Ford Motorsport / Roush M-9424-A331 intake on e-bay

This was my manifold that was on my 73. I angle cut the carb pad on it. It works very well. It is much peakier then the torker but probably makes a few more hp. It blocks alot of your rear view and is going to have the tendancy of icing up the carb at even 40 degrees because it is air gap. The Torker version works better on the Pantera. Incidentally it has no heat provisions in the manifold either but isn't an air gap like this. Chances are it's for sale because of the height issue. It's up there pretty good. It kinda' looks like the Parker huh? I wonder why?

Oh, I'm not the one selling it, this is the guy I sold it to about 2 years ago or so.

How would this manifold match up with a stock 4V Pantera head from a '72?

Not well at all, the runner is narrower & raised about 3/8".

If you want a similar manifold for the iron 4V heads, the Parker Funnel Web, sold by Aus Ford Parts & others, would be a possible candidate, as would the TFC intake sold as the Vapors intake by PI Motorsports.

Your friend on the DTBB, George

Thanks George. I figured as much.

I've been eyeing the intakes you mentioned..just looking for a good deal, eventually.

I'll probably just buy the Vapors..as I like to support PIM as much as possible.

I really *appreciate* their sponsorship of this board...without asking for any($$$)thing in return, except for goodwill towards each other.

The mismatch is actually worse then George describes. The biggest problem is the bottom of the port. The "high port" manifolds have the bottom of the port in the vacinity of 7/8" to 1" higher. That's a lot of chewing gum to put in the port.
Look out for these maifolds with the carb plenums suspended in the air like this if you drive the car in cold temeratures. The carb will ice up somewhere in the 30's if not 40's. There is no heat riser provision in them.
