It would go in a 73 F250.  I figured it was tall and thought if I added spacers it be even taller but I do have some room under the hood.  Do you know how tall it is?  Or maybe an idea on how much taller it be then a performer rpm (have now).
Thanks

Way freaking taller LOL but, I bet it has a good chance to fit under a truck hood.  We needed a Boss 9 scoop on a 67 Mustang, but that's a whole different animal

As far as low end, we didn't see a low end power issue, they are long runners which help torque, but as Jay said, you need a good pump shot if you foot tries to go deep into it in a hurry.  A pair of blue pump cams would likely do it on a pair of 600s, worst case, go up a size on the shooter to get it there quicker. If you have a good timing curve and not overcammed, I doubt it would be that much trouble.

Measured my F-66 and M/T compared to my RPM both are about 2.5 inches taller.
But for the M/T you need the special Distributor adapter and modified Distributor.
Ford 3X2 Look great and are affordable as well

If you want a really unique intake look at a Weber setup or the one I have for my Low Hood car a F-68
I'm patient and haven't paid more than $400 for any of my Intakes. I just put a sign at Swap meets "Ford FE HiPo parts wanted" and they come to you.
Of course this is SW Oregon and no one knows what a FE is.

Well...

All of my experience is with the M/T Power Ram. In Jay's testing it was well down on power from the Edelbrock ram.

Took some fiddle'n 'round with but basically you need a lot of initial timing and pump shot. The linkage is as simple as a door hinge and two rods going out to the carbs.

I drove my '56 T-Bird with a mild 428 and the Power Ram for several years, even in Los Angeles stop-'n-stop traffic with no real drama.

I did indeed "butcher up" my vintage M/T intake to fit 4 Holley 4412 2 barrel carbs. Intending to put that on my straight axle Comet project.
