Polished Aluminum High Rise Intake Manifold for Small Block Ford 289 302 Windsor

This high rise single plane air gap intake manifold from Certified Automotive Experts is engineered for Small Block Ford Windsor engines where high RPM performance and consistent airflow are priorities.

Designed for carbureted 289 and 302 cubic inch applications, this intake features an open plenum air gap layout that helps isolate the intake runners from engine heat. By reducing heat transfer from the engine valley, the design supports cooler intake air temperatures and more stable performance during aggressive driving and sustained high RPM operation.

The single plane, high rise configuration is optimized for engines that operate primarily above low RPM cruising ranges. With an effective operating window of approximately 3500 to 8000 RPM, this intake is well suited for performance street builds, street strip combinations, hot rods, muscle cars, and naturally aspirated competition focused setups.

A square bore 4 barrel carburetor flange supports common 4150 and 4160 style carburetors, making it compatible with widely used carbureted Small Block Ford performance systems. The open plenum layout supports higher airflow demand at elevated engine speeds and complements engines built with camshaft and cylinder head combinations designed for top end power.

The polished aluminum construction delivers a clean, high end appearance that enhances exposed engine bays and show oriented builds. Unlike unfinished or raw castings, the polished surface adds visual refinement without affecting fitment or performance.

This intake manifold is designed for standard deck height Small Block Ford Windsor engines only. It does not fit Boss 302 applications, EFI based intake systems, or engines requiring EGR provisions. Carburetor, gaskets, and mounting hardware are not included unless otherwise stated.

Certified Automotive Experts offers this intake as a straightforward performance focused solution, marketed on verified construction, intended RPM range, and real world application rather than branding comparisons or inflated claims.
