Try e-bay 427 ford, parts and acc
momarkmach1 Try e-bay under 427 ford, parts and access. Are you looking for single plane or dual. Other question, Tunnel wedge intake ? Tunnel port is that, MR heads get MR intake. Rick L.

I do monitor ebay for FE Ford Goodies like most of us , I Missed out on a tunnel wedge intake a few weeks back as someone made a deal to end the auction . The intake that I seek is Ford part # C8AX-9424-A , it is a single plane , dual four made for the medium riser heads . I believe it was only offered over the counter as a racing manifold . It is supposed to get the medium riser right up with the high riser and even damn close to the tunnel port except for the last 600-800 RPM . It resembles the tunnel port intake very much with the exception of the obvious port shape at the head /intake mating surface . Thanks

It's clear that you want an original, but if you have no success, Jim Dove makes one. I have it and pics are in my gallery.
|
And DSC sells them. www.dscmotorsport.com
Dove bought much of the old Ford tooling and I'm pretty sure this version is from the original Ford casting. |
I'm still unclear on the difference between tunnel wedge and tunnel port. TP pics I've seen, the oval ports are huge and require matching intake\heads. I assume the tunnel wedge also requires matching intake\heads and the ports are larger than a high riser but smaller than a TP? Some pics of the intake ports would be nice (Wedge).
The TP has ports that flow around brass tubes housing the push rods. Not so with the Wedge? |
E here's a Dove from DSC on ebay item # 110079576096. The Tunnelwedge can be used with medium and lowriser (with a port mismatch on the LR) heads. It more or less the same top as the tunnelport but goes into a MR base. Pushrods retain the normal position as other FE intakes. Dove also makes a highriser version of the tunnelwedge (for your HR bud!!) that can be seen on the DSC site. No one seems to post pics of the TW ports tho!! Sorry...but I can send you a bunch of tunnelport pics if you like!! :3DSMILE:

e-bay link isn't right...
Found this pic on carlsfordparts.com. Yup, it appears to be a 'wedge' instead of an oval intake. This particular pic is a high riser tunnel wedge listed for $950. A medium riser tunnel wedge listed for $750. Hmmmm, tempting to buy that high rise tunnel wedge, looks MEAN!! :D http://www.carlsfordparts.com/parts_...ure%207_14.JPG |
Sorry E I fixed it. Shudda been a 5 at the end not a 6.
Yep that would look pretty neat-o ontop your highriser!! |
I have one. I sent you a PM.

OK Guys ,
Intake no longer needed , I worked out a More than Fair deal with Carl Binius at Carls Ford on a ORIGINAL FORD TUNNEL WEDGE unit and it even still has the factory saftey wire on the lower plate bolts ! He also made me a great price on a pair of 660 Holleys that Holley is remaking for him with correct part #'s and todays manufacturing improvements . He even threw in a fuel log and 2x4 linkage to close a deal , Have no doubt , Carl knows the FE Fords . Thanks For all the tips and direction .
