If you are talking about a manifold for an EFI 304 (ie not a VK-VL carbied 304) try one of the Hardiman/Redline manifolds. I used a single plane Redline (Highwinder?) on a standard VP engine and it was a dog - the combo of the big heads and single plane were not great especially in a big heavy HZ 4x4 auto. That was on petrol or LPG. It was a much better street engine with standard red engine with dual plane manifold. So if it were me Id be looking to a Redline dual plane, unless you are building a 350 stroker but even then Id still use a dual plane for a street car.

you are wasting your time with cheap ebay manifolds, Dont buy one...
As far as the redline single goes, i have one on my 350 +0.030 holden engine, it runs 11.3 in a 1560kg car, and i can happily sit in traffic, or lope along at 1800rpm.
0 to 60mph in under 4 seconds so it cant be too bad...
On a 304 however id probably look for a decent dual plane manifold and 600cfm holley unless you are looking for performance at the expense of driveability.

Do they make a dual plane one though?

This is the one I used, and as Greenhj says it would probably be OK on a 350. http://www.redlineauto.c...12-116?category=PBPGTNQM_______________________________________________________ If we all had the same (good) taste, who would buy all the Fords? |

You always get what you pay for. People are probably guilty of thinking a manifold is a simple casting and that a cheap one would work fine, but its not the case if you want it to work to its potential.
Like previously posted, a dual plane will be a much better option in a street motor. Redline are very reputable, as are Torquepower. |
