If these parts are so bad to use on a 351, what was the point of a Cobra R? Why would Ford put such a worthless engine in their Mustangs and Lightning trucks? I guess they're idiots as well huh.

Why is Chevy always faster stock for stock? They spend more money and do more research.

There's also nothing like looking at your progress at work on an engine stand and wondering "when am I going to be able to afford the parts to finish this damn thing?".There is nothing like looking at your progress at work on an engine stand.
Stopsign-
I saw your links to the Edelbrock intake set up and I have seen them run on the push rod motors before but that was for a 4.6 application, is it that same intake that's just interchangeable or was it just not the correct link?
is that set up w/ the elbow on top better as compared to the Victor 5.8? I talked to Tmoss and he said he could port the upper/lower for $250 and equal the flow rate of AFR 205's which I plan on for my 408 build
Low5.0 do you have pics for your Victor 5.8 set up?
Thats hott.
Summit sells one that is Titanium Powdercoated which kicks ass.
Is the opening on the end 75MM or 90MM? How do you like it, good/bad things to say?
75mm opened up to 80mm. I like it, but I've never had anything else to compare it to. IMO, the TF box intake is better, but you have hood clearance issues with that one.
351+cid the Super Vic EFI is the way to go with a 90mm elbow and a 90mm TB.
A friend of mine has that setup on his 427W. Our cars run identical times, mine may be a touch faster.
Seriously though, that's a good setup. He's running an OTS cam, TF stage 3, so I imagine a custom cam would help a lot. He actually just ordered one, so I guess we'll find out this summer.
My mistake, here is the intake Edelbrock 29245 - Edelbrock Super Victor EFI Intake Manifolds
I knew the made this one so I figured they made a Victor Jr one in EFI form. Anyways I think the Super Victor would do better anyways. Maybe not on a 351cid but a stroked one this is the intake to have. IMO your motor needs alot bigger heads though.
In your situation I think the Victor 5.8 would do better. However I do not like that idea because of the 180 degree turn. IMO that is one reason why my 331 makes 457rwhp, because my intake is not the traditional 5.0 intake design.
If all of this does happen and I hope it does then I dont plan on keeping these heads anyway. I wanted to go w/ a set of AFR 205's, I would also do a fox style set up for the TB. Like Low5.0 said I need to talk to Ed and see what he thinks Im not making a dedicated track car b/c I still drive it on the street often so driveability is important. My goals are to run 11's and net 400+ RWHP. According to Rick at RNH performance the Victor 5.8, AFR 205 (Ed cam) combo will give me those goals.
