I am still searching for a 6x2 intake or complete setup for ford fe engines. Were edelbrock the only company casting these? I found 1 post from a few years ago claiming weiand & offenhauser both made them also, is that correct? Does anybody know where I may be able to get one? I will be in the states durring August and am looking to buy. Any leads or imformation greatly appreciated.
Good luck in finding one.Ive been looking for one for years.All my FE intakes are Edelbrock except for the blower intake that I have.Shoot up to Bakersfield when you are there & see Squeek, he may be able to help you out ,,Deadbeat
Blue Thunder makes a new 8V manifold, part number #IM-427MR-8V <!--"''"--> Here is a link to their website. There is no picture of it so I don't know how HAMB friendly it is or what carbs it takes. http://www.bluethunderauto.com/id25.html Can't help you out on a 6X2
I only know of Edelbrock. I have never seen any other makers in old magizines or for sale. Look here for a bunch of FE intakes that were available... http://home.windstream.net/bsprowl/Intake/AfterMarket/indexAfter.html Mike
I was going to run 6 94s but im saving for all 97 big logos. My t is going to be a 60s inspired drag coupe. Spindle mounts up front no brakes, pie crust slicks in rear etc.
Cost for the 6X2 Edelbrock's are all over the map. I got mine last fall with 7 94's for $400. Jumped on that as fast as I could. Nick, still looking for you. The offer still stands for a tripower if you want to wait. My tri's are going nowhere. (FERoadster) Movin/on
I found an NOS Edelbrock 6x2 on ebay, and paid dearly for it. I had to do a nightly search for about 3-4 months on that damn site and Google as well before I found one. Patience and fortitude....
i have one as well....Its an old polished unit that doesnt look like it was ever on anything..UNTIL i put it on my motor...haha I've only seen 1 other one in person and it was from New Zealand..Its an Edelbrock...Found mine in Alaska..actually it found me..haha
Harrys coupe from New Zealand at speedweek 08 Cshabang i'm guessing this is the car your talking about its now back here. I wish one of those intakes would find me. Thanks movin /on i will be in touch by email your offer is very generous any of you guys going to speedweek this year i hope to pull in friday afternoon. be nice to meet some other fe freaks?
I was the one bidding against you on eBay for that intake! I found one a couple weeks later on eBay for $675 with carbs, linkage and fuel block. Mike
Yeah, that's how my luck goes. I thought about going after that one too. I also missed out on the one Movin/On got for 400 bucks. That was a steal! I've been thinking about buying all new Strombergs for mine. It's only money, right?
Yep...thats the one Nick...I cant wait to get started on my truck just to stuff that in the engine compartment for mock up..hahaha
I really lucked out on the 6X2. I later paid $600 for a NOS Latham Supercharger manifold for one of my FE's. I consider the Latham manifold really rare (I do have a Latham 12 stage setup & 6 Carter YH's to adapt). I've had really good luck on the FEForum. Just bought 2 really nice Cal Custom FE Valve Covers for an FE for $100. Nick Try the Vintage Thunderbird Club Forum if you know someone who is a forum member. I'm going to join in the next week since I've still got a 60 T-Bird Convert in Michigan. After I join I'll ask if you haven't already. Movin/on
After trying to bring 6 old crusty carbs back to life, I had thoughts about new Strombergs too. I just mounted my intake a week ago and am getting the carbs and linkage sorted now. My goal is to have it done by the Midnight Mass car show in Sacramento which is in a couple of weeks. Mike
