390 S code intake
Would an S code iron 4v intake advertised off of a 66 maurader be a decent replacement for a factory 2v intake on a mild build 390 in a '76 F100 4x4? I know they weigh a ton but if the preformance is fine vs alum I dont see paying the $200-300 for an aftermarket alum intake. Could I still run EGR on the iron S code? Thanks

From what I can gather, that "water neck" on the back of that manifold should be a crankcase breather.
Note the item on this manifold:
C3AE-9425-K
Note the water inlet/thermo housing faces forward on the FE manifold, second pic down here, left of center as you look at the pic:
C4AE-9425-G
That was the crankcase ventilation method before the PCV was implemented. Note also those manifolds have the oil fill/breather at the front, again left of the water intake.
As for the S code manifold, posts I've read here indicate it is a good manifold, other than the hernia factor in picking it up.

Mustang 428 Cobra Jet Registry click on component ID section and you'll see the intake manifold and numbers. Or also on mustangtek too.
