[Tigers] Special request...from A Tiger Owner...

At today's exchange rate, $200 Canadian is about $140 US. Might be worth it if you really want it, but shipping from Ontario is probably not super cheap.

Mayf, 
I used to have one of those, came on my stock 85 5.0L motor from my old Alger. 

Paul Reisentz told me it was a junk performer and had me buy an Edlebrock. If its not a good performer and isn't period correct why in the world...? 
That manifold has the crosshatch pattern on the runners you are going to have to grind down first thing.

Gentlemen, 

I am seeking a special manifold for my Tiger. It is a stock Ford Mustang HO intake manifold. The what follows: 

Years 1883, 1984, and 1985 

Mustang 5.0L HO 

Aluminum 4 BBL intake and needs the special carb spacer (maybe) 

Casting number RF-E3ZE-9425-FC 



I am seeking this to place on my box stock Tiger that I obtained in January 1967. I want this manifold so I can polish it up and if necessary ported a bit (but not likely as the heads are stock as well, in port size). I want It because I am tired of fiddling with a Ford or Holley or Edelbrock carb: I will find a used 4bbl electronic fuel injection unit somewhere to put on it . This is more about the bling aspect, not performance, however, so it needs to be in great shape and at a price that won’t off balance the national balance of payments in America . Or if all yall can find such a critter, can you find out what is being asked for it, and the shipping cost to 89048 zip code. Hopefully one of you has one just laying on the garage floor gathering dust and being tripped over. I have found some, but, yikes for some reason they are ballisticaly high in price. 



Oh, and everything that bolts to the manifold is appreciated as well. I have no idea whatg I might run into trying to get such a thing running well. 



Interested in what you may have or know of for sale.
