3X2 intake for 302 SBF???? Do they exist????

I have a 1973, 302 motor.
I would like to find out if anybody made or makes a 3X2 intake manifold for a SBF?

 

Mooneyes has em. But they're like 400$. www.mooneyes.com

 

Thanks I just found it. I feel like an idiot.

 

Ford also offered one over the parts counter in the '60s; I remember seeing them in Cobra Equipment ads in Hot Rod magazine.

 

I also looked for 3-2 intakes for my sbf bought decided not to get it because you got to use ugly 2 barrel carbs, I thought a 4 barrel looked fine with one of those caddy air cleaners and be easier and cheaper

 

This site has a bunch of info...

Company called Pony Carburetion makes SBF tri-power kits using Ford OEM 2 barrels. Generally pretty trouble free carbs, don't know how they perform. Do a google search, also Pony Carburetion show up on ebay a lot.

 

I know a guy here who's making (casting) new tops for the injection manifolds so they can run triples, either 4 or 3 bolt bases (97's, 94's). The injection manifold bottoms are worth nothing, the new tops are something like $250 Australian, which would be $200 ish US. I'll try for a pic.

It's not a perfect period solution, but cheap!

 

I got mine about 3 years ago from Carl`s ford parts but I`m not finished with the truck yet.(diabetes got me stoved up) I had Obrien truckers make the air cleaners for it as I didnt like the stock air cleaner that came with it.....

 

One could use the carb adaptors to mount 94's or 97's...

 

Was'nt there a factory tripower for fords??

 

The Y blocks had a lot of factory tri power.
The 289 - 302 was aftermarket with little factory parts available.

 

Backwards. The Y-BLOCK 3X2 was aftermarket (rumors of an experimental BILL STROPPE setup on 1957 MERC).

Most everything for the SBF was factory released with the proper 2300 HOLLEYS. These were known as COBRA KITS and were available over-the counter.

BLUE THUNDER is the source of the present re-casts.

PONY CARBURETORS is making a setup using 2100 AUTOLITES.

 

I believe Barry Grant is offering the six-shooter for SBF too....not quite as retro though, eh?

 

I'd love to see it, I spent a bunch time this weekend looking at an EFI lower intake and my collection of two barrels trying to work somethink out. I couldn't quite work out an independent runner set up.

 

The 5.0L lower plenum will give you a single plane manifold. You could go to a log type if you can get away with a single plane on the street.

The BG setup is a HIGH TECH look. Great for customizing.

 

Might be time to announce that I'm tooled up to offer my 4 x 7 air cleaners for the Barry Grant SixShooters (SBC pictured) to give them a little more traditional look. What do you think?

Also, here are two companies offering SBF set ups:

Spoke to the adaptor guy tonight. This thing is totally fresh and I haven't even seen it with my own beady eyes yet, but he's taking some pix as I type. I'll post as soon a I get them as I know some of you are interested.

 

Carrol Shelby had 500 of these kits built in Detroit back in 1965, for The Shelby 350.
They were a "Dealer Installed Option" Sold for $249. installed !!! WOW!
I paid $3k each for mine.
Because all 3 carbs needed to be tuned individually, [what a pain] they didn't sell many.
Ford Crushed 250 of them.
Ya can see one of mine in my Truck, [I owned 2]
I have lots of Docs available.
Any Q's? Text me- DO NOT call me as I'm hearing impaired and don't answer calls.

406 Ford Galaxy and 410 Murc Marader back in the mid 60's

 

These are a poor copy, and I mean POOR! of the original "Barr Foundry" manifolds.
Orig had "Barr" cast into the underside, and they are spectacular.

 

There was SBF 3x2 in the Muscle parts catalog, I have one on the shelf I will not use.
It looks the same but it does not have any part numbers on it.
I can post a photo tonight.

 

Buddy had a Falcon convertible (Sprint) with a 260 and 3-2's. Cobra kit, valvecovers and air cleaner. 4spd runnin little ******. Lippy

 

Make a Sam-O-Ram for a SBF...

 

Here is the one on my shelf, I do not need UPDATE INTAKE HAS BEEN SOLD

 

It has been a while since a new guy dug up a really old thread. Nearly 16 years old, just about ready for it's license.

 

I had a “ Buddy Bar Casting” tri power on my 302 in a off topic Comet GT. Never had an issue with tune, ran great. I even had a cruise control connected to it.

 

It's ok, I'm getting older and it's like when I dig a car part out of my stash that I didn't remember I had!! Christmas!

 

There is a Blue Thunder one on Ebay right now and it is only a little over $900 with shipping what a deal.
