I think maybe 600 , but what do I know , the way almost everything else has gone up . I did not like the all thread and nuts for the breathers , just makes me wonder about other stuff .

Does it have any Shelby marking or any markings under the manifold?

A new BT 8V for 289 at Branda is $680.00 bare.  Carbs, fuel log, throttle bracket all make it a bargain if you want that for your engine.  Joe-JDC

     That manifold never had the Shelby name on it . It had the FoMoCo rectangle logo on it when Ford made it and when Blue Thunder acquired the patterns , the logo was removed. That manifold has small runners and is marginally better power wise than a single four dual plane. The later Trans Am style manifold DID have the Shelby name on some of them and others simply had a Ford part number on them . That (T/A style) manifold has not been reproduced.
