Has anyone tried this swap on their Fox yet? It was in a recent issue of 5.0 Mustang and Super Fords. If you have, I want to hear some personal feedback about this swap.

What? Bolting on their box intake? Sure. Guy in my club runs the intake. We un-bolted his old edie intake and bolted on the TFS box intake. Made 8 hp more on his blown 347....and that's the story

Depends what kind of engine it was bolted to and the other combination of parts it had and what kind of intake it was replacing. Just throwing out horsepower figures tells nothing?

The article you read was on the 408 Clevor build. They swapped the standard R series intake to the Box R. Those numbers are legit. On that combination the Box R intake was much better suited, expecially with the spray.

if i read your other thread correctly, you have a bone stock 302. I'd highly recommend staying away from this intake until you've built a motor that requires it. you wont be happy with the results.

if you were just curious about other people using it, carry on
