factory 427 High Riser intake
factory 427 HR single 4 bbl intake , I believe to be used on 427 comp cobra's. The intake originally was cast with a "4 hole" style carb pad, but someone modified it like a modern intake, with two large openings.

48mm IDA weber vs 58mm weber intakes
On the top is a new blue thunder 48mm IDA intake, with a 10 degree canted mount angle.
Below is a 1960's Hilborn Fuel injection system for a ford 427 with High Riser heads. The system consisted of two pieces, two banks of 4 throttle bores, of 2 7/16" (62mm) diameter, that are bolted to the top of the intake. I believe the intake has the 58mm weber bolt pattern and spacing. As you can see, the throttle bores are straight up, not canted at all. A somewhat rare intake. It has been polished, and no identification marks are visable. This should make alot of top end power. I unbolted one of the fuel injection throttle body castings to expose the mating surface of the intake.
As you compare the two intakes, you can see the larger bolt pattern of the 58mm weber intake, as well as the larger ports. There isn't enough of material on a 48IDA intake to redrill for a 58mm pattern.

sprocket misalignment
I use a large piece of wood to block the ruler (caliper) then it is more convenient to check any misalignment (here there is .020")

C4 Servos
Comparison of popular Intermediate Servos for the Ford C4 transmission. The "C" one in the middle is the largest available, and came in 289 HiPo Automatic cars, including AC Cobras ( a couple dozen built) and Shelby GT350's.
It has been obsolete for years, and have become rather valuable for restoring "K" code automatic Mustangs and GT 350's.

ERA Trunk Dimples
The FIA trunk dimples, as done by ERA, are slighter larger, with a more generous radius than some others. They look just like the ones on CSX2345.
