RE:CJ vs. PI intake

The only advantage you will see with the C6AE PI intake is weight savings. That hunk-o-iron CJ intake is a close duplicate of the PI. Hard to beat what the Ford engineers did in '68. A caution, DO NOT modify the intake manifold ports. I've seen them "Port Matched" to heads and it's a mistake. You'll kill street torque doing this. I learned that lesson years ago. One thing to check on that C6AE intake is the exhaust/hear cross over chamber. Remove the oil splash pan and check that chamber for cracks carefully. If it is cracked or there are visible holes, it's still usable. Just not for cold weather driving. What I did in a case like this was to have the chamber carefully cut away leaving the bosses for the oil splash pan. Then heli arched the heat riser holes, surfaced them smooth. No more heat cross over! Splash pan intact keeping hot oil off the bottom of the intake. Worked great. Except for the "port matching" work on the intake.
This thread, so far...
