Whats the best FE Intake?
By K-Ski - 02/28/2006 6:48:32 PM; IP 207.68.211.130
Hello all, I'm in the process of building a 350 horse 390fe and will be stuffing it in my 65 F-100 2 wheel drive with a truck 4-speed manual,(more like a 3-speed) and 3.50 rear gears. I guessing the weight to be in the 4,000 lb range. I'll use it for light loads and cruzen to the lake with the skis, with an occasional 1/4 mile pass here and there.

My main question at hand is what kind of intake manifold would you all use with a 650 Edelbrock AVS on top? The machinist working with the engine recommends a tall GT cast iron intake that he has, how good are these intakes? And is there any others that would work better for my application thats not hard to find? My max red line will be 5,500 rpm.

Thanks for any replys! K-Ski

 Less weight and that's all. -- Gerry Proctor, 03/02/2006
