GT40 intake
 

I have a mild 351 I'm switching to fuel injection. I found a gt40 with a 351 lower for $400 is that a good deal? and could you please tell me the pros and cons to the gt40 intake
thanks

Pro: Flows better than a stock intake.
Con: Flows better than a stock intake.

Pro: $400 is a pretty good price.
Con: $400 for what you get isn't all that great.

Pro: Building a mild 351 will require a different intake than stock.
Con: It will probably require a better intake than the GT40, stock.

Pro: You can port intakes for better flow.
Con: You cannot port the GT40 upper due to thin castings.

Pro: The GT40 intake has long runners that work well for building torque on a small displacement V8 like the 302.
Con: The 351 doesn't need that kind of help and the long style runners hurt it's upper rpm performance.

thanks
 

think you answered my question. think the tfs is a better choice?

Yep. I haven't heard if Holley is making a 351W intake yet.

unit, i have a hogged out rpm intake on my 95 do you think the tfs track heat or the holley will flow better?

Just on the of chance you can score a 302 intake cheap, like an efi Performer, here's something you might be interested in:

Also, the Explorer 302 intake flows better than
the GT, about equal to the Cobra, and can be
had cheap at the right junkyard and could be
used with those adapters.

Here's some info:

I'm looking at the same situation on a limited budget. focusing on highest possible mid-range torque for hiway rpm in a heavy vehicle
