Manifold spacers?
 
I currently have standard deck 454's and available to me is a set of intake manifolds and blowers. The only problem is that they are for a tall deck. 10.200. Do they make spacers or could I have them milled? What else would I have to change? If I use spacers, would I have to change my distributor? Thanks

Wy,dont u just get intakes for standart block and sell the ones for the tall deck ?????
:rolleyes:

The tall deck manifolds are thicker on the head mounting flange than the short decks. So you need to remove material rather than put spacers in.
If you had tall deck blocks and short deck manifolds then spacers would solve your problem.

You could mill them or sell them and buy the correct ones like DD says. Might be a better route to go.

Hope this helps.

Better to buy the short deck intakes. Save yourself a lot of grief.John

I also agree with John.....buy the correct intake. If you need pricing and help with selection Please contact me. I am a WD for all. Thanks!
