Try the Parts For Sale forum, you should also check with the Nascar museum there in Mooresville.

Back in the '60s when the 427s were winning everything in sight Ford and their affiliates built a plethora of intake systems and while many worked great for their application there were quite a few that did little to improve the performace over the well tuned 780 cfm Holley carbs that were the standard of the day.

The standard setups from Ford were;

4V aluminum intake, Holley 780 cfm and some magnesium intakes for racing.

6V aluminum intake, standard Tri-Power set up from the 406 engines.

8V aluminum intake, 780 cfm Holleys on 7,000 rpm kit engines and medium or Hi Rise engines, some magnesium intakes for racing and devlopment work also.

8V Weber carb intakes in aluminum or magnesium for the GT40 project(s) as well as for the Cobras in both 4 carbs down the centerline and 2 carbs on each side for use with down draft or side draft Webers.

Several types of fuel injection intakes for the many types of systems available at the time, including Hilborn and Tecalimit-Jackson. Mainly available for the sporty car set and the Can-Am racers.

While under contract to Ford, Smokey Yunick made several flat top Cross ram intakes for the Petty team and a few others that were tunable to the track by using different inserts. Which Edelbrock was licesed to make and market to the Chevy guys.

I haven't even begun to mention all the intakes Ford made for the Tunnel Port and SOHC engines but they were much the same as that for all the others. Ford did very little continuing development for the Low Riser engines once the Hi Riser was out there as the Medium Riser was nearing production and was sure to pass up both the Low and Hi Riser in both lower production cost and desireabilty as the Medium Riser was only 1 horsepower less than the Hi Riser in production form.

And then there were all the after market clone intakes of varying quality incuding many attempts to equal the performance provided by the original Ford parts.

Confusing, Ain't it! And there is a lot more when talking about the aftermarkrt suppliers
