Can someone educate me about the differences between the different OE High Riser intakes Ford made in the 60’s?
I listed the ones I know of but I’m sure I’ve missed a few.
C4AE-9425-E 1x4
C4AE-9425-G 1x4
C4AE-9425-D 2x4 dual plane
C4AE-9425-F 2x4 dual plane
Was there a 2x4 tunnel wedge version?
-
Of O.E.M. Ford, I also have examples of the 1x4 without casting/engineering numbers (looks a lot like the "E") and Weber intakes.
Apparently DOVE made a few H.R. "Tunnel-Wedge style" intakes. :)

The main difference between the E & F 2x4 intakes is the carb mounting surface. One is flat, the other is at an angle. Might be some more to it than that.

I'm thinking you meant "D" & "F", if you were speaking of the 2 x 4 intakes. :-\
And if so, there's definitely more to it than that! Find a picture of each and compare the runner execution. ;)

I looked at a D today. I was told it has sufficient spacing to use carbs with metering blocks and it had an angled mount.
-
There is a XE 2x4 also. The D is sort of angled in the center like an X so is the XE. The High riser has its own carb spacing on the 2x4 stuff because the carbs from the factory used metering blocks front and back. Ive always heard the F intake is a good 25 plus HP over the D . Dove made the tunnel wedge for the high riser but it is usually only for the raised port heads.
-
There was an early style 4V HR intake without a part number that I have worked on. It had terrible flow distribution between the runners. It is rare. Here is a picture of it compared with the -E. Joe-JDC
-
Yes, the "E" 'was' better, but then the "G" example is better again and is definitely the one you want! :)

428KIDD: Is the XE better than the F? Have you heard?
-
F is better than the XE or the D as far as performance goes. Robert Pond is making new F intakes and F heads and can be purchased through Chris Whitney.
-
I have the one of the Dove Hi Rise tunnel wedge intakes. Not sure how many Jim Dove sold
-
John67427: does it fit the stock C4AE-6090-F high riser port locations? If so, are you interested is selling your Dove Tunnel Wedge?
-
At the present time it’s not for sale. It does have the the standard Hi Rise ports configuration, not the Paquet port. I tried to post photos but this site doesn’t like I phone photos.
-
If you change your mind I’m interested.
-
They made standard high riser port location and raised port location in them.

Quit showing that picture, Lance. You force me into the sin of coveting.
-
That’s what I’m looking for.
-
Lance, if I try to look at your pics a whole bunch of junk starts popping up.
-
Not sure works on my end? It is hosted on post image? Maybe a pop up deal? Unfortunately this is raised port stuff and the intake matches it. Im going to try and use this on my Comet!

Joe was having trouble getting these pictures posted so he asked me to do it - Jay

How about this one? If you were to watch a certain 17-minute youtube video, you would see one with very similar DNA- except this one has Dominator flanges. Sits on those heads with the ports way up high with the same DNA
-
I need it to fit under a teardrop hood.
Based on what I know now...
1st choice - Dove Tunnel Wedge (stock high riser port location)
2nd choice - Factory 2x4 "F"
3rd choice - Pond 2x4 "F"

I believe the part number I'm looking for is a Dove Part # DOVE-9424-B
