Re: 66 DiBella (means of the beautiful)
There both amazing, as a compromise the cross ram will still have huge pop. But based on your stated theme with the Moon tank, I gotta lean towards the straight stacks!! They'll match the wheels modern gasser flavour.
Just read the post title and...the cross ram fits perfectly with 'DiBella'....very Italian Ferrari-esque. I'm no help, good luck deciding

Re: 66 DiBella (means of the beautiful)
I really think the cross ram is perfect even without a custom cover the more I think of it. It's a modern twist to the old school stacks...which your wheels are a modern twist on an older theme as well ....

Re: 66 DiBella (means of the beautiful)
If you were to color match the intake runners on the cross ram it would help the engine pop. They both are very cool so you really can't go wrong. IMO

Re: 66 DiBella (means of the beautiful)
Bad news from the engine builder block was cracked and heads are shot. Good thing I have some world heads here and a 350 with a 4 bolt main.

Re: 66 DiBella (means of the beautiful)
Man, that cross ram looks evil! I'd go with it, but they are both very cool. Either way you will have a killer truck.

Re: 66 DiBella (means of the beautiful)
As far as the motor goes it came with the truck. But it still sucks. Anyway we really want to put the straight up old school injection in the truck only way i will go with the cross ram is if it won't fit under the hood. Thanks for all the help guys

I ended up getting them for 2400 which is still crazy but I wanted something different.

Re: 66 DiBella (means of the beautiful)
Thanks guys glad you like it. This was a crap load of work. But I think it will really change the look of the truck. I married to it now. If it ever gets hit in the front it will be gone. I will start the bumper tonight and hopefully have pics up tonight or tomorrow.
