Bill,

It stuns me what prices some items are listed on ebay for.  The local market is different to the US one, we have less available, but really.  I paid $250 for my 573. I'll stick a few hundred bucks on the 553 and let ebay sort it out.

Mike,

I've heard some bad things about the carbs coming from china. Issues with the quality of the zinc I've heard. There's a Fenton 425 on ebay  http://www.ebay.com/itm/1954-62-FORD-Y-BLOCK-3X2-FENTON-DM-425-INTAKE-MANIFOLD-/170625069525?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27ba0bf1d5&vxp=mtr  pricey though at $600. Good luck looking perseverance will find what your looking for.

Cheers

Sounds like Edelbrock will have the 94s in production again and along with the carbs is a renewed interest in the Y-Block 573 intake.

We'll see how it goes.

Ted Eaton's tests of Tri Power intakes show the Edmonds/Fenton DM 425 to be a pretty good intake. It finished 2nd in both evaluations. It's down some on high end H.P. but is a bit stronger than the more popular Edelbrock 573 in low end torque. But the current e bay asking price of nearly $600 seems quite bit to high.

Yeah I have seen that same 425 listed for months and the guy has never had a nibble. Maybe just waiting for the one guy who can't live without it. I guess the key will just be waiting for one for the right price, but yes 600 is a little much for what I was thinking.
