FORD INTAKE MANIFOLDS.

FROM STREET TO SERIOUS SINGLE DOMINATOR INTAKE MANIFOLDS!
This is one of the first video I did and the lighting and volume is not that great!
Obtw, I get numerous requests for technical advice and if interested, tex me @ 626 203 2712. Half hour to 1 hour+ rates are available. Most calls go over as posted and it is ok. US Pacific time zone.

I love a Ford guy that knows his stuff love your videos keep up the great work Ford power forever baby keep on pulling the knot out of them bow ties

Thanks 👍

Oh your one of those guys. There all nuts and bolts. They all have their pros and cons. Having an allegiance to only 1 company is childish.

[@benalamedaracing2765]

@@shootermcgavin2819, well it is not bad to have one allegiance to a company and makes them experts in that field. Have you heard of jack of all trades and master of none? Which one would you rather have?

[@shootermcgavin2819]

@@benalamedaracing2765 As long as you understand that not one company is better than the other. Thats childish. All companies all have their pros and cons. Thats all im saying. And to answer your question.. I was forced to choose the jack because the two "master Ford Mechanics" I took my 93 Ford F150 5.0 to couldn't find my problem. My neighbor who doesn't consider himself a mechanic found the problem. Intake gasket needed to be replaced. Problem solved. Thats what I know about "masters" sir. There aren't any..

[@benalamedaracing2765]

@@shootermcgavin2819, OK Lol. If ever you need a heart transplant you to not go to a dentists! Everyone has to have an expertise/specialization and that is what it is all about. As far as those mechanics you said it right mechanic! Perhaps they are parts changers and a technician is more aware and has a different skill set than a mechanic. Your words not mine. Obtw, if you think I have allegiance to Henry's cars just check what powers the yellow Toyota pick up, a 68 camaro and that awesome GMC blown Maverick and they are nowhere a Ford! There are lots more than I have not posted yet. You jumped into conclusions on what I build.

Another great video. I have a 427sbf with a set of heads that flow 305cfm. It currently has a Vic jr on it but I suspect it’s being choked. I was thinking it would benefit from the BME manifold. It’s a solid roller motor that Ron Robart built so I’m hesitant to mess with it lol.

[@benalamedaracing2765]

Port match the manifold to the heads first and try it! It comes from the factory on the small side so that it can be perfectly match to most cylinder heads.

[@I_like_turtles_67]

Super Victor is my favorite big 351w motor intake.

[@jimmymccormick142]

I went along the great look with Ford products and when I was growing up I rode a lot of fast cars and I like my Fords the best cuz he didn't make a lot of noise they just made a lot of power and I like that

[@benalamedaracing2765]

The stroker small blocks specially the 351's will give any big blocks a run for their money and they are powerful as well as light for their displacement!

[@GroverBoysRacing777AdamGrover]

My stock bottom end e7 headed combo that ran 10.80s on motor has a weiand action plus on it with minor work done. Runners were straightened out, casting flash cleaned up, some of the harsh turns were rounded and the divider was thinned out. That combo also went 9.90s on a 150 shot pump gas 93 octane. I tried a parker funnel web and a holley hogh ram with a single flange 4250 top and all the torque left. The action plus went right back on lol

[@benalamedaracing2765]

The funnel web is really delicate as far as combination goes and wants lots of compression and cam lifts. The E7 is for sure overwhelmed by such a tall and large port intake and I see you felt that and switch back!

[@GroverBoysRacing777AdamGrover]

@@benalamedaracing2765 oh i felt it. The car was on a 28" tire with 4.30 gears and a t5 2.95 first gear ratio and bogging on the st leaving at 4000 rpm lol. The rpm drop was absolutely horrible. I like a wide rpm band, if i see a tight rpm band on an intake or a camshaft i tend to steer away from it. That low end torque and average power is whats most important. That peak hp number is nice to brag about but absolutely worthless if the average number is garbage. Esp on a low cubic inch low compression engine. That little 302 woth that action plus i could lug that engine in 4th gear down to 500 rpms with an anderson n51 camshaft in and itd pull right back up to crusing speeds smoothly with ease. Thankyou for your videos and sharing your knowledge. My dad and i love your videos. I learn something everytime i watch. Thankyou!

