Ford 289-302 Windsor Hi-Rise Single Plane Intake Manifold

Overview

For carbureted Ford 289/302 Windsor builds aiming for serious top-end power, this hi-rise single-plane intake sets the tone for the entire combination. Cast specifically for these engines, it thrives in the 3000–7500 rpm band where most street/strip small-blocks make their best power. The raised plenum and straight runner design maintain consistent air and fuel velocity all the way to the cylinder heads, helping you squeeze every bit of upper-rpm performance.

Key advantages

• Non-EGR configuration designed for maximum flow and peak performance.
• Single-plane layout optimized for 3000–7500 rpm, ideal for high-rpm street/strip and racing applications.
• Carburetor pad machined for square-bore throttle bodies and accepts either manual- or electric-choke aftermarket carbs without adapters.
• Clearance for late-model water necks, A/C compressors, alternators, and HEI distributors in most chassis without modification.
• Cooling-system versatility with four corner water ports plus a fifth front outlet for flexible routing.
• Dual distributor hold-down bosses to secure the ignition distributor under high-rpm vibration.
• Runners and port layout sized to maximize flow; casting is thick enough to support port work when matching to cylinder-head ports.
• Designed to pull hard through the upper rpm range without the flat spots typical of dual-plane manifolds.
• Extra water outlets and dual distributor clamp provisions provide versatile installation options.
• Specifically fitted for Windsor engines, offering reliable fitment and compatibility with common small-block Ford accessories.

For enthusiasts building a Windsor combination that demands strong upper-rpm performance, this manifold delivers the airflow path, fitment, and cooling routing details that help transform a good engine into a powerhouse.
