Bobby, I agree with Jeff. It sounds like you are trying to use one of two manifolds you already have, and if that is the case, the stock Ford is the lesser of the two evils. But to take advantage of the cam and heads you have an aluminum hi rise dual plane will really make a big difference in the torque and seat of pants feel.

They aren't all that expensive now and you can find good used ones in the $ 75-$100 range at swap meets and on Ebay. Even new ones like the Performer aren't very much more if you shop around. A lot of the 5.0 guys now want efi so carb intakes are pretty plentiful and cheaper than at one time. You could probably throw that Torker in the blast cabinet, put it on Ebay, and make enough to almost pay for one of the ones we mention. You can also probably get a few bucks for the Ford intake.

Also there are some offshore knockoffs that you can find at vendors who go to swap meets, and I know some people knock them, but I am running one on my 23 that I paid around $ 100 for new at Turkey Run, and it works fine and looks like a more expensive brand. In fact, there is a pad on the top that has been ground smooth to remove someones brand name, so it evidently is also sold as a different brand too.

Just another way to go for you possibly.
