| RE: intake manifolds ? |

Which aluminum 4V intake do you have? That can be a contributing factor in making your decision.
I think this is a tough call for me anyway. It sounds like you've got the 390 well built. I like the Ford tri power system. It's easy to set up. As long as everything is in good shape, i.e., good carbs, complete linkage and a good crack free intake that hasn't been butchered.
Also which heads are you running? I ask because you want to make sure you have a good intake port to head match. If you have the C7AE or C8AE you will notice the smaller intake port on those heads. Now look at the tri power manifold's port.....not good for those heads. But if you have the C6AE-R, C4AE-G, etc. - '66 and back tall port heads,you have more intake manifold flexibility.
The most recent issue of Mustangs & FORDS has a great article about a '67 Mustang 390GT that's built with the C6AE-R heads and the Ford tri power. Worth reading.
Now if your single 4V intake is a Ford PI? With the right carb, that would be tough to beat.
