351 intake options...

[nf9648]

I want to run a 351w short block with some afr 185's and a ATI psc-1 blower, I was thinking the other day though, that if the 351 block has a taller deck height wouldnt that space the heads farther apart? And since most intake manifolds like the Holley systemax one Im looking at are made for a 302 block, what options would I have to run the 351? Would I have to fab a spacer from say, aluminum stock, for each side to fill the void between the lower intake manifold and the heads?

As far as I know these are your only options:
trickflow, edelbrock, and FMS. I don't think anyone else makes a 351 lower intake, I may be wrong though.

You may only have three options, but they're pretty good ones! If I onyl had three intake options, those 3 would probably be what I would pick, so its not like you're in a terrible situation.

I might go with the trick flow, its the best flowing from the box so Im told, still gonna get the lower port matched to the afr heads.
