look what arrived today!

It looks similar to Edelbrock's Torker #2760.

Fredrik,

The M9424-A331 is discussed on several occaisions in the Engine Forum. It was cast by Edelbrock for Ford and is indeed based on the Torker intake manifold. What differentiates this intake from the standard Torker is the modified runners. The roof of the runners are raised 6 mm and the floors are raised 12 mm compared to the ports of a 4V intake manifold like the Torker. This manifold was designed to mate with the Ford/SVO M6049-A3 high port cylinder heads.

The carburetor mounting pad of this intake manifold is about 50 mm lower than the carburetor mounting pad of the high rise "spider" type manifolds. It is the only intake designed for Ford/SVO high port heads with a carburetor mounting pad this low. With a careful selection of parts I should be able to keep the induction system under the engine screen, no modifications to the body necessary. Which is my reasoning for selection of this particular manifold.

Welcome to the club pal. Now you need to know the secret handshake.

George it also fits the C302B's ... right .. I got my eye on one also ... I'm happy you found one so were both not pursuing the same lead ... LOL .

It fits the A3 heads. It does not fit the B or C heads unless you port them to the A3 size.

Ron,

the picture below is a C302 gasket aligned with the bolt holes of the A331 intake. The port/runner are the same height, and on the same centerline, but the A3 port is a 1/4 inch (6 mm) wider on both sides of centerline, 1/2" overall wider.

Congrats George, Sounds like you made a great trade.

There is hope. I have one of these with C ports.
I doubt it is the only one ever made.
The simplest thing to do is to deport an Edelbrock Torker to what you need.
I did that to fit the A3's before I found a real one and it worked very well.

I have an A331 High Rise already but I figured it would be nice to have a low rise .. I was outbid on EBAY so just as well its not the correct one for my application .. so as you said Doug " deport it " you mean send it back to mexico ... probably better off there any way .. LOL

No if I have to deport it ..its better to butcher up a Torker which I have already .. there not worth much .. if I require a low rise thats the direction I will go. What did you say the deporting epoxy was called you got from Grainger ??

Thanks,

there was no cash involved, just an exchange of parts.

Sure hope it wasn't a body part!!! LOL

Congrats on the score..

It's called Devcon Plastic Aluminum. You want the putty, not the liquid.

Cool thanks ... Ron
