Thread: 427 tall dec intake manifold

Tweet

KC2006; No at first I thought he wanted a high rise intake from the way he worded it. but then I realized what you guys were saying. I'm not a chevy man, I was just trying to help him find some good intakes. I know a high rise is going to be above the general street rpm range,He's going to need the low to mid range for the street. I've run into that problem with a couple of my motors in the past. {High decks/spacer plates} First giong from a 351 cleveland to a 351/400modified ford, the modifieds are of cleveland design and every thing will interchange between the modifieds and the clevelands except 2 things. The clevelands are a small block trany bolt pattern. The modifieds are big block trany bolt pattern and have taller decks there for the cleveland and the modifieds intakes will not interchange. I also have the problem on my 472/500 caddy, can't find a good after market intake that will fit so you have to buy spacer plates to fit a good 460 ford intake on it and the same thing with the valve covers, you have to buy spacer plates for them also so you can run some nice aluminum ford valve covers. So I've had the same problems before.

PS You told him about the spacer plates in your first post which was before I talked to him.So he should be able to figure out to use those spacer plates with the intakes I was showing him,but incase he is not able to,I put the site for the spacer plates at the top of the site list on both of the posts with a site list on them.
