Description

Upgrade your Ford 429 or 460 big block with the Top Street Performance Dual Plane Intake Manifold. Designed for carbureted Ford 385-Series engine applications, this black aluminum intake manifold delivers improved airflow, strong low-end torque, and responsive mid-range power for street performance, muscle car, truck, hot rod, and street/strip builds. Whether you're upgrading a 429-powered Torino, a 460-powered F-Series truck, or a classic Ford muscle car, this intake manifold is engineered to provide the drivability and performance enthusiasts expect.

The dual-plane runner design promotes balanced airflow distribution and fuel atomization across the operating range while maintaining excellent street manners. Unlike race-oriented single-plane manifolds that focus primarily on top-end horsepower, this intake is designed to improve throttle response and torque production where street-driven vehicles spend most of their time.

Engineered for performance from idle to approximately 5,500 RPM, this intake manifold is ideal for street performance applications, towing builds, cruisers, restorations, and mild street/strip combinations. The square-bore carburetor flange supports many popular 4150-style carburetors commonly used on Ford big block performance engines.

Constructed from lightweight aluminum, the manifold helps reduce weight compared to factory cast iron intakes while improving heat dissipation. The black finish provides a clean, show-quality appearance, while the low-profile design helps improve hood clearance in many applications. Additional features include a rear water crossover and provisions designed to simplify installation on a wide range of Ford big block builds.

Whether you're building a Ford 460 street machine, upgrading a 429-powered muscle car, restoring a classic big block Ford, or improving airflow on a carbureted performance build, the TSP Dual Plane Intake Manifold delivers the torque, drivability, and classic Ford performance character enthusiasts demand.
