You threw away $$$$$$$$$! Webco Intakes are rare. Popular with the old timers.

They look small for a "race project". Kind of George Jetson cool though...

Re: Check out this Crazy Scalloped Intake!

Gee,
I've been looking for one of those manifolds. Good for at least 5HP increase. Cools the intake for a denser mixture and acts like a mini supercharger.
Who is the bozo that's been tossing them?

What crack head would pay $150.00 for one of those, come on man. Yeah Terry, we can make them only to have ppl ask us if we will take $20.00 for it.

Umm okay...so are they rare and worth money or not?

I don't think anybody claimed they would add power. They don't need to make more power to be worth money. Value is simply a supply and demand thing.

Re: Check out this Crazy Scalloped Intake!

Check the 'Bay for "webco". Their old cast big-bike heads go for a bunch too. They had trick frame mod kits for old Yamaha's, Brit motor pieces, all sorts of stuff.

One of my JT1 NOS dual-plug heads went for $200, quick, back to Japan.
A couple other used one over a hundred.
The market is what the market bears, eh

Some stuff goes dirt cheap. Check out the float bowl extenders, from the WAY-back machine:
