An intake for a FE motor of the 2bbl variety. My machine shop guy has a client who is on the hunt for one.
Thanks!  Hugh

No sir, your 312 is a "Y" block. The FE's started in '58 and include, among others, 332, 352,390, 460 (?) etc etc.

332, 352, 360, 361, 390, 391, 406, 410, 427, and 428 displacements are all FE engines.
The FE designate stands for Ford Edsel in honor of Edsel Ford, son of Henry.
The 385-429-460 were a different family of engines.

Just for fun, we could really confuse things and add the Lincoln Y-Block used in Lincolns and big trucks, and the MEL engine family that came out about the same time as the FE.  :001:
I did a quick search on eBay motors and found several 2bbl intakes.  Search for Ford 352 Intake Manifold as those were the most common with 2bbl.

Thanks...I'll pass it on. Just figured if anyone had one sitting around here and wanted to part with it, I'd give them a chance. But I will look them up and then pass the info on to them.   :006:  :003:
