Looking for alum. intake for my 1970 xlt f-100 360fe engine. I would like to use an edelbrock carb. What brands should I look at or I'm I limited by wanting to use an edelbrock carb. Engine is stock just looking for a decent 4 barrel carb intake set up nothing nancy. Oh what price range am I looking for a used intake manifold, thanks.

 

Options:

Edelbrock Performer PN 2105... idle to 5500 RPM
Edelbrock Performer RPM PN 7105 (Check if it fits because it specs for 390-428s)... 1500-5500 or so RPM.
Edelbrocl SP2P (vintage and mucho $$$)
Offenhauser 5774 (vintage and mucho $$$)

... there's always the stock, cast iron, 4-bbl intake affectionately known as the "Toe Cracker"... sometimes free! But up to $40 is reasonable.

A new 2105 is about $300. IMO, anything half off of retail is OK by me. In fact, I'm headed to a Good Guys show this weekend to look for one.

Thanks now I have some numbers to look for. Ebay intakes have been going for around 200.00 plus shipping, that seemed a little high. Do you or anybody know anything about weiand intakes, do they make one that would fit my engine? No luck with searchs, thanks.

Just looked on summit still not sure but it looks like 7105 does not fit a 360 and is more for a high performance engine.

 

Order yourself some free catalogs from Summit and Jeg's. They make great reading material in The Library (toilet). Before long, you'll know who has what.

Weiand makes the Action Plus PN 7282. I forgot that one but no ya know.

It too is a square bore manifold so Eddys and Holley 1450-patterned carbs will fit. Spreadbores, like a Quadrajet, will not fit without an adapter.

 

Great thanks again another number to add to the list. Free catalog good idea, sounds like a good resource. If any other suggestions let me know.

 

Search your local craigslist , i found an edelbrock performer in my town for $80.00 only had one broken bolt in it , 10 minute repair and was like new .

 

Best advice ever. I found a like new performer intake and new in box headers for $120 thru CL. The ad was simply for the headers ($45), but I contacted the guy on a "hunch", and it paid off.


The edelbrock 7105 performer RPM intake will fit on a 360, as it's physically identical to a 390. May not be the best choice for the 360, but it will bolt on fine.

 

Been checking CL, ebay and the boards for one, I'm not in a hurry when a good deal comes along I will jump on it. Sounds like 7105 is not really what I want since my engine is stock but still have some other opitions now. 120.00 was a steal for the intake and headers maybe I will get lucky like that! I will keep that in mind about ask if they have an intake. Any other suggestions, maybe other places to look, thanks.
