Confused
Ok I have a 1960 F-100 with the 223 and was looking at the Offy intake.. But all there listing are only for "1957-59 Ford 223 OHV 6 Cylinder Triple Manifold"..
I thought the 223 from 57-60 was all the same?

Well guy, we're used to you being confused by now. 
I think you are correct, the 223 is the same from 1954 through 1960 as far as I can tell from my books. I have a separate listing for the 1961 through 1964 years.
Now one of you experts on the six cylinder engines come along here and give us the real scoop. Is the Offy catalog off(y)? ha ha - a little pun there ... very little apparently.

If it is like my aluminum intake the flange that the carburetor mounts to is not flush to the runners like the steel setup. I bet there is a couple inches of rise where both carburetors mount. That is why it will not clear the hood. The carburetors are pretty short for those years if I remember correctly so changing that out is not much of an option. How tall is the air cleaner? Maybe put a hood scoop on that is offset to one side. I have seen a few of them that were a low profile that I thought looked good.

Darn, if you have 18" I have no idea why it will not work. I misread the original post I thought it said 2 inches not 2 feet. There has to be something or they would sell it for newer trucks also. You could always buy it and find out why it wont fit or that it will fit.

The standard Offenhauser 223c.i. Duce & Tri-Paks along w/ the 4bbl Intake should fit just fine w/ as much room under the hood of your '60.

the Offy manifolds actualy mount the carb lower to the intake than stock, so clearence isn't a problem at all, and the info they have is probaly for pass cars, the manifold should fit all 223's to 64, 61-64 heads have the same ports as earlier 223's, difference was the top casting where the valve cover bolts
