Mine has the EGR spacer so I could just use a piece of 1" aluminum to make an adapter and blend it all in.

The EGR spacer will work just fine. Just put on top of your adapter. You can saw off the big vacuum connection and plug it with a pipe plug. That way every thing will bolt up just like the stock intake. And look stock.
Its better to be a has-been, than a never was.

Oh ok cool, I thought it was mentioned somewhere that the EGR spacer was not a good thing maybe I misunderstood, that makes it even easier.

You need to kept in mine that you will need as much pendulum as possible. Get the carb as high as you can to do this. You may have to mill out part of the 4 ports to get a pendulum. I've seen pictures of intakes with over 1" removed. You still will need to blend the ports.

Thanks I'll make a note of that, shouldn't be hard to do.

Part already made but a bit pricey........ ......1 inch thick

http://www.powerbyace.com/Catalog%20page/Ford%202_3L%20SOHC.htm

Go down maybe 1/3 page to first listing under 'induction' section. Part #5001.

I may be the one that mentioned EGR spacer not good. I meant in the context of using it on a stock 2.3 manifold and too close to floor in that case, also I don't care for all the opening cutout under it. Space it up a bit and most likely fine. My point was that the turning radius off the bottom of it to go sideways was crap in the stock useage. With the vertical column there mixture would have a tendency from inertia to keep going straight and smack into the floor before turning. No room to turn.

Thanks for the site good stuff there, yeah it is a tad pricey but the pic will come in handy.

Gotcha on the spacer, makes sense with the stock intake should work ok on the EFI lower.

I have a few intakes on the 2.0 the pony ram, the esslinger 4 mukuni bike carbs ,the holley 390 4 barrel the latter two where on a built 2.0 with an esslinger head and a big crane cam flat tops etc etc etc. For a stock motor the header and a holley 350 should work fine .

Can you give a review of each of them, since you have first hand info. I have the Edelbrock set-up and was going to run it on a slightly modded pinto 2.0 ( cam, headers and slight head work). It's going to be a driver (model A with a T5), but would like some more power.

It seems like the stock pinto 2.0 with a holley 350 is the best way to go for a '73 2.0 ? how about a large base Rochester 2 jet (350-425 cfm)
'72 2.0 in a '28 Ford.
