Any suggestions on finding a Blue Thunder Intake for a 351C. I'll take new or used, it's going in a 1971 Torino 351-4V

Call Hall Pantera. They had a couple in stock about 6 months ago. Blue Thunder casts them maybe once a year so when they sell out, they are hard to find. Good luck
Be aware that blue thunder makes two versions of their Cleveland intake.
HALL Pantera will carry the Pantera version which has a carb base milled flat.
For your application you want the standard blue thunder which has an angled carb base, as unlike in our Panteras, most engines are mounted at an angle and not parallel to the roadway.
Either one will work for your application but the angle of the carb can come into play on sudden deceleration and you will need to pay attention to properly adjusting both of the fuel bowl levels.

Try mustangs unlimited. They had a couple in stock not long ago. (Standard angled carb pad, not the Pantera version)

They have it, I ran one on my car 20 years ago great intake, the one pictured does not have the angel cut mount and that's a good thing since the original angle cut carb mount was specifically for the drags and meant you had to cancel it out with a wedge cut spacer, that was the one downside on the original intake.
