Performer or Performer RPM manifold and headers (whatever fits), depends on the steering box on how they fit. What kind of tranny? Stall converter? What kind of rear, Traction loc or one wheel drive? What kinda gears?
You can get a stock 4 bbl manifold for about $25 but they are heavy. I have been told that they are equivelant to a Performer in flow.
Really watch pushrods as everywhere you read about FE engines being rebuilt, if they are not adjusted properly you will bend pushrods.
There are oil passage modifications that should be done as well, if you search around on the net you can find them pretty easy.
I think he is going to run over $2000 in the end.
Is it OK to mention other urls on this site?
The first model car I built was a 32 Ford roadster by Revell in the mid 50's.
How did you get hooked on cars?
