Anyone Used This Intake?

As far as I know the PIM manifold is made in Australia by a company called TFC. The pictures of the manifold in PIM's ad are quite old however. They've been there for more than a decade. That is not what the current TFC manifold looks like. Check out the pics in the link. TFC at Aus Ford Parts. PIM's price is fair as long as they are selling the current version of the manifold and not an older version.

I've known a few people who've used the TFC manifold with 2V heads over the years, everybody has liked it in that application.

If you have a stock or street motor, try to find a dual plane manifold like the Blue Thunder. A really fantastic piece of kit. I replaced an Edelbrock 351 with the Blue Thunder, and the difference was dramatic.

Contact them and see if it available.

Did you have a before and after dyno sheet?

Thanks for all the suggestions fellas, I have no previous dyno on the car, here's the current motor set up.

Original matching numbers Boss 351 Cleveland, 4-bolt main, bored .030 over with standard stroke. Balanced and blueprinted with 10.5:1 compression ratio.

Original Ford closed chamber heads, ported and polished with stainless steel valve guides (int. valve 2.21, exh. valve 1.64)

Engine preparation: Reworked oil journals for optimum flow. The block has been magnafluxed and checked out negative for any stress cracks. ARP bolts throughout. Cloyes double roller timing chain. High flow/high volume billet water pump.

Edelbrock Victor series manifold, Demon 750CFM carburetor with mechanical secondaries, Holley 80 GPH fuel pump, Edelbrock aluminum water pump.

MSD 6AL electronic ignition w/plug-in limiter (6100rpm), MSD Blaster coil with MSD crank trigger distributor.

Ford Motorsport aluminum roller-tip needle bearing rockers (1.73) and Ford Motorsport springs. Competi- tion Cams camshaft. Stainless steel valves.

Cloyes double roller timing chain, Ford Motorsports aluminum rockers with needle bearings, Comp Cams hydraulic 264 cam, ARP bolts throughout with braided stainless steel lines.

PI Motorsports ceramic coated headers with ANSA mufflers.

Moroso 2 pc. nine quart oil pan with Sealed Power high volume oil pump.

Ford Racing polished aluminum valve covers and polished aluminum air cleaner with K&N filter.

Aluminum radiator with twin high performance electric fans. Stainless steel coolant overflow bottles with stainless steel water tubes.

90 amp alternator with high torque starter.

I agree with Dave's endorsement of the Blue Thunder manifold, best street manifold for the 4V heads. The dual plane design spreads the pulses within the manifold. It has the same effect on the induction system that 180 degree headers have on the exhaust system; i.e. it boosts mid-rpm power. Where you can use the power best on the street.

But if it is a single plane intake you're interested in, for 4V heads, another Australian business owned by Terry Parker manufactures tall NASCAR style manifolds like that for both 2V and 4V heads, he calls them "Funnel Web" manifolds. And Trick Flow Specialties has recently released a "Track Heat" manifold that fits both 2V and 4V applications, just like the TFC manifold. Its supposed to be a hot performer. Picture below.
