The other four manifolds that I know of like this (high rise) are the original Edelbrock Slingshot, Eddie Meyers (2 different ones), a Tattersfield and the Thickstun PM-7. All of these manifolds run quite well in a good street performance flathead, though are probably a bit under-carbed for a larger engine.
Thanks good reply. Looks like it has Edelbrock on it but I've only seen the Slingshots
