I just wanted to point out that there is a Ford Motorsport version of the Edelbrock Torker that was made for the A3 heads.
The ports would be wider than those of the C302b heads. I don't know how much that would effect it BUT it fits in a Pantera just like an Edelbrock Torker would. I believe it is an A341 numbered intake.
I had three of them at one time. The last one I sold went for $850. They are very hard to come by these days.
It matches the high port intakes (1/4" higher) and has no exhaust heat crossovers.
I HAVE used Devcon Plastic aluminum on the ports of regular Edelbrock Torkers and so far, the engine has not eaten any of the filler...so far. I don't really feel comfortable with using the stuff long term.
Lots of the circle track racers do use it but they normally destroy a couple of engines a season and tear down and rebuild anyway.
I haven't seen dyno numbers from Dan Jones on that set up yet. He did dyno the regular Torker and it did quite well. I would have to think the A341 should do even better?
