I either need one or I'm going to need someone to measure one for me. Any thoughts?

John/Phil,
  I have a new (reproduction) one I recently bought for my 289 2-4V Holley setup. 14" long, 8-1/2" distance between the hose nipples. Keep in mind that's for a pair of 4160 Holleys. The spacing on a pair of 4150s (like on a high riser 427 and maybe a Tunnelport 427) will be different. Hope this helps.

Dave,
I was looking to buy one, Carl's is out of small block logs, I have not had luck finding one. Still looking in worst case scenario I may have to make one.

I was thinking about contacting drew  for one of his in an unfinished  form "pile of parts"  to modify it for the small block

Great news! I talked with Branda this morning and was arranging to have 2 of the 289 2x4 fuel logs shipped to me....then was told the parts have been on back order since October of 2023.

So not great news, I ordered the material to make two of them it will be here on Wednesday. So yay!

The eBay part looks nice but if I can't talk to someone before buying from them, well then I don't.

If it starts it's streetable.
Overkill is just enough.

Thank you, ordered one this morning! Now the other material will be transferred to the Unicorn Intake for the 1969 1/2 BOSS

There are no unfinished ones.

I made the 3x2 289 logs but have not made the 2x4 ones yet.
Maybe I will in the future, but I really don't know if it's worth making them. Plus I don't currently have an exact original to use for measurements etc

Drew if you get to that point I would be glad to lend you my original small block 2X4 fuel log to take measurements from.

Gotcha!  Might have to.
Be cool to have in stock.
I don't really make much on logs/linkage but kinda need to have them.

Certainly, because if someone doesn't have it it requires local fabrication, which is 200 to 500% more on our end.
