intake manifold
On my 351, the egr plate has been welded closed (it has a carb, the end facing the firewall) and most of the vacuum hoses have been plugged. All that remains are the essentials i guess, brake booster, vacuum advance, couple others that im not sure of. Would i be better off getting an aftermarket intake, do they make 'em that do away with all the extra vacuum stuff and egr plate? The engine is stock with 4 barrel carb.
Theres also a little flap thing that goes on the intake, dirver side, beside valve cover, it has a flap that sits in the intake and controls flow of something, well it has been removed also, just a plate covering hole up. So basically my question is, since everything has been removed, do i need to bother with getting a different manifold. If so, what kind would you recommend. It would be a street application with a stock 351ho. Thx for all your help, sorry so long!!!!!!!!

Do you have to get a new intake manifold... no. Will a different one improve performance... yes!

I'd change the intake manifold and carb(if stock motocraft). It definetly makes a very nice difference in performance on a stock motor.

You could easily find an intake, and more than likely there wouldn't be a problem, but sometimes you get screwed. So with that said, I would go new since they aren't extremely expensive.

Thing with a used intake manifold is some could have cracked it just a lil bit from overtightening. It could have overheated and warped and now needs to be machined. These are all things you really can't tell from the naked eye. So it really is buyer beware on this one.

Re: intake manifold
I would suggest Edelbrock's Performer intake, and a Edelbrock 500cfm Performer carb. You should expect to spend around $250 for a carb and about $150 for an intake. Good luck.

 What was I thinking? Stop listening to me. Listen to 351.... I was thinking that it was a late model, like in his avatar. Like he said, go edelbrock performer. Geeez....
