Title: 351C intake
Post by: Bruce M on June 14, 2011, 08:39:04 PM
Does anyone know where to find a good 351C intake. This is for my  ex-bosses mud bogger. We're running an Edelbrock torker now but we're looking for something better, hopefully something in the 3500-8000 RPM range. We where running open chamber heads with 12.6-1. Now we're running close chamber heads with 13.4-1 and lighter valvetrain. It was a lillte lean with the 850 double pumper so we've stepped up to a 950HP. What we're looking for is somthing like a victor intake but Edelbrock does'nt make one for a 351C.  I've search all over the web and can't find anything. I know someone makes a high rised single plane, I've seen them before but cant find one now. Any help would be awesome. Thanks.

Jegs sells  Weiand and other Edelbrock setups for the Cleveland, for both 2V and 4V heads. They are definitely out there.

Last time I checked all Edelbrock and Weiand had were dual planes and low rise single planes. I'm looking for something with at least a 3000-8000 RPM range. I found one last night, its a trickflow but its only 3000-7000 and its $500. I'd like to find something in the 2 to 3 hundred dollar range cause I'm going to surpize him with it. Anyway heres a video.

He was turning at least 7800 RPMs in these videos.

We needed something higher like 3K to 8K RPMS. The torker we were useing is better then the X-celerator. I think I got a connection on a tunnel ram thats good from 4500-9500 RPMs. All we need is the top part that will except a single carb. Summit has them.

I see. I don't know a whole lot about carbed set-ups, I've always been a FI guy. Getting a crash course with my new old truck though. Sounds like your boss has a pretty sweet motor, what car/truck is in?

It's the 77 Bronco in the video I posted. We figured that with the new heads, intake, and carb that its probably around 650-700 horsepower.
