Has anyone used or experienced one of Edelbrocks old X-F8 Cross Ram intakes? Check them out...

My dad has one that he never ran. I think I'm going to try it on the 302 I'm building. I'll have to find some small carbs, and I'm sure it will be a bear to set up. Any thoughts?

 

IIRC a friend had one for a FE and it was sold to him with a mallory dist. previous owner said a Ford dist was to large, was stolen before he got to try it out.

 

That thing looks like it breaths all around. It would be real cool in an old school vehicle.

I wish it were mine

 

I've tuned tunnel ram 302s w. 2-660 center squirters on top. These were drag race only so they were not over carbed. I tuned a 377 nascar style crossram motor that was a pain. The plenum was common to both carbs so there had to be a divider welded in to make it driveable on the street. The carbs were 390 cfm units and required a lot of tuning to get them right. The divider caused the carbs to see 2 4 cylinder engines and they were set up originally for a single carb 8 cylinder. If the manifold you are showing has these problems you now know what you are faced with.
