Howdy,
Worked on the 'Stang (www.geocities.com/richelieu2000) (yeah, shameless plug) this weekend and it
seemed as things went BACKWARDS instead of forwards. I think my list of "things to do" grew, while my list
of "things done" stayed the same. I hate that. Makes me disgruntled. *arg*
Anyways, picked up a 1980 302 HO engine this weekend. Heads, block and aluminum 4bbl intake. I don't have
the actual number with me, but how would this intake compare to say a 4bbl Edlebrock intake? Or put it another way...
How does a $50 1980 Ford aluminum 4bbl intake compare to a $229 Edlebrock 4bbl intake?
This intake would be going on a 1978 302 engine with 1970 351W heads. (just got 'em! whoo hoo they look excellent, with
screw in studs already. Doesn't that rule.
) Also will possibily have a Lunati 351 cam in it. (need to see if it's going to be
a bit radical for this setup)..
Just read today I'll probalby have to take my Steering box out because it's a power steering one, and replace it with a Manual
steering box. (the 19:1 vs. 16:1 ratio stuff) Anyone have an idea how much these boxes cost?
