[DeTomaso] WTB: Ford C9OX-D 302 Intake for Goose or F4B Edelbrock

New Year Greetings!!!

Am having fits trying to get my new whippy dippy SVO heads to fit on my new engine....actually they fit fine....it's when I put an intake on that things go awry.....  Having problems fitting the carb..... and I think I sorta need one still.....

So, am looking for an old Ford C9OX-D (C9OE-D) factory aluminum piece, may be lettered near the t-stat opening as FORD, SHELBY, COUGAR, TIGER, or blank, as Ford had them made up a few different ways...but all the same intake!

Another option is an Edelbrock F4B of similar design and period.

Old articles about modifying Goose used the Ford Intake, but I have seen pic's of an F4B on a car, but I am not sure how much was modified to make it fit!

I could make what I have fit just fine.....IF....I just ran a smaller diameter open air cleaner...but I've been there already.....and don't want a repeat of last years "Leaving Las Vegas...or NOT!" episode.....   It is a very strong requirement that I retain the use of a stock air cleaner.    ...I may have to modify that to a "stock type" air cleaner....and make something else work....ugh.

The pile of parts that don't fit is getting larger than the ones that do! :)))

If you have something lying around collecting dust, and aren't quite sure what to do with it..... I will take it off your shelf!!!!!

Lemmeno!
Best wishes for a prosperous and happy new year to youse all!

See you in Reno!  40th anniversary of the production Mangusta!!!!
