The numbers may have been polished off but it is likely either an
M-9424-A331 or an M-9424-A351, both of which were made by Roush for Ford
Motorsport. Edelbrock also made high port intakes (A331 for A3 heads, C351
and D351, Victor AH-II for C3/C302C302B heads) for Ford Motorsport.

Interesting. I got a set from Bob as well and they didn't fit at all. The
body and engine stands had to be notched for clearance.
> Wished I knew build info etc., but previous owner didn’t have much.
That's often the case. Big bucks supposedly spent on a rebuild but the
seller has no idea what is actually in the engine.

it was built to ruin at 8000.
Hopefully you at least know what the lash spec is for the presumably solid
lifter camshaft. A change to a camshaft with less overlap could move the
power band down if so desired.
Good Luck,
Dan Jones.
