Hello, I am wondering if a Low-rise dual buick 455 intake or if there is plans making some.

Yes, Offenhauser does make a low-rise dual quad intake for the Buick 455. This is a very popular request, especially for applications where hood clearance is a concern. The relevant part numbers you’ll want to look for are 5589 and 5882, both of which are for the Buick 455 low-profile dual quad intakes.
- These are produced in small batches, so there can sometimes be a wait as production depends on reaching a minimum order quantity. Typical carb compatibility is with AFB or Edelbrock carburetors—Holley carbs can be used, but may require turning them sideways due to space/clearance (watch for interference with the thermostat housing and distributor).
- The high-rise version is less common and usually not produced as often because most customers prefer the low-profile for ease of fit under stock hoods.
