That`s the one, Joe. Certainly goes to show how serious the manufacturers were when it came to reducing weight in the late 70s-early 80s, 2 barrel intake made from aluminum, material carved out between the intake runners, and the bare minimum needed to mount the carb. When I first bought my 78 Fairmont 2 door sedan, it was bone stock, but a real stripper, 4 cylinder (all cast iron), 4 speed (cast iron case), manual steering and brakes, no radio, etc, and I drove it onto the scales with 1/3rd tank of gas, with the spare tire and jack still in the trunk, and weighted 2680 pounds.

That intake gasket is decieving because the 255 intake ports are tiny ovals, way smaller than 302's which are similar to the gasket opening.
A 255 is a stone. I worked at a Ford dealer in 80-81, we didn't have anything that could even spin a tire in the rain! I can't imagine being a lot boy nowadays with 760hp Shelbys and even 300hp econoboxes. . I think the 255 was 112hp, and slushbox only, |
