Title: WTB/WTT FE blower intake
Post by: scott foxwell on December 08, 2017, 06:53:14 PM
Looking for a real FE blower intake. Not a carb intake modded and welded, but a real blower intake. Willing to trade my medium riser 2x4 or some other FE parts I might have and some cash.
TIA

That’s a welded & modified Offy 360 carb intake. Good example of what Scott’s not looking for lol  ;D

Does/did someone ever make a FE blower intake? It seems all you see is a modified version.

There was a FE one at this fall Columbus swap meet for $750 with a "HB" blow off plate, presumably Hampton Blowers.

That looks to be a converted Offy intake.

FWIW I've had a BlueThunder blower manifold on back order from Mustangs Unlimited for about 2 years. I called them around July last year to see if my order was still there and they said was and they'd let me know.

That's a cool deal right there. Not sure if you've found your intake yet or not.

Have to use a cam drive dizzy, a distributorless  ignition,  or machine the dizzy hole and use a spacer. Cool piece but depending on the application, how practical would it be.

Didn't catch it the first time around myself.

Not for 2500.00.
Looks like BT will be making another run of these. I can wait but thanks for taking the time to post this. I appreciate it!

In regards to Blower manifolds, Cragar, M/T, HM, and Weiand made them. These are Low/Medium intakes and there is the Magnesium Ford script intake for Hiriser many credit M/T for. In reality that intake shares no features of any M/T blower manifold so I'm a bit sceptical on that "eBay" theory. Mostly being it shares all if the traits of the HM low/medium riser intake including the pop off valve design. If you look the Blue Thunder is a direct copy of the HM manifold less the logo. The pop off pad is there too but it is cast solid so it can be run with various valves or a burst panel.
 The reason the HM intake in the eBay ad lacks the distributor hole is because you more often than not used a distributor off set drive timing cover or ran the mag off the front of the cam. HM Cragar and M/T all offered these.  While steep, for NOS he's not out of line. A BDS converted Offenhauser 2x4 is $1400 new for FE.

 Anyway for anyone in need Dyers has been producing a brand new one piece blower manifold for a few years. Bill Dyer contacted me when they were preproduction in seeing one of my want ads for one. Their intake is a tunnelwedge with a blowerplate instead of carb pads but it is cast that way not modified like the BDS units. For guys interested in running a distributor this allows clearance without a blower spacer.

I looked into the Dyers blower setup mentioned above, just to see what product they produce. They're actually using a port-o-sonic intake. They do some milling on the intake and weld in the flange piece.

 That's a bit rough looking from what was sent and I was told specifically it cast as one piece to get away from doing this. I posted about it on the old forum after talking to Bill. He seemed a little shocked I wasn't interested in it but he missed the " vintage 60's intake " part of the want ad and I'd still like to find the M/T version.
 Good luck

A cut down edelbrock cross ram would likely make a good piece.
