trickflow intake

[302fordracer]

the trickflow intake I bought (street heat) I asked the salesman to include everything I would need for install...i.e. gaskets and whatnot and I was utterly shocked cause I thought for sure this would require an adaptor but he kept saying that it would fit the stock 65mm throttle body without an adaptor...is this true and if I do need an adaptor could you provide a part number..

the throttle body will go on...but our cars have a 45 degree bend built in to the stock intake. the aftermarket intakes don't have this, most are/were designed for the earlier cars without the bend, hence the need for an adapter. Summit part #tfs-515osn95, $89.95. some guys on here swap over to the old style, apparently some performance to be had. Good luck

you can probably pick up one of those elbow adapters on ebay for cheaper.

i thought our stock TB's were 60mm

Just one thing to add. When I put my street heat on my old car I was told to get some kind of better gasket than the paper ones they give you with the intake. Might want to consider that.

The only gaskets I got for my intake are the back plate and upper to lower (running an eddy performer) and everything is working fine. I got felpro 1250 lower intake gasket from discount autoparts so if your intake comes with a lower intake gasket and its paper... thats the one you might need to replace.

yeah the guys was obviously stupid I knew they weren't 65 I was just telling you what he told me which included 65 mm as being stock...the guys was obviously an idiot...I said dude I AM going to need an adaptor he's like nah...wow! I thought summit racing had better customer service.

not to good with computers, don't know if that PM went through, but you won't need a new hood. the strut tower brace will have to go though, just sell it to a V-6 guy, shouldn't notice a difference in driving. anything else just ask, later
