Hi all,
I'm looking for an Edelbrock pro flo XT intake manifold ED7128 (natural) or ED71283 (black) and fuel rails for 68 Mustang coupe fitted with 89 5.0 EFI roller motor.
There's nothing on E Bay now, there was a couple of months ago, Edelbrock say it's been discontinued.
I'm interested if anyone nows where one is available.
Thanks AussiePhil.
-
Yeah definitely discontinued, most likely due to the fact that they don't work with 99% of distributors. Plus hood clearance is an issue too on the foxbodies. Good luck on your search
-
Thanks Husky65, what a shame, I knew about the dizzy had to be low profile, even then they're not much shorter, I may have to use a high rise manifold with an ugly elbow, problem is I run a Vortech V3 Supercharger and don't like the cross plane standard or aftermarket manifolds available, a place in Penrith make a nice manifold but is pricey .

Mate I know exactly where you are coming from( i researched the pro flo extensively when it came out). I have an efi motor in my 65, and the stock intake is a bit of an eyesore. As I am about to put a powerdyne one(similar fitting to a vortech), I just installed a hogans fabricated intake which look a ton better. You should get a box style intake, like the trickflow r, or even a downs box. They are great for a supercharged application, and actually look alright too. On the corral forums, there are a couple downs intake boxes for sale at the moment in the windsor section.

I think they are a great manifold. Good Luck.

yeah I know the place you are talking about, I asked them about some fab work for some things I was going to get done. Good work but not cheap. Bain Racing i think

Thanks guys,
The Hogans looks great, I'll definitely look into that one.

Good luck finding one.
Ive been looking for 12mths.
Haven't found anyone in US with new old stock,
Nor anyone in US selling one second hand.( obviously anyone who has one likes it)
there was a complete kit on Craigslist a couple of weeks ago-
Brand new in box- manifold, rails,dizzy, wiring,computer etc.
$3k US
It may still be there, but i forgot which state it was- i think Pennsylvania
Maybe someone on a forum there will sell one.

AussiePhil.
If you want a NEW Hogan , hope you have deep pockets.
Around US$3.5k plus shipping and customs tax etc.
maybe you can find a second hand one.
-
Thanks for your help! Not sure what to do, but won't
be putting the ugly original one back on.

For that money I'd be doing individual throttle bodies and megasquirt.
-
Thanks Dwayne, do you mean Hillborn type induction , remember I have V3 supercharger to feed it.

Looks like the webber setup with 8 short intakes, but fuel injection.
ShaunP is currently building the setup for his car.

One of the best EFI manifolds is the TFS Box R

An option is to use the base and build your own upper - I have done this.
I have once taken a tunnel ram and converted to efi... fun.
Since you have a supercharger I would look at a SuperVic EFI manifold and use a 90deg elbow. Simple and works very well.
