That's what I was speculating about up in post #11 but I'm not sure. Ford FE lineage can get really complicated and confusing.
If you haven't found it yet, there is an FE Forum
332-428 Ford FE Engine Forum
I didn't see any Police Interceptor manifolds currently listed on it but it might be worth checking out and maybe posting a want-to-buy thread.
Unless your builder is just completely adamant against a used intake I wouldn't be too concerned. I may have lucked out on mine but there wasn't much other choice if I wanted dual quads and no other choice if I wanted to go with OEM Ford. I did send mine off to a noted aluminum component restoration guy to completely go over it, make repairs (few heli-coils) and re-skin it. It wasn't cheap but it came back looking virtually new.
