Lykins Motorsports SBF Intake Manifold Installation...

[@jonathancross-jm9yu]

Another great build there Brent. Can’t wait to see this baby run and punch out some nice hp figures .I just love those small blocks, they’re awesome! Well done

[@jcnpresser]

You were giving me that Bob Ross vibe applying the silicone in the gaskets 😂

[@adambergendorff2702]

Looking forward to the dyno session.

[@brucesumner6993]

Thanks Brent!

[@RichardSteelman-w4s]

I need that valve spring tutorial Brent. Thanks ahead of time.

[@Turbo4Joe363]

Scope/Colonoscopy....Lol 😂 Just as long as you don't 'port match' with a grinder!

[@MikeFL2TX]

What is the customer putting this engine in?

[@hotrodray6802]

Im surprised that you didnt check the mating surfaces for paralell. And that you didnt mention using dowel bolts to be sure the intake comes straight down in place. You are good and dont need to, but we do. 👍 Also I would have boroscoped the match after tightening. 👍😎

[@lykinsmotorsports]

Hey, I mean it wouldn’t be KZbin without someone feeling like they need to tell me how to do it, right? The mating surfaces were surfaced last week because it needed to be cut .060”. Also, you can’t always use studs because sometimes the intake needs to be shifted one way or the other. Not sure what is difficult about just dropping the intake down and then checking it. How do you know I didn’t check it after the camera turned off?

[@douglasschuler9604]

What company ported the heads and intake? Do you have a link or info? Thanks.

[@timh6977]

Great content Brent. I have noticed on my Cleveland that oil will make it's way up through the intake gasket. Could the manifold mating surface be the wrong angle? Tim Australia 🇦🇺

[@lykinsmotorsports]

Yep

Thanks Brent I have 95 mustang GT l

According to Edelbrock, the optimum RPM range is 1,500-6,500. Will porting and putting a spacer on top increase that range above 6,500? Perhaps 7,000 or 7,500? What is your expert opinion?

[@lykinsmotorsports]

I don't look at rpm ranges for anything. Not for intakes, not for cams, etc. It all depends on the individual combination of parts. Runner length is associated with rpm. Runner length will also depend on the length of the head port. Just too many variables. On my 302 mule, I have no reservations about going to 7500-8000 with one.

[@joecraine4660]

When you have an engine that has a cylinder head that flows 300 cfm at .600" valve lift, you need an intake manifold that flows at least 330 cfm for the street. That RPM AG as cast from Edelbrock flowed 263.77 cfm average with one port only flowing 254.03 cfm. That would essentially strangle a 363CI SBF with 307.5 cfm heads. I always try to give a street engine at least 10% more airflow than the head at valve lift so that it does not hold the engine back in the upper rpm range. This RPM AG flows 330.68 cfm average for an increase of 66.91 cfm average flow. The intake will not hold the engine back. The RPM AG is not the intake of choice if the owner would race this engine, he should/would need to step up to a Victor Jr that can be ported to 400 cfm if needed. For race engines I always shoot for 120-125% of head flow at valve lift. Joe-JDC

[@douglashine9638]

How many RPM’s is that intake good for now?

[@lykinsmotorsports]

All of them.

[@guidorea8347]

​​Lol....😁 Looks like your comments ain't working....🤔?​@@lykinsmotorsports

@@lykinsmotorsports Don’t quit your day job… 😝

[@darrelpastorius2221]

Why don't you put 2 studs in each head to align the manafold when you install it ?

[@lykinsmotorsports]

Because some times the intake needs to be shifted one way or another to make the ports line up.

[@TimothyArnott-m7z]

Hey Brent, Tim here, ok, here's a worthless question.....but I'm dying to know......what's with ur black ring u always wear??...somethin ur kid made??.....I'm super curious.....I know its a stupid query, my curiosity is gettin the best of me......ok, I wrote it down u like D/C 732....we cud use that at our shop.....also, intrested in knowing if ur gonna work with Daniel (Powell) on some cam grinds for you......I follow you BOTH, and he's quite snazzy, but so are YOU!!...I hope a collaboration cud happen, and be good for BOTH..........what's with the black ring??....haha....PEACE to you sir....

[@lykinsmotorsports]

It's a plastic wedding band. So if I get it caught on something, it will break before it degloves my finger. On the pinky of my other hand is a stainless steel ring, which is a ring that mechanical engineers wear who have taken an oath of ethics.

[@TimothyArnott-m7z]

@lykinsmotorsports OH, that's just AWESOME Brent.......TY for takin the time to answer my silly query.......like a Doc, takin the OATH.......yea, well, we NEED dudes like you, that are spot on, and give a crap!!......Thanx again!!

[@TimothyArnott-m7z]

@lykinsmotorsports any thoughts on the Powell/Lykins collaboration??......dont have to answer.....just curious, I KNOW he's a stand up guy!!

[@kyleriegel9524]

But can you perform a colonoscopy while flying a plane?? That would take real talent!!
