This article started my journey

Still uses a GT intake. It would be fun to see someone with a 350 motor swap a GT intake mani!

Did you see it uses cross plane crank too. GT350 manifold was designed around flat plane crank

Link no work

No it wasn't. It's the same general architecture as the GT IM. The FPC's up down up down piston orientation was chosen over the traditional up down down up, due to the design of the intake manifold.

Yes, no re tune. Just he swap

Very nice.

I wonder how well this would work with FRPP2...

Wonder how the F-150 manifold would do when ported, and with a ported throttle body. Also if there is any head room for VCT tuning to get it at least up to 6500 without loosing to a stock manifold, it seems very similar to the GT350 design. Makes you wonder if the 2018 GT uses this f-150 manifold or a GT350 manifold since the redline is raised to 7500.

VCT doesn't dictate peak power for an intake manifold, runner length does. RPM's are power, lowering the RPM's lowers power potential.

I can't wait to tune this setup!!!! If I can get rid of the valleys in the curve now this could be a real power builder !!

First off I know difference between Cross plane and flat plane crank. Ford design of Flat plane crank is different over others like Ferrari especially intake manifold. Ferrari has 2 intakes and treats engine like two 4 cyls. I even know about 2 different designs of V8 Flat plane crank

If that was completely true then no need for GT350 manifold just use GT intake manifold with bigger opening.

Usually long runner length was for torq but hurt power in up RPM. Short runner hurt low end power and great upper end RPM. Just look at Dual plane vs Single plane intake manifold for pushrod 302

Look at the dual plane Performer RPM.. one if not the best street intake on the market, beating out almost all single planes.

I was talking about runner length in something that shown it. I'm not talking about which one did better that can turn into hugh debate. That shouldn't be talked about in this forum and there are many other forums for this. But personally I think Weiand Stealth better but that was with my 347.

My comment was indeed in fact about runner length. Shorter runners don't necessarily mean higher horsepower.
