I have had FE's since 1974 and raced them from brackets to super-gas. Now I am going to build a class car (stocker) and picking a combination with all the different FE heads and intakes is something I am struggling with. In super-gas the bigger the better and I was using a tunnel port which limited the combinations.
For stock eliminator I am building (eventually) a '67 Shelby GT-500 with a 355hp 428 single 4 barrel engine. Where I am having trouble is which intake and heads. I also have Jay's book which has led to a little more confusion. In his book he had a 428 P.I. intake, C7AE-F and I think the port dimensions are listed as 1.95x1.22 on a Ford intake list it shows them as 1.94x1.24, close enough. The same list shows the C6AE-H P.I. intake as the same port size only the one I have has ports of 2.475x1.450 ? I don't think it has been ported (see pictures)
I have 7 different head options and about 4 different intakes. I was leaning toward the Edlebrock aluminum heads but with the intake I have there will be substantial port mismatch at the heads.
does anyone have the port dimensions for the C8OE-N and C6AE-R heads? which combination do you think would work the best?
Thanks, Mike
