302 Ford manifold selection
I'm building a 306 CI engine that will rev to at least 7800 rpm.
The original, funnel web is out, because they are unavailable (shoot me a message if you have one). So, I would like opinions and dyno results, if you have them, on the 4830 AFR, Super Victor and the Trick Flow TFS-52400111 manifolds.
The heads flow 280+ cfm and the carb with be a Holley 850 DP. Also, the intake port measures 2.16 x 1.3.
Thank you for any help.

Working on an AFR intake on a set of their 205 heads.
Be a while though. A lot on my plate to finish up first.

"Quality" is like buying oats. You can pay a fair price for it and get some good quality oats,
or you can get it a hell of a lot cheaper, when it's already been through the horse.

Re: 302 Ford manifold selection
Thank you, Ed. I'll be looking forward to your results.
Mine won't be together and running, until Spring but, I'd like to order a manifold before that.
I like AFR, a lot but, all that I listed have been related to be as good choices. I probably couldn't go wrong with any of the 3 but, dyno results are the best indicator.

You could always call and see if this Funnel Web is available

Re: 302 Ford manifold selection
Those are Chicom knock-offs...
The real ones don't have the tapped hole in the rear runner.
They also have "Funnel Web" on the runner, not the water cross over.

Re: 302 Ford manifold selection
I've been schooled on Funnel Webs by, JDC so, I know what to look for. They have to have a Aussie emblem on the bottom.
If you look at the Ebay one, you'll see how rough and uneven the plenum is. The runners are said to be the same and some have spots that leak fuel.

Re: 302 Ford manifold selection
Sorry about that! I completely forgot about the writing on the runner. Thanks for the refresher. I'll keep my eyes open for an authentic one. It's been a while since I've looked for one so I forgot what I was looking for.

Re: 302 Ford manifold selection
We bought a Funnelweb from Big Joe in 2012, which he had received from Terry Parker to evaluate. He rubbed on it some and dynoed it vs. a similarly prepared Super Victor. He said the FW initially had the edge by ~ 10 HP but a 1" spacer on the SV brought it up to par. (it didn't help the FW) We had it on a road race 306" with 185 cc CNC TrickFlow heads and a Jones solid roller. We dynoed to 8,000 and it hadn't quite peaked yet. After the stock block split, we built a 380" Dart with the same heads and manifold plus a bit more cam. With that combo it peaked at 7,800 RPM with 570 WHP.frnkeore wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 3:03 pm I'm building a 306 CI engine that will rev to at least 7800 rpm.

Thank you for any help.
BTW, allegedly some of the knock-offs are not too bad; just a little gnarly in the runners. (Others are like a copy of a copy of a fax...)

Re: 302 Ford manifold selection
Bill, thank you for that info.
I had heard that the earlier (8-10 yrs ago) chi copy's were very close to the original FW's but, these later ones are basically, very inferior.
Have you ever talked to anyone that has used the TF, R manifold?

how much taller is a FW over the SV and Vic JR?

Re: 302 Ford manifold selection
I once had a dammed near new off a salvage engine F4B dual plane intake.
I didn't even have any ID on it and looked to have never been ground on.
How would it do on a hopped up 306?
It was a, "muscular", looking intake!! I sold it to my nephew and it sits on the floor of his shop, go figure... In fact he has a rebuilt 302 that sits on an engine stand and has for longer than I can remember.. That's why I sold it to him..

Re: 302 Ford manifold selection
I like the odd stuff too. Been looking at this thing sitting around here for a long time. Eventually, might do something with it.pdq67 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 10, 2020 2:43 pm I once had a dammed near new off a salvage engine F4B dual plane intake.