[@benalamedaracing2765]

@@GroverBoysRacing777AdamGrover, Anderson camshaft are one of my favorites to use for racing or hot street duties. They have perhaps the most researched grinds for the SBFs! Thanks to you and your dad for you guys support. Appreciate it much.

[@Kashusr]

Loving the content Ben. Does BMP make an intake for a 8.2 deck? If not would you say the super victor would be the best n/a for a 302ci at 7500rpm?

[@benalamedaracing2765]

They might and check on their catalogs and if not the Super Vic is one good manifold!

[@trailerparkcryptoking5213]

Great info! Is the Performer RPM manifold a good choice for a 7500 RPM 289 street engine? Much less cubic inches than your SBF’s.

[@benalamedaracing2765]

Should work specially with a 650cfm DP and a stall converter or 5 speed.

[@bobbyoshomebuilt2544]

LOL, I had one of the Port-O-Sonics on a Pontiac back in the day, it seemed to work well.

[@benalamedaracing2765]

Which Offy did you end up running?

[@bobbyoshomebuilt2544]

@@benalamedaracing2765 It was a single plane with a divider, I think it was called "port-o-sonic"? I just remember it was odd but seemed to run very well on a 350 pontiac with a crane cam and headers.

[@benalamedaracing2765]

@@bobbyoshomebuilt2544, ok got it and it was called Equa-flow a single plane with a divider in it and remember it well. It responded but had issues of cylinder robbing on adjacent next to each other intake opening. For ex. firing order 15426378 the last two #7 and #8 on the same bank will rob off each other, 13726548 will rob also on the same bank #6 then #5. This said I wonder if your engine has a next to each other intake opening issue that will screw things up @ high engine speeds.

[@bobbyoshomebuilt2544]

@@benalamedaracing2765 Thank you Ben, it was long ago and I didn't know much at the time. We more or less put together what we could with what was available locally. I am so grateful for guys like you who share years of experience. I used to read much from Joe Sherman long ago and I get the same feeling listening to you and a few others like David Vizard. You guys have a way of conveying decades of experience based knowledge which I try to take in and apply. Thank you for sharing!

What do you think about the bud moore 2x4 boss manifold with 2 dominator carbs each venturi goes to 1 cylinder so there's no plenum

[@benalamedaracing2765]

The Bud Moore box was great once you figured out the fuel distribution! Now on these one it is strictly high rpm and one venturi for every intake port is great if it is for high engine speeds!

[@evanarthur7535]

Do you know the cfm rating of a SBF 302 Performer RPM? My heads flow about 280 cfm and I guess I’m making around 425 hp. Was thinking of porting the first 1.5 inches of the runner at the head side to match my #1262 gasket.

[@benalamedaracing2765]

You should port match it and should not hurt one bit specially with a Performer RPM!

[@frankluchard1814]

Do have any experience with the holley sniper carb intake

[@benalamedaracing2765]

I did numerous tests for a magazine running 4 different carbs then switching to the Holley FI and it worked. Best to post questions to their tech line to remove any doubts or questions.

[@kevineguia8721]

Ben tfs 11r heads 170s which intake airgap or Victor jr,93 lx,4.30 gears 5speed

[@benalamedaracing2765]

Depends on your camshaft and compression ratios that you have. How big is the engine?

[@GFPRACING]

Who Makes the Intake That does Not Have the Coolent Cross Over . you said Flange for a 4500 Dominator

[@benalamedaracing2765]

Use the 2828 Edelbrocks and they are affordable as well as impressive for Hp!

[@twinn136th3]

You like tunnel rams?

[@benalamedaracing2765]

Tunnel rams and sheetmetal intakes belong to the same category! High rpms small cubic inches or big displacement engines with rpm potential.
