[DeTomaso] BOSS 302 manifold on eBay

[Ken Green]

Dan,
 
    I was looking at the photo of the head flange.  The bolt holes are all nearly vertically centered on the runners.  I thought that all the high port heads have the bolt holes closer to the floors of the runners?  It looks like something that would match a 4V head, not a raised port head.

    The same seller has Weiand tunnel ram that has the same characterists.

     Just something I haven't seen before.

Ford Motorsport high port heads were designed for for either
Windsor or Cleveland water routing.  Some high port intakes
were designed for Windsors, some for Clevelands and others
were designed for either.

Why do you say that?  The seller says it has ports that are
2 1/16" high by 1 7/16" wide.  A Boss 302 has a 2.5" tall by
1 3/4" wide intake port.  When attempting to mount a high port
intake on an engine with 4V heads, the lower floor of the 4V
head is typically exposed.  It appears to me to be a high port
intake that has been widened to perhaps match a ported set of
C302B or C3 heads and has been milled.
