C8OF A intake manifold

[68stangcjfb]

Were there any early GT500KRs known to have gotten the C8OF A intake manifold.

No. I have a very early KR (02267), has the C intake.

I'm going to agree with Rod.
There will be those with theories otherwise which cannot be proven.....

 Renowned Ford FE engine builder Blair Patrick says the "in the family" KR they have has it's original engine and A intake.  This would be the first I've heard of.  Blair is not known for hallucinating.

     BTW the casting # is C8O"E" 9425-A  in 1/2" tall letters  stamped into a metal tag that was nailed to the wood casting pattern. The FoMoCo  is in block letters between # 2 and 3 ports not the oval in back like the C intakes.

Thanks. There are some photos I took of one at Carlisle some years ago on the 428 CJ site in the component section. I could have bought that intake for $650. Yes I'm still kicking myself for not buying it!😵😵😵

   Yes ,
      I believe that is the one that has been ground a bit on the #1 runner where the "change level" is. Mine are both very crisp in that area.

There's been a discuss on the CJ forum on A intake recently
