    edlebrock intake manifold Q's

    i just bought a 2bbl edlebrock manifold w/ egr spacer. (cool stuff but pricey) im slowly trying to upgrade for my cfi 85 cv to a cfi ho. i know i need e7 heads, harness, and cams ect.. i wanted to know how much hp does my cfi lopo motor aready have? how much hp could the edlebrock intake bring in a lopo w/out ho upgrades.
    sorry for the dumb q's but im addicted to this cfi stuff for now. untill atleast i can afford a 6 grand 302/375hp efi cobra motor.

    thanks guys in advance

    the 85 cf1 ho had e5 heads and was rated 180hp/280 ft lbs torque that edlelbrock intake might give you 10-15 hp over the stock intake
    did you find a 85 mark7 lsc cfi unit and ecm yet? you will need the 85 ho cam too, but i always suggest buying a new flat tappet cam and lifters

              More like 135, I think. Stock EFI single in 91 was 150, so I sincerely doubt that the cfi made more.

                  yup, depends on the year. 85 had better heads. 84 was I think 140, 80-83 was 130 or 135. Torque production on the other hand, the SEFI motors make more. I don't have figures, but if you've ever driven a properly running 85, then get into a properly running 86+ you can feel it. The torque figures are more useful than horsepower numbers to be honest. HP was a concept developed 175 years ago to sell steam engines. Its just a math function of torque and RPM so you may as well just use those figures directly

                        Vin code M is the 85 LSC with the HO motor. The ECM itself won't say LSC on it.

                        Vin F is the non-HO motor, should be what you have now.

                            I think the heads may actually be the same for HO and non-HO in 1985. You can swap the heads for something better, but unless you're going to say a GT40 type, I doubt you'll notice much difference. There isn't a lot of change between the E5 (1985) head and the E7 (1987 truck and HO) head.
