EFI lower intake manifold

My buddy just bought an 87 F-150 with an 4.9L. we removed the intake manifold to investigate an exhaust leak at the head and discovered the lower EFI manifold has the rear mounting ear broken off. It appears to have happened a while ago and somebody attempted to glue it back together.

Anybody have a lower manifold for sale? or know where we can get a used one? nothing listed on Ebay.

They're decently cheap on eBay. They break so readily that it's only a matter of time until that source dries up though.

alumiweld can fix it up. Tack it in place with that as best you can, and seal it up with JB weld... amazon or Harbor Freight will have alumiweld sticks

nice

Be very careful not to dangle the entire weight of the manifold off that single stud - that is usually how they break.
