I don,t know

[DARROW 74]

I may have posted about my manifold here before if so I don't know where so here is what I did

Switch from stock to streetmaster


And I am glad. I tryed it out and so far it good.

low end after about 60 ft I got out of it due to control. And that is better then the org, top end 3rd gear is where I really feel it could not push it (calif freeway sat)

Big Blocks are fun aren't they??????:thumbs::thumbs:

 

[DARROW 74]

You bet nothing better.

 

[DARROW 74]

Tim hows the carpet?

 

[GTR1999]

I like the paint on it too. I remember my SM wasn't a bad one, they did get a bad rap in the past though. The performer is supposed to be a better all around intake but I couldn't say.

You bet nothing better.

So you like this combo???
IT is not the lastest/greatest but does have some umph to it.

 

[DARROW 74]

Yea so far very happy. But its easy to make me happy

I was talking to Bird about this, and remembered that I did an FE FORD motor with one of these intakes in 79. :nuts:

Still in the box. I'm afraid it'll get under the go pedal.

Sorry. Couldn't pass that up.. It is really still in the box. Probably will be until next winter when I pull the interior out and redo all that...

How did it work for you?

It was a 68 FORD station wagon with a 390. It could bury the speedo any time you wanted. It could curise at 115mph all day. It was a blast to drive to SF.

Talk about a pita to swap manifolds on...those damned FE engines. Who decided to run the pushrods through the intake...
And lifting one of those enormous cast iron things, you almost need a cherry picker prrtt:

Having built a number of FEs -- 352, 390, 410, 427 and 428s. I can say, without reservation, it is a strange design. But, once I fugered out how to make them work, you should of seen the look on the BB Chevys guys face when they were beat bad.:lol:

In case you are wondering, A 428 S-Cobra Jet-stock with headers, 456s and slicks, could run 11.60 to 11.33.:1st:

 

[Twin_Turbo]

We shall see

 

[BRUTAL64]

We shall see

What body??
The times I gave you for Cobra Jet were actual times from a guy that used to come into the Gas Station I worked at in the 70s. The 68 Mustang ran -best at that time- was 11.33 and the 68 Cougar ran -best at that time- 11.60. I remember that converstation like it was yesterday. It is burned into my brain Cells. I was so impressed.:bounce:

69 mustang, also have a 69 cylone 428 CJ here
