Hey guys, thanks for the information....but not the motor I am working on.

My Ford FE is a 488 cubic inch Dove aluminum block with Dove aluminum high-riser heads. They made low, medium and high-riser heads. The high-risers were the ones that NASCAR banned when the Chrysler Hemi was banned.

As a result, the heads are rare. Lee Holman at Holman-Moody tells me that someone made a manifold for the high-riser that would accept the webbers. I plan to install fuel injection throttle bodies rather than the webbers....but that manifold seems to rare as hen's teeth. Lee told me that a gentleman from Australia had one and so I thought, why not...hoping he would see the post or someone may know him.

I appreciate your response and guess I will just keep looking.

Thanks
