I am looking to purchase an intake manifold for my 460 and i was wondering which would be best for a 4x4

 

This has been covered alot and a search would serve you well. In my opinion, assuming you have a stock 460 a edelbrock performer would be your best choice; enhanced performance while maintaining good torque and low end. I've got one sitting on my shelf (one of these days I've got to put it on ebay or something) that I used for a year and was very happy with it. I only pulled it off when I hopped up my engine. If your engine is built up healthily, i.e. heads worked, headers, higher comp, cam, then the performance 385 guys swear by the Weiand Stealth. With a properly matched engine you get great top end and your lower end remains strong too. The stealth is preferred over the ebok rpm, although that is another good choice. I assume we aren't talking about a race engine so I won't go into those choices.

 

If you click the word *Profile* on the bottom of a person's reply you can e-mail them through the FTE e-mail system.

 

Now if it's to the last foot-pound of torque the best or not. I can't really say but I can say that my totally stock except for straight up timing set 460 pulls well all over with a Weiand Stealth and a Holley 750 on it. Good off idle responce and torque. Over 3000 rpm it is deceptivly fast. I find myself going over 80 now inadvertantly all the time in my 7200 pound E350. It just feels like a big tailwind it does it so easy.

I would assume you have an auto trans in your van.

Were you able to hook up the passing gear rod with the Stealth?

 

Superdave,
Yes on the rod. It's not on there on the moment as I'm waiting on the adjusting screw from Holley for the carb side so I can adjust it. The rod had to be straightened a little to reach but it wasn't a big deal.

 

Thanks, for the reply.

I have ran across a couple of good deals on one used Stealth and a new one, but passed because I did not know if I could hook up the passing gear rod.
