Late model ford intake question.
I picked up a 83 4 barrel aluminum intake off a mustang yesterday(Fords version of the Edelbrock performer) and I'm wanting to use it on a 302 I'm getting ready to put together for a 48 F1. My question is has anybody run one and what did you do to bypass the EGR plate?

Re: Late model ford intake question.
You can try to block off the exhaust crossover, but you still have a light weight version of an iron manifold, not even close to an Edelbrock Performer. Best idea is to scrap it and buy something better

Re: Late model ford intake question.
It's not an exact version however according to some things I've read it is close and cheaper than a performer. The performer runs out at 5500 vs this one that runs out at 4500, Besides this is a fairly stock rebuild.

Re: Late model ford intake question.
Kill two birds with one stone,click on this www.summitracing.com and put this number in search TRD-2432 this will block off the port and increase the low end and mid-range.If you are freshening up your 302 you might want to check out this part # SUM-K3600 this is a copy of the Ford Motorsports grind that Ford recently discontinued since they are only listing the roller cams now,I am running this cam low end and mid-range is great and will pull to 6,000 RPM no problem.

Re: Late model ford intake question.
If it were mine, I would make a steel plate to block off the EGR, then run a 500 Edelbrock on a two inch high four hole spacer. Combine that with a stock rebuild with about a 260 degree advertised cam for good bottom end and a dynamite mid range. Not for racing.
