I agree with Larry. I have not seen such an installation photographed or documented before retail delivery for any 260/289 c.i.d. powered Cobra. If it was done it was a secret I guess.
The regular production option was one of several low rise aluminum 4V intakes and a small Holley carburetor between about CSX2018 and CSX24something. The racing option was the 4-2V Weber carburetor system until late 1963. In late 1963 the racing Stage II 2-4V system with Carter® carburetors was added for street and race. In 1965 two new street cars and one competition car were delivered with 1965 MUSTANG GT350 intake manifolds and carburetors. Based on the Registry only about 1.4% of new street Cobras were ordered with any version of aluminum 4V intake.
PS There was a 3-2V carburetor set for 260 c.i.d. engines and a different set for 289 c.i.d. engines. Kits were to be ordered by engine size. Ford Motor Company offered installation / linkage kits for selected Ford vehicles separately.
