Intake manifold ?'s

I have an 89 fuel injected 5.0 302. If I were to switch it to a carbureted intake manifold. Anyone know what years would fit??

any carburetor intake should work. I have 2 of the later model 302's, one with an Edelbrock Performer intake, and the other has a stock 4 bbl intake from an '83 Mustang. Once you remove all the fuel injection stuff (intake, fuel rails, etc.) it's just a normal old 302.

TireDood is correct. I have 289 and 302 manifolds on 5.0's no problem.

Edelbrock or Offy should work. Available from several sources: Amazon, Jegs, Summit Racing, etc. Just don't choose the high performance models unless your engine is set up with higher compression, hot cam, higher rev, etc. Otherwise you will be disappointed. Your engine needs to have the right balance.
