RE: Intake Manifold By Dave Shoe - 03/05/2001 12:10:15 AM; IP 12.2.11.131 There is really only one type of cast iron intake for the FE until 1966 hit and emissions stuff increased the options. You've got sort of a "low-riser" style intake - basically designed the same whether 2V or 4V. The 1965 iron intake is the last one with the large ports which lead to the heads, it lost the road-draft tube a couple years earlier and the front oil filler moved away from the distributor to a new place on the valve covers. It's not a performance intake, but it can make good torque. In 1966-76 this intake became known as the "T" intake and the ports were basically shrunk to match with '66-later emissions heads. The runners didn't change. It may use either the large thermostat flange or the small thermostat flange - there were two popular thermostat diameters for the FE these years, but I'm still trying to learn these details. Shoe.

This thread, so far...
