Too many compromises for me at this point.
Ron certainly is in a better position to adapt the 351w intake.
Stock 351w gaskets are 1.360" x 2.140". Those are pretty close to his C302 heads.
The Trickflow may have more meat in the runner walls to port match then others. Maybe not.
Certainly I wouldn't touch those heads one iota.
He's running a 351w block.
No so my case.
I never said that I have the ultimate setup. What I said was that considering performance/dollar, mine is hard to equal.
With this much modification to the 351w EFI manifold to run on a 351c, Kelly's IR EFI is the best way to go, and it fits under the deck. A close second best is IDA throttle bodies on a Weber manifold. Especially if the deck is already cut.
Ofcourse if a nice EFI 351c hit the market tomorrow, that certainly could change things.
If a large comet or asteroid hit the earth it could also.
Just my very humble opinion gentlemen.
