I have BLUE THUNDER dual carb intake. Is there a company that could make it into a EFI direct injection with injectors and all?

It's a medium riser. Of course the carbs will need a complete rebuild. The intake looks to be in good shape.

Is it "real"? I guess so. Is it a "big deal"? Might be to somebody. Fact is this item would be impossible to document as anymore "real" than any other Ford OEM medium riser alloy intake manifold. The carb will need a total "restoration". When your done I'm not sure you got anything more valuable than two old carbs and an OEM medium riser alloy intake.

MUCH more rare is the High Riser dual four OEM alloy intake which typically sells for $600 to $700. A couple of old used Holleys might be worth $50-$75 bucks per carb.

4 to 5 hundred would be my guess.

Hey slick - I just sold my "C6..." date coded Holley for $200 and that Dual Point dist. for another $200 - I guess it's more than you were going to give. That along with my Sidewinder for $750 demonstrates that some of these "old parts" are worth something. My heads went for $2500 - much to my surprise. Ernie is right about proving authenticity on something like this - very few actually care that much and the carbs are going to be about $300-350 each to have professionally refurbished from Pony Restorers - the best around.
