More On Intakes

[Anonymous]

The recent talk on intakes is hitting right at home. The webber carb I had was basically shot. I tried overhauling it using all the existing gaskets because I couldn't find a kit here for it. I found the local guys at OZone and ORielly's to be of little help even in finding a suitable Holley replacement/Equivalent. So, I found this intake other intake which is supposed to be off of an old speedway car. It's modified for a holley.

It looks like it aught to work well. I found an old Holley in the shed, found a kit and rebuilt it. I'll post a pic of the carb once I figure out how. The intake will require a small dent in the valve cover. I also am wondering if I will face hood clearance problems as well being it's a little taller. So I am down to using this intake or just waiting for the four barrell intake I just bought to arrive. Here's the other intake. What do you think?

the stock manifold that has been modified looks ok but the problem is the stock manifolds dont realy work that well for power.i have the same manifold as you bought on ebay and to be honest the improvement is sensational so i would personaly wait for it to arrive.with the bonnet clearance you may have to use a low air cleaner small type air cleaner.larger air cleaners make more power so maybe make one to suit (make it out of a stock ford air cleaner and put a 4 barrel hole in the bottom,you can also use the snorkel to hook up a cold air pipe to it) when you have made it get it power coated blue/black and the look stock and the copc etc dont know any different and you make good hp.
