motor id and specs
just brought home a fe motor and looks a little diffrent
factory 4 barrel 75 f150 motor door tag says 390 4 barrel
intake has a large t on # 1 runner were the S should be,
is this a good intake, and what were the factory specs on this motor?
vin tag says f15mcw86113
was told that ford did not make a 4 barrel truck motor?
any info would help.

Every time you believe you are on the right Ford track, it veers off in another direction. I ran your VIN code and it came back

thanks. Any idea on the intake? i don't want to spend money on a performer if this intake will work as good for a mild 390. the truck is a daily driver and is being changed from a t-18 to a c-6

Obviously, none of us regulars are very familiar with that intake. Until your post, I would have sworn that Ford never offered a 4 barrel intake for the 360/390 in trucks.
That said, I imagine your intake is fine. The standard Ford car 4 barrel intakes are pretty good for truck and other street applications, and most aftermarket units are biased toward high rpm use (which means they typically result in crummy low end torque and poor throttle response). I'm using an Edelbrock Performer FE intake on my current buildup, but that's only because I needed to replace the two-holer that was on the engine. Consensus opinion around here is that the Ebock is almost identical to the late 60s cast iron 4 barrel manifolds Ford put on car 390s.
I'd recommend keeping that intake. It's probably a very rare option, which is pretty cool, and it's unlikely that an aftermarket unit would add any performance.
