There are no readily available cross flow heads for the Ford 300, but apparently with some work a person can chop up a couple of LS3 heads and stick them back together. 

Did not realize this was supercharged, which does make it trickier. 

We probably are in the minority, but there’s still a lot of us thinking about intakes.

Plenum style intake similar to what I’ve posted earlier, or individual throttle bodies.

Yeah, running a carb you’re kinda restricted in what you can do because all of those runners have to meet at a common spot, just the nature of the beast when it comes to carbs. Fuel injection opens up many more possibilities.

I don’t want to go that far with it, too much difficulty in tuning, but it would look pretty awesome. 

I’ve looked hard into that as well for my XJ750. 

The stock Ford 300 FI manifold is actually very similar to that, and very close to what I was looking for. I just didn’t spend a lot of time looking at the stock FI intake. It’s still not quite what I was thinking though because the runners are still very long (good for low end torque) and have lots of bends (bad for…

Velocity stacks are the best. 

I’ve looked into that as well and it’s really cool, I’m almost surprised that someone, even in the past, hasn’t made a cross-flow head for the 300. There’s a ton of performance builds out there, but apparently not enough to justify the development costs. 

I’ve seen your build on OPPO and I love it. Power isn’t what I’m chasing though (although power will be improved). What I really don’t like about those manifolds is the uneven fuel distribution to the cylinders and the uneven runner length. An intake similar to this;

I don’t have one yet, but I’m looking to put one in my ‘50 F3. It’s a lot easier to find a super cheap carbed 300, so I was mainly looking at ways to upgrade those. That and the engineer in me wants to build things in the best possible way, and try things that haven’t been done. 

I’m not chasing horsepower with the 300, the stock engine will probably do all I need it to do when I drop one in my ‘50 F3, but it’s always fun to make improvements, and the engineer in my wants to do it in the best possible way, even if that means it’s not the most cost effective thing to do, or if I could have…

Other than I haven’t spent much time looking at them to realize that they’re really close to what I was thinking, not much. I was thinking more of this style

I think it’s safe to say most of us, even those of us uncomfortably car-obsessed, don’t spend a lot of time thinking about intake manifolds.

Making this as simple as I can, automatic transmissions use planetary gear sets, which consist of 3 main parts, the sun gear, ring gear, and planetary pinions held together by the carrier. In order to get power through the transmission one of these sets needs to be locked, either by stopping one from moving, or…

Could have been, some people have different idea’s of too much vibration as well. When I had my 883 it was only my second bike and my first V-twin, the vibration was just part of the bike and I’m sure I just normalized it. I later moved on to a Yamaha Warrior which is much smoother in comparison. I rode a 1200 Sportste…

Sporsters have been rubber mount since ‘04, I had an 883 and it still shook at idle, and when you’re lugging it, but for basically everything above idle it was smooth and never bothered me.

They never should have stopped making the V-Rod motor. The only good thing about the V-Rod is the engine placed inside the frame rails. That same motor in a sportier frame/suspension set up would have made an awesome Sportster replacement and perfect competition to the Scout/Octane/Bolt/etc. Or put that engine in a…

This. As one of the rare millennials who likes Harley, a new Harley isn’t even worth considering because the used market is absolutely flooded with low mile examples for cheap (for a Harley, which brings me to my next point) Compounding this, all of those “cheap” Harleys push the metric market even cheaper which makes…
