EVIL ENERGY Ford Small Block Polished Dual Plane Air Gap Intake Manifold

EVIL ENERGY Ford Small Block Dual Plane Air Gap Intake Manifold

The EVIL ENERGY Ford small block intake manifold is designed for compatible SBF Windsor 260, 289, 302, and 5.0L V8 engines using a carbureted fuel system. This dual plane air gap intake manifold has a listed 2000-5500 RPM operating range, making it a practical option for street-driven Ford small block builds, classic Mustang projects, cruiser vehicles, and low-to-mid RPM performance upgrades.

For builders working with a Ford 302 intake manifold upgrade or a classic small block Ford intake manifold swap, this cast aluminum carburetor-ready design provides a polished dual plane layout for compatible SBF Windsor combinations. It is intended for compatible 260, 289, 302, and 5.0L applications, not 255, Boss 302, or 351W engines.

Important: Always confirm engine family, cylinder head configuration, intake bolt pattern, carburetor mounting pattern, throttle linkage, fuel line routing, distributor clearance, hood clearance, air cleaner height, and gasket compatibility before ordering.

Vehicle and Engine Fitment

This small block Ford intake manifold is designed for compatible SBF Windsor 260 4.3L, 289 4.7L, 302 5.0L, and 5.0L V8 applications. Common reference platforms include Ford Mustang, Falcon, Torino, Mercury Cougar, Mercury Capri, Ford F-Series, Bronco, Econoline / Club Wagon, and other compatible Ford small block carburetor builds.

Vehicle names are provided as reference examples only. Engine swaps, cylinder head changes, carburetor selection, air cleaner height, throttle linkage, accessory brackets, distributor clearance, and hood clearance can affect final fitment. This manifold is not compatible with 255, Boss 302, or 351W engines. The 351W belongs to the broader small block Ford family but uses different intake manifold fitment, so the engine family must be verified before installation.

Why Choose This Ford Small Block Intake Manifold?

This Ford small block dual plane intake manifold is built for drivers who want a carburetor-ready street upgrade with a polished under-hood appearance. For many classic Ford V8 builds, throttle response, vacuum signal, cruising torque, and low-to-mid RPM drivability matter more than peak high-RPM output.

For compatible Ford Mustang, Falcon, Torino, Cougar, F-Series, Bronco, Econoline, or small block Ford swap projects using 260, 289, 302, or 5.0L Windsor engines, this EVIL ENERGY carburetor intake manifold provides a street-focused intake solution. Final results depend on the full engine combination, carburetor size, camshaft, exhaust, ignition timing, fuel system, and installation quality.
