Anyone know how to identify different Ford intake manifolds? Any distinguishing characteristics? I noticed today, looking around under the hood, that right underneath the new Cobra upper manifold, it also has a new base intake manifold...or at least it's been cleaned and looks like it's been painted (a glossy gray/gunmetal color)...just curious now if it's stock or has been replaced as well, considering nothing about this motor seems quite right (feels like it's been rebuilt)... All I can say is it does have Ford stamped on it, up front by the water spout thing...and it's got some #'s on it. I'm taking photos tomorrow and I'll pull the numbers then..
