Collection: Crosswind Manifolds for SB Ford

To create this manifold we took our popular 54000/54001 Typhoon manifold for small block Fords and modified it to produce an open area under the plenum (commonly called an air gap). This then became our Crosswind model. This design allows ambient air to pass beneath the plenum which has a cooling effect on the incoming fuel/air charge thus Crosswind for 289/302/5.0L producing more power. This isolation also keeps engine heat from transferring into the plenum chamber. This manifold has several unique features such as a rear water crossover passage which contributes to a cooler running engine, nitrous bosses and four corner water ports. It also incorporates a rear water cross-over passage that promotes a cooler running engine.
