Default Intake Manifold Height Difference's ?

I'm wanting to find out the height differences between the various Ford FE intake manifolds. Does anyone have a possible list of the heights ?

I assume the Edelbrock RPM single the lowest ?

Get a copy of Jay Browns Intake Comparo. Has heights of all the intakes he tested. Plus a ton of other info on each. I have a copy if you need some measurements let me know which ones.

Jay Brown's book lists the Edelbrock performer 390, F427, S.P.2.P. and Streetmaster as having a lower rear heigth than the RPM. It also lists the Holley street dominator, Offenhauser 390, Offenhauser dual port, and Weland 7282 manifolds and most Ford manifolds as being lower or equal in rear heigth. The cast iron Cobra Jet was the same rear heigth as the RPM. The Ford medium riser 4bbl intake, Police Interceptor and Sidewinder 4bbl manifolds were all shown as 3/8 inch higher than the RPM manifold.

Hum, interesting. I assume the Edelbrock Vic. is the tallest ?

Jegs- RPM=Manifold height: (A) 4.89'' , (B) 6.04''; Carb pad height = 5.465''
Can't find specs for the Victor.
