Keep us posted

I  recently bought this intake and don't really need a Shelby GT500 specific intake.
Willing to trade for a C7AE 2X4 MR intake or a Blue Thunder 2X4 MR intake.
All threads are good and no damage to the casting. It is used however.

Not looking for a value here but asking which other intakes are 2X4 medium riser besides the C7AE 9425- A.

Thanks    Richard

Bought a C7ZX intake yesterday and did some searches but only found a reference to a C7AE intake.
Were there other Medium Riser intakes? Jay's book only tested the C7ZX from what my search gave me just now.
If there were others what casting # or from my search some had none? 
Asked too much on the FEForum (value) and the thread got off track.
The only reason I asked about value is my wife would like to know what I've got in the shop (insurance wise) if I get hit by a car while running  :-\ or some other travail.

Thanks in advance

Jay: any thoughts about doing the removable front piece in finned aluminum?
Might be asking a lot  but I'm into the older look. as in this picture.

Jay: as far as a Billet block. If I remember correctly Kirkham had a video of a CNC FE block about 18 months ago.

My take on this whole scenario is that whatever the engineering test/design pressure was you can go into chaotic flow parameters and F#@CK up all calculations.
Jay's stroker pulled more than the manifold or carb's were designed and just went thru pure dynamics.  Kind of "damn the torpedo's"
Now I'd like to post other 2bbl flows especially the Ford 3X2 carbs and the venerable Holley 500cfm 2bbl.

Jay and others: Did some searching  on HAMB  for a short time today and looked for CFM data on 94's
Here is my preliminary finding. First off. 2bbl carbs are rated at 3" vacuum where 4bbl carbs are at 1.5" so I'm including some # for each.
The Holley-Ford carbs are designated by the venturi size in decimals of an inch. ie 94=.94, 81, 48 and Stromberg 97 as well .97

So flow ratings are as follows

Carb Model    CFM@3.0"  CFM@1.5"

94                   251            176
81                   192            135
48                   250            175
LZ                   229            160
ECG                264             185

Strom 97         214             150
Strom WW       357             250   not sure of which venturi size 2 variations one @ 1.125 and another @ 1.1875

So in the Graph above 585 CFM out of the trio of 94's exceeded the 1.5" calculation and the chart shows 2.2" vacuum or nearing the 2bbl manufacturers design data #3".

Good for me to know. Jay thanks for the info and publishing the book. A picture of my WW's

Jay: Thanks for the reply.  My ides was that if you had some data on what the 428 pulled (CFM) at a certain RPM and the vacuum there you could relate it and make a SWAG about how much flowed thru the 94's. If vacuum on a certain carb-intake combo was say 1" and the 94's were say 3.5  it would be possible to calculate flow.

It's been 43 years since my fluid flow class in University but I did work for the natural Gas industry so I was exposed to the calculations. I'll have to check some of my books from the GasCo.

Heo: yes  my Edelbrock 3X2 has the Stromberg WW's  and was the 4 bolt base version of the F380. The larger Holley-Ford carbs were the 81 and I think the 48. 97 was the smallest then 94,81 and 48.

Thanks  Richard

Jay: From a discussion on the FEForum.  Your test of the Edelbrock F380 3X2 intake stated that at WOT there was still 2.2" of vacuum.

Is there a way to back into the amount of CFM that actually went through the carbs?  I got rid of all of my 94's and 81's and have standardized on Stromberg WW's since they are considerably larger,a newer (better?) design and have parts readily available.

I'm wondering CFM differences from the Ford-Holley 94's and the Strombergs. I have read that the WW's flow over 250 CFM where 94's flow someplace around 150 CFM. Your test is the only one I've seen that maxes out flow.

Just joined and wanted to say that I've learned alot from the FEForum and Jay's book as well as Barry R's book.
I bought my first FE powered PU in 1967 (1965 model) and have had 3  Ford PU's since. But currently a 4th with a 460.
My local buddy's and I built 2 1956 fords in the late 60's with 427 side oilers and econoline axles for Woodward Ave. "excursions" and had a great and profitable time.
 
I still have my 1965 Comet HT I bought new in Rochester Mi and put away in 1972. (56,000 miles) but never saw snow. 
Now my projects are my: -1948 Lincoln Ford 390 3X2 --  a 3spd toploader and a mild 9" rear with 4 bar. ( my Avatar)
                                      -1931 Model A Roadster  416 FE and a Latham supercharger 1957 9" rear  spool wuith a 4.10 gear 4Spd Od toploader
                                      - the afore mentioned 1965 Comet I-beam axle 9" rear and some version of an FE
                                      - Finally I bought a 1960 Vette in 1977 for $2400 as a basket case and now have all the parts (except the Prison Break kit) to assemble it as a dropped I beam
                                       445 CI FE Toploader , Edelbrock 6X2 intake with Stromberg WW's, 9" out of a 1976 Bronco with a Detroit Locker. 
                                       Oh and a 1959 BMW Isetta that's been barn stored since 1959 --- blown engine.

I check the FEForum and FE Power a few times each day (retired and moved to Oregon in 2003) and also HAMB.

Thanks for looking   Richard >>> FERoadster
