They were known as the 'Scorpion' intake & even had a little scorpion in the casting & were Edelbrock intakes.
The 'Tarantula' was the BBC version. I used to have one of each, but only have the BB version now.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
