    Speedmaster MidRise Air Intake Manifold

    Well you can put your mind to rest now. Because you now know they are definitely made in China. It says so right on it.

    Speedmaster MidRise Air Intake Manifold

    I know it's been a while . Meant to do this several months ago. But so many people get in these forms , go on about something. Then they just leave it hanging. I didn't want to be that person. So for what it's worth, the speed master intake is a P.O.S. Ended up removing and installing it 3...

    I figured it was taken care of. But it's still up for all to see.

    Fel-Pro intake gaskets

    A far easier way of removing gaskets is using a scotchloc disc on a diegrinder. Removes everything quick and effortlessly. And leaves your rough finish. Spray with brakeclean and wipe.

    Speedmaster MidRise Air Intake Manifold

    I've got a 440 in a 79 Coachman motor home. I think the exhaust manifolds and oil pan on it would work. I'd probably have to get a flywheel and a bell housing. And if i was going to do all that id want to get new pistons and .maybe heads. It is a low compression engine. Actually the 360 and 4.88...

    Speedmaster MidRise Air Intake Manifold

    Looks like it didn't seal. Got it all together and it tried to start but kept backfiring. Found the rotor had rubbed inside the distributor cap and it was full of metal shavings. Replacing the cap and rotor helped. Now it will start and run at hjgh rpm. But it won't idle. It sounds pretty good...

    Speedmaster MidRise Air Intake Manifold

    Beats me. But i thought were talking about intakes? Either way give em some time. Everything else goes to china. I dont think any bearings are made anywhere but china. I couldnt find any. Think timken was last to go. Probably doesnt matter much for quality. Seems nobody cares about making...

    Speedmaster MidRise Air Intake Manifold

    Not hardly anything made here anymore. And they dont have to do much of anything to claim made in usa. Many times they just assemble it here. Or i got a scoup shovel that had a big sticker and a tag claiming made in usa turned it over and was stamped china. Called the manufacturer and asked...

    Speedmaster MidRise Air Intake Manifold

    Pretty sure it's going to work. Glued end seals to block with yellow 3m weatherstrip adhesive. Glued intake gaskets to heads with same. Put ultrablack at 4 corners and smeared a finger with it around waterports and across top of end seals. Torqued it down. Appears to have sealed. Just enough...

    Speedmaster MidRise Air Intake Manifold

    I could see that helping. However in this instance i dont think it would help much. With the 300A alternator in the way you cant hardly see the front of the intake. (Retired fire truck) Then add trying to balance yourself and everything else head first over the fender/grill by holding the cowl...

    Speedmaster MidRise Air Intake Manifold

    Sometimes i use end gaskets sometimes not. Ive seen issues both ways. I try to avoid any cork gasket. Never had a problem with rubber end seals. Not sure if ive seen them for a small block chrysler. I work on all makes and models. Have seen with rtv if not careful placing intake. If it doesnt go...

    Speedmaster MidRise Air Intake Manifold

    I got one of these intakes second hand. The guy i got it from has a dart he drag races. Dont know for how long but he did have it running with it. There is slight carbon buildup starting at egr port. Can also see where he ground out on a couple bolt holes. Other than that it looks out of the...

    You are correct on the title. Yet you are injecting what? Newly joined doesnt mean new to anything else. And yes i do own one of these intakes. Maybe thats why i was reading the thread? First i thought maybe you were not up to par on your knowledge of Fords. The more i hear from you im thinking...

    Speedmaster MidRise Air Intake Manifold

    That had absolutely nothing to do with my joining. Was just stating a fact. Do you always make coments about things you know nothing about?
