Call Clifford they have them $329. $16 for the gasket. I just received mine UPS day before yesterday about 1 week to ship. It will accept 3 weber carbs or the Redline Weber 3x2 TBI which is what I am planning on using. I purchased my linkage from CP they said it was the same for carbs or TBI $130, I have seen it for $126 other places. I also have one of their valve covers $239. It came with a gasket/3M glue, oil fill plug, breather cap and baffles for the inside also instructions for the glue and their gasket. I have an exhaust flange I plan on using to fab up some headers. It is the same foot print as the I piece stock. I laid the gasket down and placed the intake mani and exhaust flange on it and it looks like it will work.

I spoke with Larry. He quoted me a price of $4800.00 for the TBI system. He also said you can do carbs for about half of that. He also stated I could get the carbs cheaper elsewhere. I see CP wants $569 I have found them for $299. I will be calling Redline when I get home to see what prices they have on the TBI I am guessing it will be less than Clifford's. I also need to get their suggestions for an ignition to use with the TBI. Give em a call.


check this out...

Clifford Performance :: Make 6 = 8

Heres some pics...



This shows the approximate fit of the intake and exhaust flanges...

I found this manifold online. It's a Clifford. I'm hoping to have it in my hands early next week, was going to go 4 bbl but this looked alot more interesting.

That's right. I'm putting 3 Weber DCOE 40 or 45mm carbs or the equivalent TBI. I need the side draft for hood Clarence in my FFR Roadster. You can kinda see it in the back ground of the pic's but it is a little dark. I am going for the look of the old British sports car an inline with Weber's.

Clifford Valve Cover: I just want to pass along a tip: make sure you clean up under the baffles on the v.c. with a wire, and then air before you install. I had mine polished and did not clean up under there. The oil washed out the polishing compound and wiped my new engine.

A newly manufactured cover could have some residual goop up there. Do yourself a favor and check with a mirror and flashlight before install. I hope that saves you some agony.

Those intakes are really nice.

Am I extremely high or did you just say you're putting a big six into a Cobra kit car?

What, you mean like the Holley Pro-jection or Commander or whatever they're calling it these days? They pretty much stand alone - wire to ignition hot, power, and ground then go. Figuring out the fuel supply/return is usually the biggest pain.

Yes, that is what I am doing. I have the 300 along with a TCI AODE trans sitting in my FFR Roadster chassis waiting for me to finish fabing up the engine mounts/chassis mods. I do not call it a Cobra. It is a Factory Five Racing Roadster-British AC ACE replica sport edition.

Here's a little better pic
