F460? Iron A460, kinda like an EX514 iron replacement?

No SCJ cast iron head with an A head port in it. Not raised.

Might fit the AFR too?

One intake to fit multiple platforms?

Do you know if that will work with Ford Motorsports A head?

Puller engine?

The current "spider" intake design is outdated, especially for higher rpm apps. Heads have come a long way and we're still using 70's technology for intakes. I'm hoping that one of the "smarter" intake designers is going to come on board with the BB Ford platform and give is one of his designs. He was asking me if he could cast one intake that would cover the Thor, the Profiler and maybe the C head? Bolt holes aren't a problem, just was wondering about port location? These intakes are basically finished on the inside of the plenum with the port openings at the flanges left small to fit whatever port.

Good idea. Thick flange, multi port heights. I like Chris Uratchko's 2 piece CAD drawing.

It would be something very similar to Chris' with a lot of the same thinking and attention to detail. CAD designed. Of course his question was is there really a market? I told him it would be a limited market, but yes I think there would be one.

Gary, do you have a link to Chris' idea?

If you are on crackbook.

Some of my drag race buddys use him so I see his posts.

FWIW Mark

Thanks Mark. That's a pretty cool setup.

Sorry I can't find at the moment. It was on yellow Bullet.

Anyone know what the height of this intake is? With the local class that we may run, we are limited to a 6" cowl hood and thinking this may not fit on a new combo we may build.

As far as I know it should fit any A style head that the current A style intakes fit.

Yes Gary, pulling engine

I just saw this picture on Steve Vance's Facebook page last night. I was searching A460 and it came up. I wonder if a regular dominator will fit it or if you need an adapter plate from that stretched carb pattern?

you would have to make a plate to have it fit

Would that change the fuel distribution much or would it still work with the regular dominator spacing?

Actually it has a standard dominator flange and bolt pattern in it , but cast so you can open it up . I have a picture of the advertisement from the show, You have to cut it open and drill holes for a spread dominator flange. The one in the picture had been opened up under the carb pab and holes drilled for the stretched carb.

Any word on when they'll be available?

The one above,DOES NOT HAVE A 5 3/8'' on center 4500 bolt pattern. (one at the show) It is an extended dom pattered

yes after building these kind of manifolds it does hurt them to move it inward

Are they good, reliable carbs? I've seen pictures of them but never seen one in person, and haven't done any research on them. One of the guys I race with has a pair of split dominators on a 632, they seem to work OK but there's a lot of linkage to make them work.

Correct,   I was referring to the Advertisement sheet that was stacked up in front of it that has a picture of it with a standard pattern and statement that it came with a standard pattern or could be opened up to a spread carb

I bet if you take that carb off you would see that it DOES have the on center 4500 bolt pattern. Like Brandon said, that's how they come. The one in the pic has been modified to fit the stretched Dom. The intake is cast so you can do that.

I did lift the carb off, that's how i know.

Ive never ran one of those, We have cut ,and extended out own, And yes they work great
