anybody have experience with the parker funnel web intake?

[DarkoStoj]

I've been tossing around the idea of throwing one on my 306. I was planning on a victor jr, but I hear that its a great intake, and for $209 polished I'm thinking of picking one up. Here is my motor combo so far.

87 306
9.35:1 comp
hyd roller camshaft
dur @.50 232/240 .607/.617 lift 112 lsa 108 ICL
WW sr. heads
demon 750 double pumper carb
150 cheater shot of nitrous.

rest of the car is setup with a manual and a 3.89 gear with detroit locker. In a light 66 mustang.

what to do?

It gets really good reviews in all our magazines down here. Supposed to be the intake of choice on alot of clevelands. Cant speak based on personal experience.

With huge heads and a solid roller cam that can turn 7k+ rpm, it would work great. IMO it is too much for your set up.

My buddy has a Funnel Web and loves it. He went back and forth between it and the Victor Jr. and ended up deciding on it. The engine it's on is an aluminum rodded, 12.7:1 pistoned, solid rollered, Canfield headed .060" over 289, but the roller isn't that radical. He's building a 347 to put the heads and intake on. The engine used to have an Offy 360 T-ram, '69 351w heads, and a pair of 660's on it and we twisted it to 8000 every pass. I think he's turning it to 7400 now.

my camshaft is peaking at about 6500 rpm right now and the compression is kind of low at 9.35 which is steering me away. I just want to try something new!

Does the funnelweb fit under a flat hood? They look very tall:

The Parker web site says they're 7.25" tall from base to carb pad. Mustang hoods are notoriously tight and unfriendly to high rise intakes.

I need a new hood anyway, my shelby one is toast. I know the victor jr is 4.5" tall... so yea, clearance will be tight.

Kevin had to get a cowl hood for it to fit. But it's like an 8" cowl hood. I'd hoped he'd put the T-ram and 660's on there...

my budy has one on his Falcon(stock hood), cant say it made more power then a Vic jr, but he made 475 FWHP on the dyno with it on a 347

306 vs 347 is more than 10% displacement increase. Apples to oranges.
