I have just picked up a couple of '83-'85 302HO 4V intake manifolds, and wanted to get some flow figures for them.  I had a Stock Eliminator racer ask about porting one, and I offered to do so as I had time.  He never followed through, so when a couple of the intakes came up on Craig's listing locally, I picked two of them up for $125.00.  The ports are tiny, the manifold is definitely a low riser, and just looking at it makes you wonder how the Mustang ran so well for the era.  I have flow figures for 292/312Y block 4V intakes, Lincoln Y blocks, 289 iron 4V, 302 4V, and all the FE's/429/460s/4.6modulars/5.0HO EFI/5.8 EFI from the last 35 years using a flow bench.  This little intake manifold only flows 140cfm average, and the '83-'85/E7 heads flow 169 cfm as cast.  Not a single runner flowed over 158cfm.  Here are a couple of pictures of the intake manifold.  Joe-JDC

I have a new EDL-29375 Victor Dominator EFI intake for the FE that has never been installed.  They are not available at the present time, but I will sell this one for $975.00 plus shipping if anyone is interested.  I will port it for an additional charge to match whatever intake gasket a person may want.  You will save the state sales tax but pay shipping.  PM me if interested.  Joe-JDC

I have had this little 4V intake for several years sitting on a shelf just waiting for me to get time to work on it for myself.  It is a fairly rare intake for the 1968 302 4V J code mustang.  A one year only engine.  The intake was fairly clean for what it is, and I started the porting and when finished removed the oil splash guard pan on the bottom of the manifold to make sure it was clean enough to install back on an engine.  This is what I found.  Always remove the pan and clean before re-installing a manifold that is used.  Joe-JDC

Retirement has allowed me to get back on one of my favorite engine builds, and I finally have the proof that the design can work with good parts and lots of preparation.  I was able to spend two days on the dyno at Ted Eaton's shop in Lorena, TX and tested 4 intakes and 6 different carburetor combinations.  The engine is 3.862" bore x 4.000" stroke for 374.86 cubic inches, and I tested my ported heads, ported intakes: dual plane, single plane, single plane-dominator, tunnel ram.  The single plane intakes are new, and I have one of the first with the Dominator carb pad.  It is a real improvement for those wishing high rpm performance with a Y.  Anyway, it was fun, lots of work, and very tiring but satisfying.  Here are a couple of pictures of the results.  Joe-JDC

I have several FE intake manifolds that were scheduled for customer's builds that fell through, and a few that were my personal extra intakes for dyno testing and flow testing.  I still have about a half dozen extras that I intend on keeping for my personal builds.  These for sale are not destined for any particular build at this time.  All plus shipping from 78250

The TFS intakes that were used on Jay's dyno testing were for 351W 9.5" decks.  I don't have any 9.2" blocks or intakes for them.  Joe-JDC

This is another numbers matching 428 CJ refresh with minor changes.  Diamond pistons +.015, dish for 10:1 compression, NOS -C camshaft, crower lifters, standard/standard crankshaft, points distributor, stock coil, 735 Holley, ported iron heads with stock valves and 30* intake seats, ported iron intake manifold.  Did break-in with AmsOil 30 wt, and 20 dyno pulls testing JBA tri-Ys against Hooker Super Comp vs dyno headers and a couple of carb changes.  Stock carb spacer, vs 1/2" composite spacer.  Going into a R code mustang, so no Super Sucker spacers, etc.  Ran fan belt on water pump.  Jay's clear valve covers used to watch valves, pushrods turn, and just plain cool factor.  Had several folks take pictures of the valve covers, and ask where I bought them.  Car is C-6, but Ted didn't have a CJ flywheel, so had to source a flywheel through Brent Lykins, for quick delivery.  Thanks Brent.  The dyno headers are large with about 10" before a bend, so they were up 7-9 hp over the JBA and Hookers.  The JBA and Hooker SC, were nearly identical in torque and horsepower, with the Hookers slightly better in torque.  That surprised me.  Will be a great engine for AC, PS, PDB, C-6, 3.50 gears.

Best pulls:  Dyno headers 454/403.7
                  JBA headers  452.4/393.9
                  HSC headers 464.6/394

Some time ago, there was a discussion on engine cradles, and a supplier was suggested that built good ones for Fords.  Does anyone remember who the supplier was, or have a suggestion for new Ford engine cradles for storage, or in shop use?  I need to get a couple of engines off of my engine stands, and would like to be able to move them around on a dolly or cradle with wheels if possible.  Any suggestions besides Jegs or Summit cheapies that are junk.  I already went that route, and wasted money.  Joe-JDC
