I know they went out of business a little while ago, but I'm looking for a badman for my 302 ford. I've seen some chevy stuff on ebay but no luck so far finding one for a ford. Anyone see any for sale? Wouldn't mind the four deuce set up either. Basically I'm looking for an intake system that's a little different from a single carb. Any suggestions?

I never heard of one being made for the SBF- Only the SBC.

I worked in BG's race shop and we did all of the Badman mfg. in our North Carolina facility. We had a SB Chevy manifold and a SB Ford manifold in production with a BB Chevy in prototype stage. The Badman inline carb will be hard to find because their were less than thirtyfive of them made, we had them working really well (excellent fuel distribution and idle quality) they made the same HP as our 750 Demon but for some reason were quicker on the race track (1/4 mile) We also made 6 other combinations to go on top of the manifold, single 4bbl, dual 4 bbl, three 2 bbl, 4 2 bbl, six 2bbl. The three 2bbl 500 cfm Demon set up usually made the most HP but was not as quick as the Badman. There should be enough of the Ford and SB Chevy manifolds floating around out there to be able to find one, the Badman carb will be alot harder to find. The Holly Group bought all of BG's debt when he went bankrupt and the rumor is that they bought it in order to get their hands on the Badman!

you may talk to the guys who will be now building the demon stuff.Talked to them at sema and they are planing to re-release demon carbs but If holley bought the rights to what your looking for then a call to holley might help. on BG's page it states that the Demons will be released hope this helps a little.
