dual quad manifold

[iowabowhunter]

Does anybody make a dual quad manifold for 302 that actually performs well?
The only one I can find is the Edelbrock F-28 and it just doesn't look to be a very good performer to me.
Thanks

dont know what you mean "doesnt Look to be good performer" what are you wanting?? Mine is the F28.. pulls hard to 7500 rpm , still has killer snap at low ends and works great on my 306 and then my 393W there arent too many "Types" out there !!

Just me...........................

Question is, what is your setup and how big are the carbs? I know too many people who over-carb especially when its street driven. There really isnt a real reason to go dual quad except for the look which means you shouldnt care how the Eddy performs. There is a single carb setup out there for just about any combo you can think of so you must have a pretty crazy motor if it needs 2 carbs.

I know there is really no reason to have to go to a dual carb set up, but I do like the look of it. I just don't want to loose power by switching over. My current set up is...
-.030 302
-AFR 165 non egr heads
-F303 Cam
-Weiand Stealth Manifold
-C-4 tranny
-3.70 gears
-650 Speed Demon carb
This is in a '71 Maverick

yikes your first mistake in that combo is the maverick............ jokin. if you don't want to lose power talk to edelbrock and ask them what they recommend. probably a good idea to go with a different cam for an intake like that.

You can make over 300 h.p. at the wheels with that intake. Run a pair of 500cfm carbs. and it will do it. P.M. Hissing Cobra on this board. He has a set-up using the Eddy dual quad intake And carb set-up

You can run low 12's with the F-28 with relative ease if you match your parts right. My '79 Cobra has run a best of 12.42 @ 109 with the F-28 and twin Edelbrock 500's. This intake makes power from 2,500 rpms to 6,500 rpms. My brother (who builds engines for a living) picked out an Elgin Pro Stock cam (248 INT/258 EXH @ .50, .536 INT/.560 EXH lift) that builds power between 2,400 rpms to 6,400 rpms (perfectly matching the intake's powerband.) I've also got AFR 185's (58 cc's) roller rockers and longtube headers (1-3/4".) This combo made 307 rwhp @ 6,400 rpms and 278 rwt @ 4,400 rpms. Due to the lack of torque, I've got 4.30 gears to make up the difference. With the 5-speed, it's fine on the highway.
