Is there any benefit from using a later model ford aluminum intake over aftermarket?

 

more info right? I'm talking about 4V for my 289

 

You'll save money =)

 

i run a 4v on my 289 (650 cfm holley) and when i bought that i bought the edelbrock rpm performer airgap intake, better than a later model intake cuz cool air can flow under it and as we all know, cold air = POWA!!

 

im assuming your talking about a mid 80s 5.0 carb intake i dont know the flow numbers off hand but its probably know where near a weiand or a edel etc.

 

Ok,so nix the late model thing all together

 

figure u can pick up a used aftermarket intake for about 50$ ive bought edelbrocks for 15$

 

ebay and craigslist are your friend...go to junkyards in the country not the city, you will be surprised...

 

not many of those aroung here,i'll have to ebay it
