Saw this & wanted to pass it along. 3 Deuce Intake




John

 

Where are the bolt holes to bolt the T-stat housing to the manifold? Is that a line of weld on the top of the manifold in line with where one of those holes is supposed to be?

Buyer beware.

 

lmfao!! i thought i was just tripping but you seen that to so i know im ok then.

 

Looks like it's "ready to drill and tap"

 

t stat bolts EASY FIX , $800 is a good price with carbs and linkage

 

but how much for the MACH 1 !!!!

 

pretty sure it's a 70

 

Is it just my poor eyesight or is that a T-bird 3 deuce set up? The carbs sat at more of an angle on a T-bird. I think 8 bills is all the money for a welded up intake in todays economy.

 

None of the big block mustangs came with an oil fill/breather tube either. Definitely an older deuce setup. If complete, the carbs and linkage are worth the 800.

 

This is a Galaxie setup you can see the angled carb pads. The Tbird 6V used a flat intake as the engines sit level in those. The T-bird 6V intakes are a little different and pretty well sought after when you find them. Single 4V carb T-bird FE's used a angled spacer to level the carb. As they used the same angled carb pad intakes all other FE's used. Why they didn't use angled spacers on the 6V T-bird is anyones guess. I think it was hood clearance or the lack of on the Birds. So it got it's own casting revised and also the aircleaners were unique with the T Bird logo vs the plain full ribbed top on the Galaxie 6V.

I agree for $800 it's not a bad deal. T stat holes redo easy fix as others said. I sold my old 406 6V 100% all original with factory aircleaner for $1600 years ago on evilbay. Prices have come down quite a bit on this stuff.

 

I've got 11 "15426378" intake manifolds.

 

That would be the firing order that was cast into most FE intakes.

 

LOL

Read the posted ad, seller gives that as the "Part #".......
Granted, that number is visible in the pictures, right below the words "Firing order". Some people don't know a firing order from a casting number......

 

Yep I didn't read the ad that closely and missed that. Thanks.

 

I missed it too, the 1st time.......
Which was the reason a "LOL"d at the comment about having 11 of them......
