Re: 3/3/61=390hp |

Actually as far as interesting goes, the Ford intake, cast on March 3, 1961 (1C3) most likely for a 375 horse 390 High Performance engine & Total Performance package, has more going for it. These regularly bring $225-$250 on eBay and at swap meets. They're not as good as a 428 PI but they're light and are useful for "correct" early HP cars.
I've "heard" the E-brock Streetmaster is a good intake. Can't say from personal long term usage. I had one once and it leaked coolant terribly. It had been "Port Matched" by some previous owner and I attributed the leakage to too little material left between intake port #1 and the water passage port. I've never had an FE leak coolant before or since. My point is that I didn't get a chance to really try it out. I was aware of the problem very quickly during the first few minutes of a road test. Water spewing out the back intake PSE breather I was running. Back to the garage for R & R. Drain down of everything. Yes, it was a mess. Don't want to ever have that happen again.
The Streetmaster typically sells for around $150-$175. E-brock even provided instructions with it when it was new regarding proper porting procedures.
