F4TE 351W AND GT40/Lightning intake- Colorado Springs

Post by **akaFrankCastle** » Mon Mar 30, 2015 10:34 pm

Here's the deal. I picked up this Lightning lower a couple of years ago with the intent of building an EFI 5.8 for my Bronco. Plans have changed and I'm likely going carbed. I might change my mind again down the road. I'll tackle that when I get there. Bottom line is this intake set up is sitting on my shelf consuming precious dollars that I could be using on another more pressing issue.

I'm including a GT40 upper from a Explorer to sweeten the deal for whomever is interested.

I'm trying to price this fairly, according to what I am seeing on the interwebs price wise, and recoup my original costs to purchase and ship.

Doing a little research and found that this is the Ford Racing / Ford Motorsports version of the Lightening intake. Not sure what the differences are (if any).

Anybody ?

The splash plate, or whatever it is called, on the underside is smaller on this version than the one that came out later.

Do you know if it was ever used........it looks very good shape ?

I don't believe it was ever used. The guy I bought it from, in California, pretty much used it as shelf decoration like o have. Appears to be in excellent condition.

I want this and the engine you've got for sale slightly more than I want oxygen, but this one won't get through the one person spousal review committee.

Damn it! I just saw this for the first time, a day late. If the status changes Zack, I'm in the hunt.

It went north yesterday.

The 5.8 will likely be getting picked up today as well.
