I just asked this question over at FABO and should have started here - my bad! Thanks Charlie S for the reminder! Anyone know when Clifford stopped offering their version of the Hyperpack and how much they sold for? Charlie said Doug might know. Thanks in advance! |

Wow, awfully quiet on this subject. IIRC some of the Clifford had flaws to them. Can't remember what they were. Buyer beware? |

Don I had posted a couple of years ago that the manifolds were not listed any more in the online store. It was my guess that when Larry sold the exhaust manifold rights to Aussie-Speed he stopped with the intakes. I also thought I heard that Doug D wanted to buy the equipment back, but that is just speculation. What the last price was I do not know. There was chatter at FABO that Larry didn't want to deal with slant sixes anymore. |

Clifford hasn't stopped making them, he only makes a run of them when he has taken 20 or 25 orders for them because that's what the foundry requires him order before they will make a pour. Offenhauser and other companies do the same thing, otherwise they end up with thousands of dollars of product sitting on the shelf for 3 or 4 years that you could be using that money for other things. Many jump to the wrong conclusions based on what they might see on a website. Also, many companies don't put products on their website that are considered "slow movers" because it takes up space for better selling products.... |

with AussieSpeed long runner intakes being readily available, is there any reason to not go that route vs Clifford? it seems like AS put a lot of time and $$ into developing their intakes. with the recent price increases for Offys ($600 for their intake) it almost makes more sense to me to go with an AS setup. |

That is why I stopped having the slant six AC compressor mounts made. The fab shop increased the per unit pricing, and the minimum order. I just couldn't justify having that much money sitting on the shelf.

For a street or street/track car, the AS long runner is a great option, and way better than a hyperpak. For ulimate high RPM power, use the Clifford short runner 4V intake (not hyperpak). I like the mid-length runner AS intake too. Lou |
