Gen1 Lightning lower intake info needed
Looking at a manifold that’s for sale. Anyone have the correct casting or part number for the lower intake manifold? The one for sale casting number is:RF F2JE 8(or possibly 9)K461BA. Would this be a Lightning lower? Thanks in advance.

Pretty sure they are all the same.
There were the ones that were OE on the trucks & there was those that were sold through Ford Racing.
I think there are some iron marine versions (God knows why)
Either way they are ridiculous money.

I do not have casting numbers. The folks at NLOC could maybe help you. I could get you the L part number if you want it.
Are you concerned it is a counterfeit part or what? 5.8 GT40 intakes only came from a handful of sources and as far as I know there is no functional difference between them.

I've got some 5.0 GT40 lowers around I could shoot a pic of what it's NOT if you need.
Width alone should give it away if pics are what you're getting are true.

The 5.8 Lightning/GT40 distributor clearance bend (?) is less pronounced than the 5.0. Would that be an accurate description of the difference between the two. I measured the width of a stock 5.8 lower I have and it’s about 10 7/8”. I’ll be measuring it when I check it out tomorrow.

Before I did the hybrid 5.8/5.0 thing I considered the Explorer lower & Price Mototrsports adaptors.

Std EFI 5.0 lower seems to be average of 9 inches, bye the bye.

Well folks, this was all for naught. In typical Facebook Marketplace, and even more with Craigslist, the seller sold it to someone else. Even after telling him I would take it, if it checks out, and even setting up a meeting time. Heck he even gave me his address. He informed me an hour later that he sold it to someone else. He had it listed for $200 and when we messaged each other, he said that he would let me have it for $150. Too good to be true?
Sorry for the rant. Thanks for the replies.
