In reading the posts about intakes,I notice a lot of people who,like me are on very limited budgets and looking for ways to improve performance and drivability of the older Y-block powered cars and trucks.A very low-cost mod most people never think about is one of the later Y-block 2 barrel intakes,which are plentiful and cheap.Through the 60's and 70's Ford built millions of very good 2 barrel carbs that are almost worthless at a junkyard.Add a 57-up distributor with an electronic conversion and for very little cost this mod makes a 292 or 272 run very well.

Just a thought.
