D.Hearne said:Should be the same size ports on both. Unless you lucked out and got a set of 351W heads on there. Is the coolant port on the head "L" shaped ? With an extra bolt hole there ?
The aluminum intake on a small block saves about 20 lbs. Heads, about 25 lbs each, if I remember correctly. You think your's is hard to steer? Try a big block Stang without P/S.thenewguy65 said:DHearne, do you think I could use that same intake off the 84 Mustang with my swap. I am going to be using an Autolite 4100 carb. I would like to save the weight from the cast iron intake but don't know how big of a difference it would make. If I went with aluminum heads I am sure it would make a big difference but some is more than none right ?. I have manual steering which is why I am concerned about weight.
bnickel said:that intake should work but isn't the best choice. i would seriously look for a performer at least. also the factory aluminum intake is an egr unit. you might actually be better off using the cast intake.
krash kendall said:The intake gaskets are different from '76 (?) and up. You need to use the early ones that match the heads. If you use the later ones the cooling ports will leak at the front passenger side and rear driver's side. The newer gasket covers the edge of the port just enough that you can be fooled into thinking it is the right one untill you fill it up with coolant. I know this from experience.
