never was a Ford fanatic, but i remember an aluminum single plane manifold for a SBF that looked horrible, very straight runners..etc.."torker" i think
A real POS - Except for the "Streetmaster" series of intakes.
I ran a Torker 289 back in the day... I ported it, and had the crossover welded. With factory heads, it seemed to work really well. I later tried a Torker II, and that thing was a DUD! Eventually went to a Victor Jr, and sold the old Torker to a guy who put it on his Mustang II. Picked up quite a bit at the track over the dual plane he had on it.
The Weiand 7515 'Accelerator' won some intake shootouts on fairly mild SBF combos, and it's pretty much the same thing as the Torker 289.
I'm not saying that it is a great racing intake compared to what is available now... especially since aftermarket heads came out... but back in the day, we didn't even have a Victor Jr. lol Things have come a LONG way since the 1980's in the Ford world!
