I was thinking of building a manifold similar to this one, instead of using just an H-series manifold



Then I thought about using a smallish 4-barrel carb, the smallest one i've been able to find is a 400cfm. What do you guys think, ps, this will be on my built F22A6.

 

Theres a fine line between bad *** and rediculous, I think it would take a dyno chart to convince me one way or the other. I know that type manifold kills on all motor K's, thats gotta be the first time I've seen a setup like that on a non K motor. I'd go single big *** throttle body vs. carb though... Carbs are cool if you have the time and patients for them, but short of bisi who would tune it? Need a throttle body like this

 

i decided not to fool with carbs.

 

I've been thinking about this since I read it last night and saw this picture. Im pretty intruiged since my F has a very similar manifold design. There is a lot of room for improvement that I can see from that photo though, since its a round throttle body centered on top of a flat top plenum with lots of dead space from side to side. The image of an LT-1 throttle body came to mind, its two smaller butterflys in one housing, I think it would be a much smoother flowing unit with less turbulance and even greater incoming air capability. Maybe the next best thing to ITB's. I put a wanted add out for a stock LT-1 throttle body so I can try this out.

 

I used to have one of those, unfortunately it went with the car that it was atatched to when I sold it.

here's one on Ebay....cheap.

Since I've never had one of these in hand, I'm only guessing it would be a good size. Since you've had one before do you think it would fit nicely on there? Off the top of your head do you think it would fit on a plenum block off plate or would it hang off the sides?

 

2 for $20

you mean an f/h plenum plate like the one above? If so, yes it would fit nicely.

 

arent those manifolds similar to the d16y7 mainifolds? something known not to flow well?

 

thats more like it

 

i see the need for a ricer hood scoop

i have a dual throttle body setup with custom adapter to the H22 manifold for sale if you are interested. Pm me for details.

you're asking if an h-series manifold is similar to a y7... no, they are not similar at all.

pm'd

 

accufab's ford lighting throttlebody is a good choice

no i meant

the d16y7 engines have the "downdraft" style, and in the d series world are seen has crap intake minis becuase they do not flow to well

and i do know that the d will not bolt to the h

 

well, the t-body pointing up is the only thing those manifold designs have in common.

totally different manifolds.. comparing apples to oranges...
