390 fe Edelbrock Performer RPM Intake Manifold
Hello, I was thinking about putting this manifold on my 1973 ford Ranger pick-up, it has a 390. I really don't wanna lift that heavy iron one back up there. The only problem i am concerned with is this manifold doesn't have the exhaust crossover passage. Is this going to be a bad idea? My truck currently has the factory 4 barrel intake. It has a so called RV cam in it. The motor has like 195psi compression, its got those flat-top pistons with 4 valve indents on them. It also has hardened exaust seats, and stainless valves. The carb is a 625 cfm webber/carter AFB. I really don't know if it is ok to just not use a manifold without this exhaust crossover passage, and if i do not use a manifold with the passage if i need to do anything special. I am also wondering what's going to happen when the truck is cold.Last edited by joepajama; 03-12-2004 at 06:00 PM.
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
