Market Demand for a new version of the PSE-style intake adapter?

[Heo]

I was about to mill down a streetmaster
i had almost finnished the fixtures
and found this.Well then i wait for this
to be ready for the market
I will try to build a efi with 8 individual
runners and this way i can run a carb
if i fail with the efi

Something else to ponder:  a split 351C intake ala' the NASCAR circuit could be a real winner with the adapter.

Excellent idea, Bob...

hey Jay love your book and  Swartz Racing Manifolds.com and Blair Patrick are selling PSE style adapter intake just want to let you know be for you send alot of money and time and then you find out that one is all ready out

[jayb]

Thanks for the info, but I know about the Swartz manifold.  They sell for over $2000 each, so they are not really a competitor for what I am trying to manufacture.

Just saw this.  I'll be in for one!

I am new to this (and any other) forum, so if I am replying incorrectly please let me know. I have been looking for one of these for some time. I would definitely commit to 1, possibility 2 with the second one without the intake ports milled thru. In my early years I was running a 351C with a dual tunnel ram, however the engine developed an oil leak into the water jacket that I could not locate. The Cleveland was replaced with a stock 68 GT 390. The car has been sitting in the garage since 83, and I am working on getting it on the road again. The adapter for the 351C manifold would be a welcome mod. I will keep an eye on the forum for progress.

Thanks.

Since Trick Flow makes a 351C EFI manifold, could one theoretically piece together an EFI FE with 351W EFI aftermarket goodies?  Would be nice to cut the pain out of EFI using existing stuff if it was possible.  Jays lower intake, an EFI upper could definitely open this door but I know next to squat about the small block EFI stuff. 

[machoneman]

That's the beauty of the old PSE unit and Jay's work to bring a newer and better version to the marketplace. 

No theory but a fact that the TFS upper/lower would allow an easy EFI system for any FE.  Keep in mind that the lower would bolt up to Jay's PSE-like adaptor and the upper would bolt to that.  Underhood height may/would be an issue with say a Mustang/Torino/Falcon  but I'd bet that a truck or full size ride (re: Galaxie) could use the new adaptor and the 351C EFI unit and fit same under the OEM hood.

Jay, would there be enough room for injector bungs to be cast into the manifold? If so would that be a realistic option? Thanks Scott

[jayb]

I looked at that from a design perspective, and it really doesn't appear workable with the standard injectors that most people use.  However, there might be room for those newer mini-injectors.  I will leave enough material in the casting to at least try to machine injector bungs in one of them as a test.  If I can make it work, I will offer that as an option.

Save one for me Jay.

Absolutely I'll take one!
I'm curious Jay. Have you done any more dyno tests with the PSE base since completing your book? Just wondering if other 351C manifolds would perform better than the ones you tested. Hey... how about a mini book featuring the pse base?

[jayb]

Haven't done any more testing yet on the manifold base setup, but I plan to when I introduce the parts for sale.  I would certainly expect that the modern 351C intakes, like the Edelbrock 2865 or 2991, would be better than the old Torker I tested.

[Mike Anderson]

I would be interested in buying one since I have access to a couple of different 351C intakes (an old Scorpion and Torker)
