Question clifford performance Intake

Clifford performance sells a intake manifold to convert your old tired 1 barrel on the 6 pickles to a 2 barrel or 4 barrel with a simple adapter. Has anyone ever done this or know any info as to which carb i can get for my 85 f150. as i said before on a previous thread im removing emissons equipment so i would assume that plays a role in carb selection. any info would help me out alot. i plan on gettin a 4 barrel. they sell a weber for 600 but i dont need that this is no show truck or race truck. its a mud truck so a reasonable carb will be good

speaking from experiance, I would not do that. by the time you spend the money, and time, might as well get the right intake to begin with. the runners are longer, and the flow is much better. I paid less than $200 for my offenhauser c on ebay

Question

umm correct if im wrong but.. you say the runners are longer and flow is better, well thats the whole idea of buying this intake, and thats why they sell it. Have you installed this clifford intake before or are you just guessing. whats the intake you have from ebay?? any other help would be great

Both Clifford and Offy make some really nice parts for the 300 six.

I wouldn't hesitate to use either one.

I went with the offy c series, and a holly 390 cfm. I missunderstood your question earlier, and thought you wanted to put a 2, or 4bbl adapter on your stock intake.this is an offy with headers

What is the part # for the carburator that you are considering? I just purchased a remanufactured Holley 4bbl carb from Summit for my 351W that is rated at 600cfm. It would probably work, but you would be wasting your money because I don't think that you would pull enough vacuum to open the secondaries.

This carburator is probably better suited for your application? http://www.holley.com/applications/C...elector/0-8007
