edelbrock intake conversion questions

[NecroWolf]

i'm wondering how it's worked out for anyone who's done it? i'm thinking about trying it but not sure. has anyone done a back to back testing? is everyone using the elbow and a single blade throttle body or has someone used something like a holley four barrel throttle body?

I am using the 90* plenum Rpm makes for the stock style throttle body . I didnt want to spend the extra for the ford style tb with adapters and Im still using the stock fuel rail as well . The times im shooting for wont be held up with these couple stock parts left so why over do it .

I have had this conversion done for the past 3-4 years. I used the mustang style 85-90mm throttle body. I've had great results with it and I've been very happy. I didnt do any back to back comparrisons with the stock intake to the edelbrock one.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

If you can find a Holley EFI intake it would probably be cheaper. I bought one and then sold it as it wouldnt fit my bowtie heads. I think I sold it for like $150 or so a few months back. Gotta make sure you know what bolt pattern goes with which heads though before getting it. The one I had went to the stock style 6 bolt intake pattern.

Btw, Nick how much clearance is there under the stock hood?

I would say its no higher than the stock intake. I dont know the exact clearance, but there is plenty to clear the stock hood with the spacer intalled on there, I havent had any problem since its been on.

this one has a 1" spacer to clear the fuel rails and it clears the stock hood with ease.
