"Hello, Wilson Manifolds. I have another intake for you..."

IMO, TF really should have made the 240 head as a raised runner head....... If for no other reason than to get away from the std bathtub gasket.

I suppose there is an argument to keep them std port height to fit under low hoods, but I feel like the raised std port configuration would be a nice option.

I think if you made your own flat valley plate, and then used some "cut to fit" gaskets like what Hughes sells, and then raised the roof of the port opening as much as the TF or SV intake would facilitate....... You would bridge the performance gap between the 240 and 270 heads.

Thanks AndyF, Any word if TF will ever offer a matching intake for the 270s?

I agree. I think a raised standard port runner in the extended face 270 casting would be a great head for 470 or smaller engines. The raised runner would make more power than the standard location head but a person would be able to use a standard port intake.

Any before and after shots that show just how much work went into that intake? Looks like modern art now instead of an car part.

Here is the view down the plenum. Wilson extended two of the runner dividers into the plenum and then fully ported and polished everything.
