perrisb Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Which of the F-16 models/blocks used the "bigmouth" intake that Cutting Edge produces? Also, is the P&W exhaust cone necessary for the when using the bigmouth intake? TIA, Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernut Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Blocks 30, 40 and 50 use the bigmouth intankes...Blocks 32, 42 and 52 use the small mouth intake. The Pratt & Whitney exhaust nozzle is only applicable to the 32, 42 and 52 block aircraft (and those prior to block 30). The larger intake F-16's use a different engine. HTH Tim Oh, all these blocks from 30 on up are F-16C's. Block 40 series aircraft are F-16CG's and block 50 series aicraft are F-16CJ's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper Enforcer Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 The first production run Block 30s all had the small mouth (NSI) intake. This also includes the Isreali Block 30 C models (not the D models) and all the F-16Ns. For USAF Block 30 F-16s, Serial numbers 86-0262 on up, all have the Big mouth intake. Block 30s with a SN below that, have the small mouth intake. All Pratt powered F-16s have the small mouth intake, expect for VISTA. Note that the CE Big mouth itnake is made to fit the Hasegawa 32nd F-16 kit. Mike V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
