Title: Is this a BT manifold with FoMoCo markings?
Post by: JamesonRacing on February 24, 2020, 08:32:35 AM

Not sure what this is.  Looks like a BT FE intake manifold that was cast with FoMoCo casting identification.  Not sure at all what to think about the asking price either.

Quite a few differences compared to an original Ford C7AE-9425-F, especially around the carb pad, the Firing Order lettering, differences underneath too. Most of all the rest of the sellers items are Blue Thunder products. The asking price I would guess reflects the cost of making a quality part ( assuming it’s Blue Thunder ) plus whatever the seller wants for profit.

Here’s a Ford C7AE-9425-F

Art does a couple of manifolds with just the engineering numbers on them. None of his reproduction manifolds have FOMOCO.  He also does the C7ZX Shelby dual quad like this.

It is a BT.  Look at the carburetor flange stud bosses.  They are not round.  BTs have a sharp point.  Joe-JDC
