351w intake manifolds extinct?

This is really sad for so many reasons.

It's too bad they didn't make this product cancellation more public, it probably would have generated a big sales surge. I would have bought a lower to keep on the shelf for myself just in case I ever go that direction. Maybe I just missed this.

Looking around, the price gouging for any remaining stock started some time ago and now they're pretty much gone. In addition, the lightning lowers which are already crazy over-priced, will just increase more. ...at least until most of the community gives up on 351 conversions.

Also, did Edelbrock stop making intakes for EFI Windsors as well? I just checked their web side and didn't even see 5.8 intakes. Is the Holley High Ram the only option left?

Edelbrock still makes them and they make a 351W upper & lower but the upper probably will not work on a Mustang.



They are also still making the Performer RPM II. My guess is you could order the 351 lower and a Performer RPM II upper and make it work?

I've seen so many aftermarket parts go extinct for our foxes. The aftermarket craze is fizzling out after 40 years. People just aren't building foxes like they used to. The 351 is being put to rest by the LS and Coyote swap folks.

I learned a long time ago when you see a part reproduced or an item you will need for your car its best to buy it, as waiting will see the part run sell out with no plans to produce more......

I know it's not the popular opinion,but if I'm going 351w I'm going carb'd. To easy.

That’s what I did on my Thunderbird. Most likely will remove all of it and go to a Holley Terminator X at some point for drivability and easier to tune.
