Reply to "what is the correct intake if.........."

> Was there an intake that was lower to match the C302b head ???

There were a series of intakes with C302B ports sizes but all were fairly
tall and won't fit under a stock screen. Kelly Coffield has a Weber/EFI
lower that will fit under a stock screen with short stacks. There were
also some rare versions of intakes like the A331 that may have had smaller
ports. I have a set of A3 heads that had narrower ports, as well. I've
also heard of taller versions of the A331 that were more like a Scorpion
than a Torker (the Scorion was a taller version of the Torker, the Edelbrock
A331 was a high port version of the Torker). Apparently these were made for
specifc race teams.

If you're going racing, I'd run one of the taller intakes with a taller
screen.

> Dan do you have any Oliver rods ?? Cranks ?? for sale ?

I'm using my Oliver rods but I do have a set of 6" Carrillos, a forged steel
crank and Wiseco domed pistons (4.030" bore by 3.5" stroke). The assembled,
balanced reciprocating assembly is in an XE block at the moment but I'd be
willing to sell the assembly separate from the block. I also have a dry
sump set up.

Can you turn it upside down and look for a 4 digit number?

Interesting. I've heard there were some variations on these intakes
for specific race teams but I would have thought they would work through
Ford. Maybe they went directly to Edelbrock who cast the Torker version
of the A331. Roush cast the C302B specific version.
