67 Fairlane / Comet 427 manifolds |

There was a recent string on these manifolds on network 54 where a guy was wondering aloud why so many of these manifolds seem to be for sale, often NOS. The reason that seems obvious to me is that there were so few of the cars made, even though many more were planned. Because the side oiler blocks were rejected at such a high rate there were very few 1966 - 67 427 cars produced resulting in, I think, lots of extra manifolds.
The Shelbys would have been more powerful with them for sure.
Kevin Marti stated in an earlier post on this forum that the Shelby GT500 1967 - 68 428's were indeed P code hydraulic lifter engines with manifold changes to allow use in the Mustang and of course the 8V intake on 1967's. The PI intake was used with the Holley carb in 1968. I bet Kevin checks in with a comment here.
