intake swap?
ok, here's me dilema. I want to know if a performance intake manifold off of a mustang will work on my truck. If they're the same motor, then shoudn't everything fit together? A guy i work with has a chevy pick-up, with a 350 in it. He put a corvette tuned port fuel intjection intake on his truck and it's making me wonder if i could do something similar.
any input is greatly apprecieted and everything will be taken into consideration.
thanks guys,
Garrett

The car intakes have shorter & larger intake runners designed for high RPM power. At low RPMs, the intake doesn't have very good velocity. But once RPMs start to build, the short/large runners flow well.
The truck intakes have longer & smaller runnners that maintain velocity at low RPM's. The problem is that at high RPMs, the longer/smaller runners don't flow as well and high RPM power suffers.
Some of the DOHC engines have multi-runner designs. At low RPMs, one set of runners feed the cylinders than at a certain point, butterflys open up and a different set of runners feed the engine at higher RPMs.
