Choosing a Manifold:SBF

[MAURICE BLENDHEIM]

Dale…How much cam, convertor, rear end ratio? Based on your description, I'd go with the Edelbrock RPM. It has a broad RPM operating range and the respond well to carb spacers for additional plenum volume. They make excellent Torque being a dual plane. They work great out of the box. MB.

Comp Cams Magnum solid roller
.586 lift
288/288 duration

TCI Streetfighter trans and converter +1500 stall

Ford 9 inch with 3.89 gears comes next Thursday from Strange

Alex: Good to hear from you. Do you mean the Weiland is comparable to the aluminum manifold Shelby used for the 68 recall that finally put a good carb on a 302?

Yes. Eagle crank, Crower rods Keith Black dome pistons. Going to run bracket this year and switch to flat top pistons to get legal in GT for the future.

I have ran all 3 and the victor jr intake on my SBF...in your application the air gap is what you need... if it was a stickshift id go with a victor jr

I've run the Victor Jr. on my 302s and 351s but I had a lot more converter. 1500 isn't much on a sbf, maybe more like 2500 - 3000 for a street/strip application with a big cooler. The air gap sounds like a good choice though.

Correction: Stall on the converter is 3000-3200
