Intake manifold verification

[Jakem]

Good day. Just want to verify this intake for my ford 302. I'm installing a new edelbrock 600cfm marine carb. Does this intake work before I order it. Or do I need marine intake if there is a difference. I have closed cooling system if that makes a difference

You need a marine intake but could get by if in fresh water (for many years) or if closed cool. If in salt there is no way

Mostly salt water...I do have closed cooling

 

[alldodge]

Then should be no problem.
What ya run into is just finding something for a 302, but with closed cool it can be treated like a car

with a heat exchanger, you can run an automotive intake.

also, run a 160F thermostat vs a 160.

make sure to paint the intake after installation to prevent corrosion.
