Guys, I ran into this problem when I started the V6 Conversion Project to my '65 SIV GT BW35 ALpine.

At the time I bought a good (as advertized) Ofy 4bbl intake. It did not have the 22mm 1.5 thread 20mm dia hose end. I attempted to salvage the one in the Mutt II stock intake manifold which was very corroded.

That is when I started searching for a "new" one. After visiting all of the FORD Dealers in and around my area within 75 miles, then going to the Internet for additional searches, I did not locate one!

I even went to my Machine Buddy with hopes of having one made..... That proved to be very expensive, too much for me at the time!

Now I wish I had gone ahead with my idea of having some fabricated.

Maybe it would be worth the effort to see if there are enough guys in need of one. They do corrode and get thin after long periods whether through use or just sitting in storage.

Any ideas?

I might have to dig out my intake, that I bought new several years ago and check it. Now where did I put it?

That’s ok, I know it’s in the garage somewhere. With most of my other parts. Rest are in the dining room.
