20 Best Intake For 460 Ford (2023 Updated)

Building a Ford f350 work horse. So a good low rpm range dual high rise was perfect. On the shelf, had it next day at my door. I do wanna say, that Speedway motors don’t mess around when it comes to shipping.

When I need something yesterday, they get it to me 2 days before.

every thing i have ordered is just as described and shipping has been great also. i would recomend speedway motors to anyone my 63 429 cid falcon is coming together great

Perfect for the look and also kinda stock approach for the engine. I know my engine will only last a year or so from now for my application. And its perfect.

Awesome intake cant wait to getit on the engine

I had a electric fan and my 502 big block just kept climbing. Now with flex fan it won’t go past whatever thermostat I put in running at 180 even without fan shroud!!

I am going with a sniper efi on a ford 427 in a older bronco. It’s for my niece so I want it reliable

Distributors with a bolt down lower cap come too close to touching the front of this manifold. If you have a distributor that has bails that hold on the lower cap, it takes a lot of grinding on either the intake or distributor for the distributor to actually set all the way down and be able to be adjusted.

Must be a casting problem or just bad design. Engine runs, but shouldn’t have to modify things just to run a factory duraspark distributor.

I use this to make car go. Better fuel mileage than my 8. 2 super vic single-plane intake running the same Street Demon carb, but slightly (very slightly) less power off the line. Lots of places with lots of folks will tell you to stay away from Weiand and get an Edelbrock due to manifold-to-head bolt hole material letting loose on Weiands? Not here.

Plenty of surface material, and with new felpro’s and my own torque pattern in 7 passes from contact up to 36 ft-lbs, this thing does not warp, leak, lose seal, or anything else the fanboys would have you spend more money for.

Got a 4-barrel and a street 351W? Get this intake.

I read the absolute joke of a review and thought I should make one that is an actual review and not a clown crying about decorations for his toolbox. The listing tells you what gasket to buy. I have never seen a manifold include intake gaskets unless it’s a kit.

Know what you are buying, pay for quality and be happy.

Great intake with a nice power band (1500-6500). Yes, the Chinese knock off (Crosswinds, etc. ) are cheaper but, this American made intake is machined CORRECTLY and FITS! If you need an intake for your magnum style engine/heads, this is the intake you want (#7577).

It will NOT bolt to LA style heads. there is a different part number for that intake. Last but not least, I had a hard time finding nice bolts to bolt this intake down with. Eventually found that the required bolts are 5/16 x 2.

25″. and are used on SOME (not all) small block Fords. ARP makes a nice polished stainless set of bolts (part number 454-2103) that work perfectly!.

Absolutely love this intake manifold! Use it on all my Mopar Small Block Magnums that have been converted to carb with this intake. The intake bolt angle on LA motors are on an angle with the head, this is what really sets LA and Magnum V8’s apart from each other, for Magnums have a vertical intake bolt angle.

Wouldn’t use any other intake!.

This is a great manifold. I looked at the crosswinds and the other knockoff and found they were lacking in many areas. In the end, I opted for the one I know works AND I am supporting American labor and American companies.

Say what you like, but this is how we became great to begin with. Edelbrock hit this one out of the park.

Glad I got one of these while they were still in stock and not back ordered for months. Looks great, goes on good. I put this on a freshly rebuilt 454 with stock 781 truck heads. I did this while it was out of the truck, on a stand, which makes it a lot easier to get bolts started, etc.

I don’t know if it makes much a difference performance wise but I love the fact that it is very light weight compared to the stock manifold. Used the Edelbrock gaskets and manifold bolts. Threads for plugs are good and clean so easy stuff there.

Was a little worried about the gap on the ends in the middle but followed the standard advice of RTV gasket maker to seal these up and so far all good.

Looks good. Excellent intake. Went on as it was supposed to I think. My only issue is it came with nothing. Just the intake in a box. No packing or instructions it was sliding around in the box. I dont know if it was supposed to come with any hardware or port plugs but nothing.

Not that I want them but I am surprised it did not even come with a edelbrock sticker. I gave it only 4 on ease of install because of lack of directions. If there was a rating section for packaging I would give it a poor I dont know how it arrived intact.

