upper and lower manifold
Finally got my upper n lower from summit racing . Seems edelbrock had trouble with their molds and thats why it took 5 mos.Its the 3881 for fuel injection also a 56mm thrttle body by b and m. Nows it kinda humid n hott to install why i was gonna do it in winter months.Any one have this set up? would be nice to hear about your mod since that sucker was close to 600 for all gaskets and associated parts --gasket etc

Had them installed on my 5.8L when I had it rebuilt 2 years ago. I too had to wait about 8 months for the manifolds. But I believe strongly it was just the guy who owned the shop where I had ordered them from. He just couldn't get off his lazy dead fat **** and order the parts.
His shop finally closed down and then almost a year later he croaked in his sleep. 
Well needless to say he had screwed more people than I had realized. And I knew most of them.
Enough of whining now. I love the setup. lots more power. I also got thier throttle body too. It's all good.

Tite eldelbrock claims 34ft lbs of torque, was it alot more noticeable ,on my 92 bronco, i have the bbk thottle body(56mm),super chip, msd6a box,a billet distributor and blaster coil. Future mods after the 3881 manifolds are headers by either bassani or gibson.TR

Hey tite, was that charlie you had working on your rig?
Black Ford, your going to like the Eledbrock/BBK throttle body set up, you'll like it even more with the Bassani Y pipe and a set of Bassani eq length headers, thats when you'll get the potential from your new intake manifold setup.

ohhh man now I'm torn. I was gonna spend the money I've been saving up on a lift... and I've been throwing around ideas of an intake/TB swap... Are you guys putting them on a 351w or a 302? Are you seeing any difference in MPG? It seems like I might want to rebuild before I put these on... even though I'm still running very stong at 132k miles. Has anyone put this setup on (or any other u/l intake setup) without pulling the engine?
I have no plans of a blower or anything extreme, but I'd like to get up close to 400 lbs/ft of torque / 330-ish HP. I just want to be able to spank my buddy's '98 Z71 on the road as well as I already do off road :-).

hmmm I was hoping that I could get better gains than that... IIRC, the '93 351 is rated at about 210 HP and 330 lb/ft of torque. I'd be happy with less horsepower if i ould get the torque close to 400. I think that the right intake/TB setup with good exhaust should get me close. it's only a 75 lb/ft or so gain, and Edelbrock claims half of that... with electric fans, K&N/homemade cold-air, bassani ceramic headers, and high-flow catback... you don't think i could get 75 lb/ft out of all that?
