FE Newbie Looking for suggestions---Intake
By Karl - 05/18/2006 12:33:02 AM; IP 71.108.181.117
I've got a '63.5 Galaxie fastback, ReBuilt 352 2V, Auto Trans (CruisoMatic), Single exhaust. C8AE-H heads. Edelbrock waterpump. pretty tame and stock for now.

I'm looking to get this beast moving a bit better, and I was going to start with a 4BBl intake and carb. I'm looking at the Blue Thunder MR 4V for this application. I'll also be adding a 600CFM carb.

My question is is this going to end up being too much intake for a 352? I was looking at the BT for it's supposed good match to the C8ae heads and the period correct look. This is going to be a streetable car, that I want to take out for an occasional run down the 1/4.

Future plans are for a Cam swap, shorty headers, and dual exhaust. Fuel system upgrade. Got a new fuel sender on the way from Crites with the 3/8 outlet. Will be upsizing to 3/8 from fron to rear, and I am going to upgrade the fuel pump as well.

Another question. Those of you who have swapped from 2V to 4V, what was a bugger about the throttle linkage swap. Should I go cable activated, or find a donor for the stock linkage?


As always thanks for the help
