Just curious, but is the new RamJet 350 crate motor the same type setup as a TPI 3rd gen engine? Thanks.

Nope, the Ramjet has a medium length intake design that helps mid to upper RPM power.

Very different intakes. The RamJet looks like an old style tunnel ram intake with a plenum box on top instead of carburetors.

It's more like the LT1 intake but taller. I don't guess you know what a mini ram looks like but it's also simular to that as well.
