Does anyone know of an after market ford 3.8L 4 barrel carburetor manifold? I know of the 2bbl manifolds, but the buick 231 has after market and stock 4bbl's, any ford's? If this does not go in this section than please move to which ever one fits better, thanks.

$1000! for a stinking manifold?!? Wow. It's not even a dual plane! They are smoking something, but thanks anyways. At least there's one.

EDIT: Morana has the same manifold for $450. why the extreme mark up supersix???

I am not defending the pricing, rather answering the question--
the parts are made in small volume by each company and therefore economies of scale come into play.
the Morana part and the Supersix part are not the same.


All other things being equal, you will probably make less power and torque and get worse fuel economy with a carburetor compared to EFI. If this is for a 94-04 Mustang then the car will not pass any kind of emissions test with a carburetor.

Thank you all for the info. No I'm not planning on going to a carb. I have a stock buick 231 4bbl intake in my garage and have never seen a Ford 232 4bbl manifold and did not know if they existed.

I am still planning on going either the M90 route, or the T3 in my garage, but I don't have the money right now. Thanks for the info guys :thumbup:

BTW, no emissions here.