I bought this for my 496 and notice some of the sand casting up front could be better. Almost like this intake was seconds. I bought the same Intake manifold 4-5 years back for another big block and it had better appearing casting.

I got the intake in the box, open it up and it had dents in the aluminium. The water pump bypass fitting did NOT want to go into its proper hole in the intake manifold. Keep in mind that both parts came from Edelbrock directly.

I was disappointed the product wasnt as expected since I always held edelbrock in the highest esteem.

Overall, good product. However, the fit was a little off. The front of the manifold was about 1/4 inch too short in the area covered by the gasket end seals. This left less than 1/4 inch of overlap between the manifold and the block.

I hope the rtv seals it. The rear end seal area was perfect, as were the sides.

Edelbrock 2166 – I have 69 T_bird with 429, 7.0, the Intake manifold dimensions are equal in height compared to the original.

Great product, I have not had a chance to install it yet. Update 4/5/22 I installed the manifold but have not installed the engine yet, my old one still runs strong.

There is not very many intakes for the SBF that breath like this intake. The design is everything. On the quality end though I think for the money spent Edelbrock should be producing far better castings than this.

The one I recieved was rough in several places, including some thread areas. I could even tell where they poured the casting from and cut off the excess because those 2 spots are extremely rough.

Bolted on to my 85 firebird. No issues with fitment. Did lots of measuring and figuring before ordering. With a Holley sniper efi and short air cleaner of less then 2” carb to top offset it barely clears my hood.

Much nicer throttle response and fantastic look.

Love the performance and Edelbrock makes a solid product. Did have a little installation issue though, It has a very thick base on it and it physically wouldn’t fit in the valley. The bottom outside edge of the manifold base would hit the head.

Called Edelbrock tech and it was recommended to grind a 45 degree chamfer on the bottom edge of the base for clearance. That did work fine, just seems funny to take a grinder to a brand new manifold.

It replaced an old Performer manifold that fit perfectly but had a much thinner base, and I’m running World S/R Torquer heads. They did say it would fit fine with Edelbrock heads.

casting is poor quality. after 2 pulls with car intake gasket blew out pumped engine full of water. had drill out bolts holes with half inch bit. had to mill around 5 bolt holes so bolt would pull down flush against intake.

intake fits good now. took to race last night did good still pulls hard at 6500 rpm. it performs well i would look just at these things before installed. iv built engines for 20 years never had any problems with edelbrock intakes till now.

they just not what use to be. had nearly same problems with my friends vic jr. its like the past year they have went down hill. hopefully they take care of what ever problem there are having.

I purchased this manifold so that I could put a Holley on the 283 in my 55 Chevy. Specifically, I wanted this manifold so that I could retain the stock valve covers. The manifold is well built, looks good, and installed easily.

Overall I would buy another one if you need a manifold with an oil fill tube. The only negative I have is with the oil fill tube cap. The cap only presses on about 1/2 the distance of the stock oil fill cap, Every time I pop the hood the cap is loose and on the verge of falling off.

I simply used the old cap and the problem was solved, but this should be taken into consideration.

Changed my stock intake and carb to this 2703 and the 1906 carb, oh yeah!!! Big pickup in torque. My 1968 chevy c20 has never been so happy! She finally is breathing the way that she should. Able to pull the hills with very little throttle.

Very impressed.

I bought this in November 2018 during the online sale. I installed it with only minor modification to my engine heads. 1st day – Had to remove/grind 2 pins/dowels flush on the heads to dry fit it in.

Used an engine hoist to remove the old intake and thankfully I did because of the weight of the original intake. It weighed a lot. Installed new intake without the engine hoist with valley pan and a bead of grey gasket maker instead of the black gasket provided.

Torqued bolts per specs. Allowed to dry and set for at least 3 days since I needed to finish the install. 2nd day – Installed Holley 600 CFM 4 barrel carb. Installed transmission kick down cable and relocated carb spring.

3rd day – Installed new brake booster line to intake. Installed new inline fuel filter and then cranked it up. This is a great upgrade to my 351m engine. I thought there was a bent rod but it was actually a leak on the back end driver’s sided intake gasket.

What a difference in power and performance. Still can’t get over the difference in the performance of the engine.

