I just read an old article that boldly stated that you can pick up an easy 35 HP on your 2 brl Cleveland just by adding a stock 4 brl intake, even with the mismatch. Is this true?... and if so.. Are Clevelands starving for more cfm that bad?? Dan

I've read of similar results with the 429 stock heads/Cobra Jet intake.

I have heard that too, but have never tried it. I do know, that with the motors I have built, from mild to wild, they all seem to respond real well to more cfm.

I had a 70 Cougar with a 351C 2v and put a cast iron 4 barrel intake on and a 780 VS Holley. Man that car woke up. I also put a double roller chain on advanced 2 degrees, and dual exhaust. So the combination worked for that car, 2nd gear chearps, hazed them off on the line, and when I was driving normal, I got better gas milage then wioth the 2 barrel. To bad it was only a parts car, or Id still be driving it, sold the motor to a friend for his rustang. If you can find a chaper intake, not worth doing it anymore, the 4 barrel 2V intakes out know adays are worth abit more, and dont have the air turbulence caused by the port mismatch. But they do need a big carb, 780 VS for auto, or double pumper for stick.Rick

This subject comes at the right time. i am trying to help a friend make his '73 Ranchero a little better with a few performance mods. I bid on this manifold intake combo for him today and as of right new I am the high bidder.

Tanke a look and see what you think for a street driven ranchero.
