That and they're made from a hunk of billet aluminum and not cast like most of the others.The Edelbrock one is made by BBK. Accufab makes a nice polished piece which is why they fetch that kind of money. I ran a BBK 70MM on my car for like 17+ years now.
Would juts like to add I got a used 70mm accufab on Corral for 175, looked brand new, and was really happy with it. The throttle feels a lot better than stock. I've seen them on there for cheaper than that too. Buying a t/b used is something i wouldnt be too afraid to do, nothing too complicated in the part.
I had a 90mm Accufab t-body on my Saleen for a while (sold it to Hoopty) and it worked great. I have a 70mm Accufab t-body on the 01' V-6 stang and it also works great. I have no problem paying a higher price for a quality item.
For better airflow sillyA 90? Really? What on earth, for?

For better airflow silly......lets see, 331 cid, 2.1L Kenne Bell, 12 psi, do I need to go on?
A complete rebuild is in the works........., as in planning. This will be a late fall/winter/early spring project. My problem is deciding on exactly which parts I want to use. The new AFR 220 head is due out in August, so I am on hold as far as cyl. heads go. I also have not decided on a final cid. I am leaning toward a 363 cid, but my machinist says for the same $ I can go 370 cid. So IDK, as so many parts depend on the decision of the other parts. And yes a bigger Kenne Bell is also in the works. And of course the $ involved. I think this build will cost around $20K plus so I have to come to terms with spending the $. I have the money, it is just hard to spend it at times.Nice... I've been running an 80mm on mine. Didn't know you had that KB. Now you need a bigger a KB. lol

Problem with that statement is you asking Kenne Bell to market something new for something old. Most Fox body Mustangs are 25 years old or nearly so. Everything Kenne Bell does now for the newer cars do have an intercooler. The fact is the market is in the new/newer vehicles, let alone the Mod engines lend themselves to being intercooler much much easier. Unfortunately the 5.0 pushrod engine is a dying market, in the sense of a market that would be profitable in this area.Until they pull their heads out and come up with an intercooler, I'm done with KB. My next power adder will likely come from Hellion.
While I partially agree, you still see many companies producing new parts for the 5.0L OHV engines every month. I mean....just in the last 5-10-years alone, how many aftermarket head and intake manifold casting have there been released for the OHV engines? And there hasn't been a 5.0L turned off the Ford assembly line in 12-years. 17-years if you want to consider Mustang only production.Problem with that statement is you asking Kenne Bell to market something new for something old.

I've been itching to put a 90 on my car, just out of curiosity to see how it'll work on an NA 302 (plus I'll eventually grow into it with a stroker and/or boost).
Ever since Ford put a 80mm TB on the Coyote it's driven my interest in running bigger TBs on small motors.