Ports are oval and match 2v head port shape a little better than the performer. The ports are also about 0. 25” taller than performer and about 1/16 wider. As mentioned in other reviews the OEM cylinder head intake gasket alignment dowels will need to be flush or the intake drilled.

Comes with 3/4” pipe plug for coolant port.

Boils and bubbles in the cast. Made in China stamp on the bottom. Mill processes were uncleaned with sharp aluminum shavings still attached in all of the taps. Appeard to have no attempt at deburring.

A cheesy “Weiand” text on top does not resemble the old fashioned block letter logo that is still on all of the printed material included with the intake. Item recieved was not the quality I expected or advertised.

I gave it a 2star because I have not decided yet if I will install so I cannot base this review on its performance or fitment yet.

Intake could use a little more space between carbs also fitech units need to be mounted backwards due to electrical wiring behind main unit hits distributor cap. Casting was pretty rough

The casting on this manifold is a joke. I only have photos of one side since the other side is just a mirror image. The colored areas show how far off the ports are from the gaskets. Now I imagined I would have to do some grinding to get it just right, but this is stupid how far off the port casting is.

Port 1 will need over an 1/8″ of epoxy to be correct. Same on the other side with port 8. You can see port 7 is alright so I can’t justify shifting the manifold around. Same for port 2 on the other side.

Port 4 needs almost a 1/4″ ground off one side. Then about an 1/8″ of epoxy on the other side to match up. Compared my intake gaskets to the Aluminum Edelbrock heads on the engine (400B), and with the old 452 heads that were on it.

The gaskets match up almost perfect on either type of head with no port work. Everything else about the manifold looks fine so this just upsetting. The amount of work this thing needs doesn’t come close to justifying the price.

I am not using it, and I’m not buying anything else from this company.

Excellent product. Fit great on my old school 350. Definitely more torque in both low and high end.

I loved how easy it was to install without any issues on my 400 small block! Noticed more power.

The performance and price of this intake cant be beat. Works excellent with my E street heads and torker cam.

The manifold looks good and fits good. But don’t use the Felpro gasket FEL-1275 they call for. It does not cover the center top bolt holes. Of course i found this out after it was all glued up and installed.

Use FEL-1211.

Needed an intake for my 351w Wanted a performer but not available due to edelbrock moving So decided to get the weiand stealth After receiving i noticed they drilled the carb stud mounting holes right through into the runners also the intake bolt bosses are 1/4 in taller on drivers side of intake so i had to use 2-1/4 bolts on one side and 2 in on the other called holley about the issue they said use thread sealer on the carb studs.

I said why drill the holes beyond 1/2 in how about not drilling into the runners decent intake just poor machine work.

The intake manifold is light and easy to install – this was the first ‘mechanic-like’ job I have done on my 66 Mustang, and it was very straight-forward. I purchased all the parts as per the ‘kit’ option, however during installation I realised the heater hose fitting from my my old intake manifold was too small for this manifold.

Overall, though, an excellent product.

The cast-in letters are bad, looks like a copy of a copy. The machined surfaces look perfect again. Fits perfectly on my 289 engine. Test run currently not possible because there is a lot of snow on the roads.

Let’s see how the car runs in the spring.

this is an excellent intake manifold in combination with a summit 500 cfm carb.perfect

Awesome! all factory brackets bolted up and looks beautiful used on my 90 c1500 for tbi to carb swap

fits correctly on ’93 chevy 350 heading for a 1956 chevy 3200 swap

This is a nice intake nothing wrong with it but before you install check in the runners make sure you don’t have the dirt when they first cast the intake because I found some in the runners and if I wouldn’t known I could of damaged my block letting it be known for whoever wants to purchase this intake.

Bought a chevelle ten years ago that the owner installed a sbc 400, roller cam & rockers, victor Jr manifold and a Holley 4150 carb. It always ran ok but was hard to start and idled poorly even after tuning for altitude.

This new manifold/carb combo worked wonders right out of the box. Since it starts so easy and idles so smooth now, I’ll have to fight the wife over who’s going to drive now. She was afraid of it before.

Thanks!.

If you don’t have the cash to go super charger or turbo then this might be the ticket. Let your engine breath with this big 4 barrel sitting on this intake and watch heads turn. It’s a good set up for extra horse power and it looks amazing sitting on top of your small block.
