We did a few Weiand intake installs back in the day. Good manifolds, but I don't recall much. After decades, only the real good or real bad incidents come to mind. Did not do a max wedge, I would've remembered that.

Just looks very poorly "hogged out" to me. Why would a max wedge manifold have exhaust crossover tubes?? And for "B" engine , correct?
Rare piece, yes? Desirable, well, not by me anyway.

 

[1 Wild R/T]

Yup, not a "Max Wedge" manifold... A manifold that's been sloppily hogged out to roughly "Max Wedge" sized ports...

Weiand quit putting the "Say Why And" in the late sixties

 

[33 IMP]

Maybe not the best port job..... but still a good manifold for an original iron max head, cause of the cast in valley cover. A prehistoric 337.
But yeah, neither was a max originally.

 

[Cranky]

Had an intake with the "say why and" on it years ago. I've heard so many people pronounce it weeand....

I think they are both RB. WC2Q stands (I think) for Weiand Chrysler dual quad.
As opposed to DP, for dodge/plymouth, a designation edelbrock used too.,

 

[Darter6]

Maybe just the photos but it looks like 1 RB and 1 B manifold.

Looked again. I think youre right! Single four looks b engine.

Might be for a 300J. 300J cylinder heads were similar to Max Wedge heads but had the crossover, I think.

my cnc standard ports are bigger than that...

 

[33 IMP]

My pro-ported 286 max heads are 1 3/8x2.3/4+. I doesn't look like there was room at the top of the port for the manifold to go all the way to max.
My TM7 modified for max heads has had a slug of aluminum welded to the top of each port pair, to be able to go full max port.

Could be.. I personally have never laid eyes on a disassembled 300J motor, nor seen pix of one torn down. May as well be Hen's Teeth!!

 

[maxwedgechar]

@Lefty71 Me neither, but about 50 years ago 2 friends of mine were looking at some 300J cylinder heads and the guy selling them told them that they were the same thing! Even back then I was looking for Max stuff and my friends knew it. I think in my collection of stuff I have the '63 Chrysler "New for'63 Chrysler" factory bulletin and it has pictures and I think the difference is the crossover.

The J head was an early 915 style head.
