    If you dont got the bills for the high dollar spacers you could always do this.

    CFM- Hey thanks for all the helpful info. I do have a 460 Ford, and the intake has a 4150 flange on it so, it might be a jr., or just a vic, don't recall. So, with that being said, from your experience, would you stack (2) 1'' spacers, use a ss, or a Wilson ? Thanks again.

    No prob.
    Min of 1" Super Sucker. Wilson is fine too if you want.
    You can try a 1" open phenolic (wood looking) spacer under that if you have room / fuel line length / etc . That way if 1" blended works best than you won't be out much $$$$.
    If anything like the BBC's (468-502's) it should love the 1"SS + 1" open combo.
    Lastly - why not 2" SS ? You can, but by remote chance your motor doesn't want the extra 1" then you aren't out mucho.
    540's + I go right for the 2". No questions.
    Hope this helps.

    I know cfm is more much more experienced than me but from what I understand is that every motor is different and some spacers work better than others. When we would go to the dynos a four hole spacer wuld work better than a single hole, and vise versa. And then you have the trick spacers.
    If you know anyone with some the best would be run them and then try another?
