Aftermarket Intake

I saw in a Four Wheel and Offroad article that there is an oversized throttlebody butterfly valve for mid 90s 460s available somewhere, but I can't find it anywhere. Anybody know where a guy could hunt for one?

BBK makes one. Its available from Summit Racing.

I don't know for sure on the 460, but on the 5.0-5.8, it doesn't help much unless the motor has been warmed over some.

If you get this I would still keep the factory air box, don't get a hot air intake.

But have a look in the intake plumbing for the "air horns" and remove them if they are still there, the idea with these is to quiet intake noise but they are a major choke point on this. Removing these is very likely the reason guys that install CAI kits report big gains, problem is the gains come from removing the horns not the CAI. See this thread for more on these air horns... https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/9...he-460-v8.html

Good point. I forgot that the 460s had those. I have no idea why they are even there.

Thanks guys. Yeah, I already chopped the horns. It is gonna be hopped up a little. Bored .030, RV cam, and headers. Im workin on a pretty good hood and intake combination and I think these valves are gonna help a lot.
