The first FE Intake Adapter?
« on: May 25, 2022, 12:20:33 PM »
This is a new ad today on Ebay, for a Immerson MFI system. In the ad, it's said that they may have been designed and made in the 60's and only 10 were made. There a lot of picture to look at. I don't remember them them, how about you, Cammer?

I'm posting this here, not as a ad but, as a historic FE part so, more members might see it and a conversation might develop. I have nothing to do with the selling of this.

Here Immerson has adapted a early Chrysler Hemi, Hilborn manifold to the FE. As I remember, that engine has 4 9/16" bore centers and matches up well with Ford's spacing, only about 1/16" off.

Has anyone ever heard of Ernie Immerson? He must have been heavily in the FE, to do this!

Enjoy:

Sure it is not Ernie Immeroso? (sp) He was big in Ford stuff.  Built a wild Indy cammer powered hot rod back in the 80s. Got lots of ink.
