Car Forum / Ford / Ford Mustang / October 2006Question: Edelbrock manifold
My '71 Grande has an Edelbrock Performer LB 351-4V manifold. What does the "LB" stand for? mike > My '71 Grande has an Edelbrock Performer LB 351-4V > manifold.

It is, after all, just a hunk of aluminum. mike >> My '71 Grande has an Edelbrock Performer LB 351-4V >> manifold. What does the "LB" stand for?

Now... and this is just an off the wall kinda thing... did it ever occur to you that if somebody is gonna know, it will probably be http://www.edelbrock.com/ > My '71 Grande has an Edelbrock Performer LB 351-4V > manifold.

Fortunately, these old cars don't need smog tests anymore. Anyone know why? mike > Now... and this is just an off the wall kinda thing... did it ever occur > to you that if somebody is gonna know, it will probably be [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >> >> mike >Been there, thanks.

With few exceptions, I have had very good results by asking direct questions of a wide range of companies and subjects. >>Been there, thanks.

Edelbrock did reply to my email. Stands for "Low Deck". Now I need to research what that means. Thanks for the reply mike >>>Been there, thanks.

Just a wild guess, but looking through my Edelbrock catalog for LB or lb, most of the 351 manifolds require a Lokar bracket if you have Ford automatic overdrive in your transmission. >>>>Been there, thanks.

Just a thought, But if they said "low deck" that could refer to the installed carb heigth in relation to stock heigth for clearance. After all the 351W is about 2.3 inches taller approx.assembled in clearance when dressed the same as a 302 > Just a wild guess, but looking through my Edelbrock catalog for LB or lb, > most of the 351 manifolds require a Lokar bracket if you have Ford automatic [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] > >> > > So call them. They should have an 800 number. the early 351w engine had a slightly lower deck height than later 351w's for more compression. deck height refers to the height of the block or cylinders This engine is a Cleveland and has the quenched compression heads, (10.7:1 CR) so that makes a lot of sense. > the early 351w engine had a slightly lower deck height than later > 351w's for more compression. deck height refers to the height of the > block or cylinders LB for "low deck "makes sense then because the 351C has a shorter block(deck height) than the 351w I replaced the original air cleaner with your basic 14" round bonnet. It came with a 3" tall filter which would not fit under the hood. Had to go to a 1.5" filter. There is a spacer block between the manifold and carb. On a different tangent, what is the purpose of the spacer block? > Just a thought, But if they said "low deck" that could refer to the > installed carb heigth in relation to stock heigth for clearance. After [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >> automatic >> overdrive in your transmission. |
