hi shane here from down under, has anyone have a 430MEL intake manfold?? 4sale it has to be a 4 barral type, the one on it is a 2 barral & want to change it to a 4.look (FORD) to hearing from you.

What a coincidence, I was mulling our "Craigs List" over here and came across this link:

http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/pts/807566092.html

It's not me, it's in West Seattle, a couple of em for sale, 1964-65 430 or so it says. I bet the shipping would be way more than the $30 price.

When I saw the photo it led me to the following questions:

Would anyone know the intake port dimensions, height x width, for the early 4v intake (1958-59?) and the later "lower port" versions (2v 1960-62) and (4v 1963-66?)

Another measurement I would like to find is the height of each intake - the early high version and the late low version. The Edelbrock catalog calls these "A" and "B" - measured as follows: Lay a ruler across the carb face, then measure down at the front to the block face, that's "A" - and measure down at the rear to the block fact, that's "B".

If anyone could also measure "A" and "B" heights for the early and later intake I'd sure appreciate it.

thanks heaps for that info, i'll give him a call about it soon.

I have 4 or 5 extras from various core engines. I am in Southern California but don't really want to mess with shipping one of these pigs if I can help it. Hawkrod
