.....I am going to try the CH4B [same as the DP4B from what I can tell]. The car presently has a mild cam, headers, a Tarantula TM6 w/ a 600 Edelbrock and 3.23 or 3. 55 rear. [just bought the car in June '18]
The plan is to use the CH4B, w/a 1" phenolic spacer, 750 Edelbrock, and change the rear gear to a 4.11. I am trying to squeeze all of the low end torque out of the 383 that I can. BTW, it's a 727 trans car.

I'm confused. Do you have a 383 or a 440? A CH4B only fits a 440. So you either have a DP4B for a 383, or a CH4B for a 440.

I have a 383 and you have kept me from making a BIG mistake. The intake that I was purchasing was a CH4B and you are the second member that has told me that it was for a 440 and NOT a 383. Seems that the DP4B is THE correct intake for my 383. I would appreciate confirmation from others regarding this please. Thanks so much!

I believe, from the looks of what you have pictured, it is a DP4B. It looks like the casting numbers have been ground off. I don't see any markings either way. Maybe the seller has it wrong.

So on the subject of mystery intakes, anyone ever seen this one? While I think the carb is newer, I think the intake is quite old. It says Mopar on the front, and on the back it says BB then P 4682174 (or at least I think it's a 4 on the end). Google searches come up empty. I don't know what all the stains are on it by where the carb bolts on
Bonus question: that model carb is not supposed to have a vacuum line for a brake booster, so if that is the case, what is the Allen head screw plugging on the carb (the rear view shot with the numbers shows it at the top of the pic)

No deal. I will just wait and buy a Performer RPM.....may work better anyhow.....any thoughts?

The regular Performer and DP4B are virtually the same. The RPM is different. Depending on the specifics of the motor and car, one might be better than the other.
