Title: Edelbrock F 427 intake and carb, is it worth grabbing?
Post by: Joey120373 on August 25, 2021, 05:30:47 PM
Found a guy on FB in my town listing an Edelbrock F 427 intake and a carb, not much detail in the pic,
But what I can see if it, the manifold looks just fine, and looks like it was just removed from an engine
( at least it doesn’t look like it’s been sitting on the dirt floor of a damp shed for the last 30
Years )
And a Holley 4 bbl.

Guy is asking $400 for it. I don’t need it, I’ve got an RPM new in the box, and a street master, and a Cleveland street master with Jays adapter….. so I need another intake like I need another hole in my head.

But it looks like a good , and somewhat rare manifold so might be nice to have.

What do y’all think? From what I gather it’s not a terrible intake. I’m out of town for a week, so I don’t have access to my TGFEIC , can’t remember how that one held up in Jays testing.

All advice welcome and appreciated .

That's a pretty good manifold once it is port matched to the heads.  $400 seems a little steep unless the carb is pretty nice.  What size/type carb is it?

Don’t know much about the carb, I’ll ask about it when I get back to the motel tonight.

Thanks
