Help with Inline 4 & crossboss intake

Worse, I believe you will need Cleveland head on an 8.2" block. And, that carb is sort of dead in the water. It was a great idea though. A real shame all 4bbl carbs aren't built that way.

Corky- you said you were building a 64 289, If you use the 289 crank you would have to have special pistons to work with the canted valves of the cleveland heads. A 302 crank could use Boss 302 pistons. If you are thinking of stroking it then????????????? A Tri power set-up or even a dual quad would be less complicated. Check out this link http://www.carlsfordparts.com/main.html and look under the induction systems for complete set-ups

The 351C pistons have the correct pin height to run in a 289. They come in a variety of compression ratios and are easy to get....the carbs and intake are another thing.

Thanks for all the info. The engine is the build shop and the shop is working up a price to stroke it. I want to get about 350 HP. He said the best way was a stroker. I still lean toward webers but the 3x2's are a neat setup, different than what you see all the time. I still guess a single 4bbl is the standard and less $$$ than all the rest. Roadrod2000, thanks for the link to Carl's Ford parts, the tripower set is cheaper than on ebay. Time is not critical but I would like to get it done over the winter and be ready for next driving time. Again thanks for all the input.
