Edelbrock 4.6 Modular Intake Manifold

Not just a rumor anymore-Edelbrock has made news with its 4.6L Ford modular V-8 carbureted intake. Fresh from the skunkworks, the intake looks promising, but specifics are still shrouded in mystery. It should be a popular item, and we expect to see it all over the place as it will allow the 4.6 owner to simplify engine swaps by eliminating the stock EFI. As of this writing, the intake isn't available yet, and there's no direct word from Edelbrock on pricing. However, by the time you read this, the part should be priced and available.

Horse Power Sales Valley Girdle

Horse Power Sales has engineered an affordable engine valley girdle for Ford 385-series 429 or 460 engines. The Valley Girdle Pro adds stability and strength in the engine lifter valley, reinforcing the block against twisting and cylinder-bore distortion. Bore distortion can cause excessive cylinder-wall friction, leading to engine failure. You'll also find a horse-power gain as a result of reduced internal operating friction. As far as durability is concerned, recent testing done with the Valley Girdle Pro shows a two-bolt 460 surviving 7,500 rpm without prob-lems. The 460 girdle costs $269. Valley Girdle Pros are available for FE and small-blocks.

At PRI, icengineworks displayed a small-block Ford, with its line of precision exhaust-header 3D modeling systems installed on it. They're a modular design tool made from plastic snap-together 1-inch sections used to develop tubular header systems for almost any internal combustion engine. Snap the sections together to create your custom tube header with equal-length primaries. Even step-header designs are possible. Once modeled, you can use the 3D modeling system to fabricate your own system by matching the bends, or glue the tubes together to make a jig for multipiece jobs. The V-8 kit prices start at $1,250 for the 240-piece set.
