428's
Royce,
As always, thanks for the information. If I recall correctly, the 67 428PI motor came with C7AE heads. If so, the FE motor that I am building, with C7AE heads and a low rise 2x4 manifold and two holley 600's, is actually closer to the 67 428PI motor than any other ford factory combination. I know the 67 GT500 used a different intake (C7ZX ?) so it is not going to be identical. Were there any other 428 equipped cars that got 2x4 intakes? I wonder why they did not use the dual quads on the CJ. Would one of the 427 medium rise 2x4 intakes work well with the large port CJ heads? Also, I noticed that the 2x4 intake I have has different shape intake ports than the heads. The head's are wider than the intake's and the intake's ports are taller than the head's. How critical is it that I port match them. And is there a lot of metal that can sefely be removed from the C7AE heads before hitting water?
Thanks again,
Paul G.
