What are the engine dimensions of a 430? I didn't see any listed in the FAQ section. Also, was there a 4V intake made? I saw some 3x2s but would rather have a 4V if they were made.

thanks,

I don't have the exact size specifications on the MEL, but it is approximately the size (a little larger) than the FE (390). It weighs 740# as compared to the FE at approx. 650#.

The 3x2 was a very limited option in the first year of production and what you will find mainly will be 4V cast iron intakes.

As soon as I find a size comparison chart (FORD lists everything but the MEL) I will post it.
