Hey Im switching my Edelbrock RPM Performer Intake from my 1970 302 to my 1986 5.0 - will the ports match up from the intake to the 86' 5.0? does anyone know? im asking because some times they change the width of the block although they are both 5.0's, the one is 16 years newer than the other.
and does anyone know if a Victor Jr. edel. intake will bolt right to an 86' 5.0?? thanks!

As far as I know all 302 intakes are the same size. The 351 intakes are different.

If they are factory E-6 heads, you may actually slow the car down. You are going to get A LOT of reversion (reversable airflow swirling) due to the big change in port sizes from very big to VERY little. Yes - it will bolt up, but I don't think you are going to gain anything (probably lose some)....

unless you have a nice size cam/heads on your 86, DO NOT put on that vic jr.
the RPM is a nice intake. i really enjoyed it on my 86.
