Well racing is over for this year and time to start my winter projects. Have bunch of small stuff to do to the T-Bird and the 465 but will not take a lot of time.
Started on my own sheet metal intake last winter and left it when it was time to go racing
I got this far
But watched this and other discussions with interest and thought it would be as easy to make the base to fit a 9.5 or 9.2 deck SVO intake.
The thing I am wondering about and need to know is the dimensions of suc an intake.
Does anyone have a drawing of an SVO intake I can use to figure out the base?
I know what one head intake surface looks like, need to know height and width
Was just looking at a pic of the drawing os a SVO head and realized the ports are all the same and have the same spacing as the bores. Problem with the FE is the spread between the center cylinders. That distance is actually quite a bit bigger than the bore spacing. There is approx an extra 3/8 between the center ports combined with the larger spacing means the outside ports of the SVO intake come up quite short of matching the FE ports. Worse is you would almost want to be wider than the FE so the ports in intake and base make the same angle to the valve as the FE ports.
Hummmm maybe the SVO intake sucks all round. LOL
