new ford efi intake
Kaase p-38 cross-ram efi. [www.mooregoodink.com]
I can't find the price on this unit, but it doesn't matter as I know I'm not gonna be able to afford it. But how cool would this look under the hood of an mgb??? Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 02/20/2013 02:56PM by mgbreis. |

Re: new ford efi intake
Looks cool & I looked at their web site... but I still don't see any sort of throttle control. What am I missing.

Re: new ford efi intake
The throttle shafts are vertical (with linkage hidden below), so all you can see in the photo above are bearing bosses except for a throttle position sensor atop the furthest away (#8) runner. I wouldn't be surprised if they left some of the linkage off for the sake of a prettier picture. It certainly is a pretty picture!

Looks good, too bad they ran out of funding, and had to paint the rocker covers, in Red Oxide. Wrinkle finish is just slightly more. roverman.

Re: new ford efi intake
Jim Inglese may have one of his cross rams left. Last time I checked it was $5295.00 including the manifold, carbs, and linkage. Supposed to be ready to run out of the box.
Mooneyes has the manifold only for $595 - [www.mooneyesusa.com] You'd still need to source the carbs (not cheap) and come up with a linkage but I actually seriously considered this at one point. You may be able to bolt up the Weber look alike EFI units that are available. Sure would be sweet to see. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 02/25/2013 06:14AM by DC Townsend. |

Re: new ford efi intake
So Art, des that eBay price include the RedLine computer? If it does, that's actually not that bad. $1600 worth of "carbs" and another $600 for the manifold. This is the guy I was thinking of for the throttle bodies:[www.efihardware.com]

Re: new ford efi intake
David's mooneyeusa link says $895. They must have noticed an up-tick in the number of hits on that page so raised the price!??!!??!

Re: new ford efi intake
Rob, Mooney's intake manifold looks quite a bit different than the top Kaase intake manifold. The Kaase I/M seems to be strictly developed for electronic fuel injection; my thoughts.

Re: new ford efi intake
Rob, too funny. Must have seen the number wrong though, even a $895, it doesn't seem too out of line.

Re: new ford efi intake
Agree - $600 would be better but even $895 isn't bad. Other than the EFI kits that use a regular intake and carb looking throttle body, this is the first set up for the ford that I like the look of. I'm still holding out for the prices to come down a bit. When I do switch over I want both efi and distributorless timing control.

Re: new ford efi intake
I wonder if it would improve the under hood clearance any? Seems like it should. BTW, when I looked at something similar about 6-7 years ago, the price was $1200 from an Australian outfit that was offering them. I think the Mooney intake is a relatively recent offering.

Re: new ford efi intake
Probably true. That's where the rear distributor on Chevy's comes in handy so the throttle body and filter can come off the front center.

Re: new ford efi intake
Cool filter options. Something to tuck away for a future build.
