Favorite Intake manifold on a 5.0

[chepsk8]

I'm getting ready to strip the 88 GT I have, and set the motor up with a carb. For all of you who have converted a 5.0 EFI to a carb, what has been your favorite Aluminum intake manifold and carb?

 

[Fostang]

well for strip use I'd go with the rpm gap or stealth.

Depending on the type of bottom end and heads maybe a vic jr.

 

[chepsk8]

Definitely for street duty, keeping HP reasonable!

i would definitely go with the stealth, it si about the best all around intake, god upper and mid and great low rpm performance

 

[D.Hearne]

Edelbrock's older F4B, Ford's A321 or older C9OX, or the Shelby "Cobra" high rise.

Weiand Xcellerator or Weaind Stealth.

 

[66 BLAKE 96]

Why would you lose the EFI? Thats the best part of the car!

 

[C.Harris]

Weiand Stealth is a good manifold. If you go Edelbrock I would spend the extra cash for the air gap, but if you're wanting to save a few dollars look into Professional Product's Crosswind intakes. Their EFI manifold outpowered the Twisted Flow counterpart in a MM&FF shootout if memory serves.

anyone know where i can get one of these for a 351w, i'd gladly trade performer and some cash or anything else i might have lying around

 

[D.Hearne]

ebaymotors.com for one for a 351W. Or try Mustangs of Oklahoma ( think that's the right name) I was in their store a couple years ago and saw they had a couple of these on the shelf for the 351W. They're a little high on they're pricing but they have some good stuff in there.

Intake MAnifolds

On my old Mustang, I had an older "Torker", and a crane Fireball came, equivalent to the BOSS 302 specs. Bottom end was weak, but above 3000 RPM, hang on!!

Looking for something similar, but with operating range a bit lower
