good intake?

Found a streetmaster 390 intake at the junkyard for 50 bucks..was wondering if it would be a good manifold to put on my stock 352? Eventually id like to build a 390 but for now id look some tire burnin power outta my 352 this motor is going in my 66 ford f100 I have a c6 and a 9 inch with I believe 3.73 gears and 27 inch tall tires

I wouldn't the street master is a open plenum, and wouldn't help torque at all.

You want a dual plane intake like an edelbrock performer or performer rpm

The streetmaster while being a open plenum is a very small plenum
Also it has very small runners...promoting high fuel air speeds
The streetmaster will out perform the Std edelbrock performer after 2000 rpms
Not as good as the rpm intake

For more information you can search the network 54 forum....many tests have been run with this intake and it comes through in flying colors
It is still a good intake..for me I would run the stock cast iron "S" 4bbl if money is a issue

Beware the price has gone Up on the streetmaster the last few years as people have found its worth...sometimes old tech still works.....

Maybe the moderators could remove them from the option list
