Intake gasket woes.....any suggestions?

[Gearhead999]

Thanks for the info. You sure have done your homework on sbf's.

I had a 68 1/2 428 CJ. It is awsome. Fast as hell, loads of torque too. The car I had was factory "R" car. A little rough to drive around here in Sunny Florida. Sold it...

Have a 68 Mustang FB with 289 now. Lots of work, roller cam, dual AFB's, AOD trans, 9 inch rear, 3.50 gears, hooker headers, 2 1/2 inch exhaust and ported factory 58 cc heads. Forgot windage tray, forged pistons, .060 overbore too.

The 426 I am building is for my brother. He is going to put it in a custom built Pantera. Yes, Yes I know they came with a 351C. But a stroked 351W is street power and that is what I build. I have a roller hyd Crane cam and MSD dist.

I would like to hear your input on induction. The car will have a 4 barrel carb and somebodies aluminum intake. Still haven't decided.

I am going to run the Elderbrock head, cause when I started this engine, several years ago, Crane recomended them and the pistons have been cut for the 2.02 chevy valves. If you remember Trick flow was having problems with their head then. Valve guides I think. Anyway, I'm sure I'll make enough power with the combo I have.

So, talk to me about your feels on intake. I have mine, but god only know, I'm open and listening.
