WAAAY O/T Sorry. 5.0 stang question

Howdy- tech question here regarding 5.0 mustang parts.
I have a Super Ford magazine from April '91, and there is an ad for a "trick flow" dual intake induction system, plus a manifold. Says this assembly is availiable from "Will Burt Automotive". Anyone know where I could get one now? Anyone have any info? am I picking in the wrong nostril here?

Bad, Bad,Bad....go to the 5.0 Ford sites with that question

 

Uh, I did put O/T in the title. It's a tech post. 5.0 Boards have no centralization, no focus, no help.

thanks,

Here's a cheap possible way to find your answer.

Go to your local book or magazine store and look at the latest
Mustang mags.

Some of thease mags are a half an inch thick. With 1000s of advertisers.

Look thru and take notes or cough up the $5-7 for the mag . Well worth
the cost for the info .

 

Have you tried "trick flow" in ANY search engines ?

Or how about http://www.trickflow.com/

 

sounds like a job for the kirk brothers!

 

Whaddya think, I'm an idiot? Of course I did online searches before I came here. I hate to do O/T's cuz someone will always piss in yer borscht!
Thanks for the replies. It's fer a track car that a pal of mine and I will be building to race this spring and summer.

now, if ya woulda put "302" in the title intsead of 5.0, ya wouldn't have gotten ragged on.
some of these guys haven't figgered it out yet that an engine is an engine and can POTENTIALLY be installed in anything.

btw, i don't know shit about trick flow stuff....
no help here but it's BTT

 

Hey, if I can still buy parts for my 4.2 liter 1951 Merc Flatty, you can find this intake..

 

I don't think they are being made anymore. I remember drooling over them in the mags way back.

I've never actually seen one in person but they sure are a trick piece.

It was also marketed by BBK as the "octopus" intake.

 

It's not fer a rod. My friend and I are putting together a track car, and this thing looks like it would kick butt @ the track.
Thanks!

i'd check with Summit....they have a lot of other "trick flow" parts in their catalog...maybe they could get it

 

They only made a handful of them and you probably won't find one in your lifetime. Seriously.

What about the old BXR intake? At least they actually made a few production units of that thing.

I'll check summit. Thanks.

Good luck finding one of those manifolds there were very few made.
This was a very good part but died due to lack of funding and transition time at Trick Flow.

WHy are you looking for one? IF you are building a race car that old intake won't hold a candle to any of the new intakes that are out. Some of trick flows new manifolds will blow it away. There are several intake sthat are far better attched to today's available parts. I drooled over the same intake, but would never buy one to race it.

 

Yeah , since summit owns trick flow now --that is the place to look , or ask for what you are wanting

 

The manifold in question is like no other manifold ever made fo rhte 5.0l It's long since out of production and only a few were made. They were like $1000 in 1990 and I think they bolterd to a truck intake. So it was a bare upper intake only. Big money even then. Almost noboby is going to have one. Finding one will be very hard.

For time involved and the cost if you find one for sale, you could more easily buy a better newer intake or build one yourself.

 

Are you talking about this one, or the dual plenum?

The corral used to talk about these weird manifolds now and then.

That manifold pictured in the link above looks like the PU intake with the plenum modified to mount the stock twin bore throttle body on the side. Anyone with a TIG and the ability to weld aluminum plate shouldn't have any trouble modifying the stock Ford truck stuff. However as stated above, the BRX was actually produced for a while and looks like it could really put out (huge straight tapered runners tuned for elevated power levels at specific RPM ranges). Far more trick than a modified Ford piece,too, if you're after looks.

 

If you are talking about the two TB intake, if I remember, one of the big reasons that intake, and other two throttle body intakes didn't go over was the difficulty in makeing two TB's work with the EEC. Are you using the EEC, or an aftermarket controller?
