BBK 4.6 2V intake set for production

[Pwr_by_FORD]

Just read through the March issue of 5.0 mustangs & FF. There's an article titled "early warning" about new BBK performance parts(page 130-137).

BBK says that they will release an all aluminum 4.6L intake, similar to their newest 5.0L intake in the summer of '04. The preliminary price is set at $599.

Don't know if this is old news or not, but I think that it's great to see another intake that will compete with the Fox Lake P-51, at 1/2 the price

Hopefully this will mean more affordable intakes in the near future

sweet, i'll have to go get it from upstairs & read up on that

 

[road rage]

Yeah the p-51 is way to expensive

 

[hognutz]

I hope this happens. I would love to do a cam and intake swap this summer.

 

[DC-GT]

Oh please hurry, lol. I would love to see more lower intakes out!

I remenber huge debate over price on intake, which i think was p-51. Nice i'm sure, but over 1000bucks is just insane. Now, 600 bucks, I'll do!

damn it,why does BBK have to do it. I hate BBK products. I hope its a higher quality than other BBK products I have dealt with.

600 dollars doenst seem too bad, lets just pray it actually performs.

Yea, they are not my first choice either...But if BBK manages to produce an intake that rivals the Fox Lake for 1/2 the cost, you will have to believe that other companies will follow suit and make more affordable intakes

definitely. is there any truth to the rumor that C&L is working on one as well?

 

[claytucc3]

IF I wasn't getting a Kenne Bell I would be pretty damn excited about it also. I have nothing but good luck and experiences with BBK which is also Edelbrock

Wasn't the P-51 price so high partially because it included other necessary hardware like new fuel rails and such?

All I have heard are rumors too

The $1299 kit comes with fuel rails, gaskets and hardware.The bare Manifold is still $999. I don't know who would but just the manifold without the proper fuel rails and hardware???

I pray this becomes a trend. Maybe finaly the 4.6 aftermarket will start getting realistic.

 

[TJs98GT]

sounds good to me, ill pick one up when i see it hit shelves and when i hear some more about it, including dyno graphs, match that with the accufab TB and plenum and ur talking probably a good 15-20 hp, is there articles about this online anywhere? im interested to see the design and if its gunna be a composite plastic material or some kind of metal

 

[DBMSTNG]

this would kick so much ass!

 

[LS2 KLR]

I'm really looking forward to buying one of the new intakes!

 

[bowens99GT]

whats the newer 5.0 one look like so we can look at something similar to what it'll be?

 

[WOT]

As long as it looks better then the P-51. I personally like the look of the stock piece better.

I know the P-51 adds like 30hp but the looks suck. For $1000+ on an intake I want it too look like $1000. You know what I mean?

can someone scan the page from 5.0Mustang&FF?

who cares about looks. you race with the hood down.


god, if this is true, (PLEASE BE TRUE!!!) this'll change things, big time. Fox lake will have to get realistic on their pricing if they want to make their investment back. Man, if there is an affordable intake for us, this means all our other mods will start working that much better as well. TB's, CAI's, exhaust, nitrous puddling will be reduced....please be true!!
