Just bought a '65 Delta 88 with a 45k 455 in it and Id like to upgrade the 455 to an Aluminum 4bbl. Looking for a used Performer or good street intake. Let me knwo what you have.

Josh,

First, welcome to this site. Second, you might want to look for an Edelbrock O4B manifold. It is an aluminum 4bbl type. I think you can find them in both spread bore and square bore patterns. I have one on my 455 with an Edelbrock carburetor and really like the performance and streetability. I am told the O4B doesn't comprimise as much on performance as the newer "performer" models. You may also find one that may be a little cheaper than the new ones.

Anyway, just a thought. Good luck with your search.

Thanks Dan..I appreciate the welcome. I found a performer for $95 on Evilbay. My first car was a '65 F85 so picking up this Delta was a Trip down Memory Lane.
