carlthess40 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Sweet list of first cars. Any of you ford guys that have a FE engine let me know. I have a very rare ford factory aluminum 3x2 with carbs intake for sale. I even have the air cleaner cover and the code correct yellow air filter. Asking 3500 complete shipping would be from lake mary Florida zip code 32746 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlthess40 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 This setup on a 1963 1/2 Galaxy 500xl with a 427 made 75 hp over the single 4 barrel carb and 50 hp more then the same edelbrock setup. But the edelbrock has much smaller runners then the ford one. This is the same intake that was killing the Chrysler hemi on the 1/4 mile and NASCAR back in the 60's and 1970-71Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlthess40 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 How did those pipes get so blue? [emoji3]That's called running the rich on the carbs. But they look pretty good. I've seen them blue and yellow half way down the pipesSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
