I was on my phone, I can see it more clearly now. It has a factory appearance like this 1963 coded intake:
C3AE-9424-E
Measure the ports.
C3AE-9424-F

I ran one similar to that until the exhaust cross over burned through. It was off a 1960 352 HP. It had no casting numbers and just a very small FOMOCO logo, I don't see that on yours so I'm not sure. It had large ports that matched my 428CJ heads,

It's definitely an FE intake (not FT, the exhaust crossover would be in the center). It's also definitely early, based on the crankcase ventilation setup.
It's also "tilted" - which means it was only used in certain cars I believe. T-bird? Galaxy?
that's all I got

It's for a 390 and the value is between 500-1200 based on buyer. They don't show up much and have been bringing a premium at the swap meets.

Depends on the size of the ports. Probably not a 427 other than a low riser, If the smaller ports probably will fit any FE. If larger ports it may still fit if the port mismatch and gasket fitment can be made to seal.
Found a couple aluminum FE intakes on E-bay for around $300. Looked to be about the same vintage, maybe a little later.
Lots of 2x4 and 3x2 manifolds on there for far more.

My old '55 Ford Victoria had a 390 put into it. It sure would have been nice to have had that manifold on it instead of having to wrestle the heavy cast iron one out, while sitting under the hood that curved way down in the front, busting you head as you tried to crawl back out with around 80lbs of manifold in your hands, and not crushing the top of the radiator that stuck way up in the air.
I was young then. Probably couldn't pick it up off the ground now.
