| I don't think it's a 428 intake. |
| By Dave Shoe - 05/30/2003 12:05:50 AM; IP 216.243.176.34 |
I suspect that intake has a large "S" cast onto the top of the #1 runner. If so, it's the intake that came on most all FE cars from 1966-1970. It was available in both 2V and 4V forms, the only difference being the carb flange. Incidental differences between these various "S" intakes include the thermostat housing bore diameret and location of some vacuum ports - nothing big.
The intakes do like to bust through at the bottom right neer the port face. They are not really worth fixing, since you can typically pick them up for about $50.00 or so and are plentiful. You might consider searching out a cast iron 428CJ intake, since it'd be about as heavy but would breathe great for more like $125.00.
Another great choice which deviates from the stock theme but works great in stock applications is the Edelbrock Performer RPM (not the plain Performer).
Other appropriate 4V intakes tend to be a little more spendy and because they are used there might be problems. Some others are just plain inappropriate, such as the old SP2P from Edelbrock.
Just my opinions,
Shoe. |
