NEW BBK SSI on our 347

We finally refreshed the 89'er with a sweet 347 and used the new BBK SSI intake.

IMO -
  • not a bad setup, a bit pricey even at wholesale, looks nice too!
  • comes now with their 75mm TB and crappy gaskets for upper
  • instructions are somewhat vague - Ford guys always survive this
  • NOTE - definately requires throttle bracket mod with tall V/Covers
  • you will also have to find a new home for large harness connections
  • they offer a heat reducing spacer, new #1530 - hard to buy still

Note Needed the relocation on the BAP and main harness to FI harness connectors. Also, had to hack away at the throttle bracket with our taller covers. If BBK had there act together, we could have a heat spacer under the upper and this would not have been a problem area. This is part #1530 --- should have taken (stolen) it from their trailer at the NMRA meet in Bradenton, hah!

Nice fuel rails do come with the intake (no leaks) and the 75mm TB is a good size air funnel. You can use their FPR, of coarse --- the hole enchilada.

Here we have a pretty complete article. Our car is my son's daily driver with intentions of keeping the OE block in one piece at 6000 rpm's. This package seems to continue pulling strong --- torquey bi-zitch! BTW - He likes "how it looks". Good kid, when he's happy ... Hah!

I had one of those once.

It SUCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry.

watch out for sucking up oil thru PCV due
to BBK's strange baffle or lack of baffle i guess

and BBK said they do make a spacer
