Need help and ID with an intake
By Paul M - 12/13/2002 5:42:46 PM; IP 12.228.108.55
And I need it from a knowledgeable source that can be trusted. I bought an intake from a guy I’ve trusted for awhile, because he told me it was an early CJ intake, designed off the S-code of `66. This one’s casting # is C7AE-9425-E, date code 7B7, with the big “S” on it. It looks completely identical to this one; http://home.bellsouth.net/p/s/community.dll?ep=16&groupid=51291&ck . I made the mistake of not researching it first, because I trusted the guy, but when I went to have it surfaced to clean up the port faces, my machinist asked me what in the hell was wrong with me putting that thing on the engine I just spent $3000 on. Everything I’ve heard about the S-code intakes is that they aren’t much better than the 2V’s, and even the 2V that is currently on my truck (big “T” on it) appears to have bigger ports/runners than this thing. He had quite a lengthy speel about Ford's craziness back then, and how they did things.

It’s not about needing a CJ intake in particular, it’s about paying $180 for an intake that would not be worth my time to put on this engine. (and also sells everywhere for $25-$75) He says I can port it, but some of the walls are less than 1/16th inch thick. Doesn’t sound like I’ld get very far.

I HAVE found an early CJ intake, casting # C7AE-F (not E) spoken of on Scott Hollenbeck's site, here: http://www.428cobrajet.com/id-intake.html however it is an *aluminum* casting, not iron, like mine. There were also only a very few made.

The other thing I found there was a press release from April of `68, announcing to the public the release of the `68 1/2 CJ cars. Seems rather odd to me that they would be producing intakes almost a year prior.

I am 99% sure this is not a CJ intake, but I need facts, from as knowledgeable a source as I can get. Any help I could recieve on thiswould be greatly appreciated.
This thread, so far...
