Ford 240/300 inline 6 clifford intake and twin weber carbs 6=8 120 horsepower ! | eBay

 

Whew, that's a hefty pricetag! But what a nice looking setup.

This does, however, crack me up quite a bit:

Yeah, sure.

 

Sure are proud of it aren't they...I would have a hard time not using an EFI lower with a fabricated plenum upper (like the pics we have seen 100s of times) for a dual carb set-up.

 

I have a good feeling you could pull that off for less than $1500.

 

I notice that the seller on ebay says they bought the shorty headers, being sold separately from the intake, from 'Jack' Clifford. I know Jack passed at least 10 years ago, and the co hasn't been called that since.

I notice the intake has the water heat, so it's not that old....

Quite a pricetag.

 

lol you should see the price in cdn funds ..1700 ++ plus shipping 13% tax and brokerage fees

 

that's a sweet setup, but I don't feel like selling an organ or two on the black market to afford it.

 

Cliff is still selling that outfit for $1,389. "Wow, for $39 more I could buy a new one straight from Clifford! I am amazed that Clifford doesn't sell that intake w/o the carbs!

Knowing that Clifford simply repackages, it makes me wonder who is making that intake for them. (I guess Offenhauser.)

I am a bit saddened to see Cliff now only sells 17 items for the 240/300. At one time he had heaps of items for the bb6. I believe his shrinking line of parts representative of the aftermarket support for our engines nation wide.

I know the cliff. return policy, or lack there of, is bad, but why wouldn't the owner get a refund? It makes me wonder if the ebay items were bought, and that person was gathering parts when they passed. I have a feeling that if they don't come down in price, the ebay set up will be there for a while.

 

I was thinking about that. I'll bet you could contact Offenhauser about one. I'd be surprised if one couldn't be found, minus the carbs, for 6-$700, used.

To build it yourself you'd need a good mig welder, which is pricey, and you'd need to experience to use it well. Then all the fitting, welding, grinding, purchasing gas and rod, a junk head to test the fit.... And, you'd need to figure out a way to install a coolant passage, unless you're only driving it occasionally like the custom ones you see on youtube.

If you are set up for it, and want to spend a large piece of time doing it, then yes. But for a daily driver, for the average Joe, I'd say go the used Offy route. Bolt it on and shazam!
