blueovalz Posted November 9, 2001 Share Posted November 9, 2001 Talk about two different ways to approach the hood clearance issue! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=597701621 then look at this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=597666962 If this range does not cover it, nothing will.

Guest Anonymous Posted November 9, 2001 Share Posted November 9, 2001 Wow, two extremes! Both pretty trick, I've never seen a manifold that flat before on that one they claim as a sunbeam tiger manifold. Sure would help with hood clearance on a ford Z swap from the looks of it. That tall one looks pretty cool too, sort of between a tunnel ram and a regular type highrise. Regards, Lone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Shasteen Posted November 9, 2001 Share Posted November 9, 2001 Definately from one extreme to the other. I too have never see a low profile manifold from the factory which is as low as that last manifold. The second manifold may have been from a 289HiPo Falcon. MuscleCar Magazine did a special this last month (may have been last month) on the alledged HiPo 289 Falcaon. Apparently all these years there were rumors that a HiPo 289 Falcon was mfg in very short numbers...but no one (no public expert-who claims to be an expert) had seen one at that time. Turns out that HiPo 289 Falcons were made...in very small production numbers; but never in the USA, only in Canada. MuscleCar's article included a Restored 289HiPo still owned by its original owner...somewhere in Canada. I'm not a Ford guy so I'm not sure where to look for the Ford emblem & Ford Part#'s; but I didnt see any on the second manifold...maybe an aftermarket unit(?). That would be a nice intake for a SBF on someone's project, Its powerband would surely be in the 3500-4500rpm range. Its definately a conversational piece to be that old & still apparently in that good of condition as well as being so unique.

BLKMGK Posted November 9, 2001 Share Posted November 9, 2001 Second manifold is an SVO piece I believe. It would have a Ford number but never have been used on a production vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
