SBF 289/302 Intake Manifold - Single Plane

The SBF 289/302 Intake Manifold - Single Plane is a precision-engineered aluminum component designed for Small Block Ford engine platforms, delivering optimized air-fuel distribution for both street and performance applications. Built to exact OEM specifications, this single-plane intake manifold serves rebuilders, engine shops, and enthusiasts who demand reliable, bolt-on compatibility without compromise. Whether you're restoring a classic Ford or upgrading an existing powerplant, this manifold provides the foundation for consistent cylinder filling and efficient combustion across the RPM band.

Manufactured from lightweight aluminum in a natural finish, the single-plane design promotes rapid air velocity and reduces fuel separation, enhancing throttle response and reducing warm-up enrichment requirements. The square-bore configuration ensures seamless integration with factory and aftermarket carburetors, while the compact footprint (14.5 x 7 x 24 inches) minimizes installation obstacles in tight engine bays. At 19 pounds, the weight penalty is negligible compared to cast-iron alternatives, while the thermal properties of aluminum support consistent operating temperatures and reduce under-hood heat buildup during extended driving or track use.

This manifold is ideal for Small Block Ford 289 and 302 cubic-inch engines, fitting a broad range of 1960s–1980s applications including Mustangs, Fairlanes, F-Series trucks, and mid-size sedans. Direct bolt-on installation requires no modifications to cylinder heads or carburetor mounts, making it a time-efficient upgrade for engine builders and restorers. Verify your specific engine block and carburetor type before purchase to ensure proper fitment and sealing surface compatibility.
