WTB: Intake manifold for 429/460 with spreadbore pattern

I have shoehorned a 429 into my 67 cougar. It's awesome, but I have very little hood clearance.
I want to use the Thermo-Quad from a 74 lincoln 460.

I have D0VE-C heads, so no CJ intake.
Don't have room for the edelbrock RPM. (too high)

Ford used the TQ carb on some (all?) CA 460s in 74.
I need that intake. Don't know the casting number, never seen this part.

I am in the midwest, so I will need it shipped.
Serious buyer.

Please PM me here if you can help me out.
thanks

8man I have a few,
You have pm..........

Have you checked out a Edelbrock torquer 2??? They are real close to a stock manifold height, might even be a little lower.

Last time I was at Lems he had a few of the Ford Racing ones on the shelf and they where priced right.

Torker intake uses the holley squarebore bolt pattern.

The one that I need takes a Q-Jet pattern.

The manifold for the ford spreadbore (4350) won't work either.
Primaries to close together, holley bolt pattern.

the ones I have are:
D3VE-8425
D5-9425-A3E
D6VE-9425-A3A
D9VE-????????
All are the Q-jet's? spredbore?, Is what I discovered was, ford put the EGR plate over the Q-jet ports, And turned them into the 4-hole holley. (as you stated, same stud pattern)...........
The EGR plates (that i have) are for the holley's... 2 were w/o the Egr plate Q-JET Style. Hope this makes sense.
If they had the GM style, as they used front bolts down from the top of carb. (i've never seen one)

Q-jet and Holley use a different bolt spacing. The ford spreadbore used the Holley
bolt pattern. Q-jet and TQ are different. The TQ will not bolt up to that manifold.

ok, I see what your looking for,
I dont have that one, i'll keep an eye out for ya. good luck!

I believe the casting number to be D4VY-9424-C.

Still looking. Let me know.

It's not a big deal to fit it on.......

Not a big deal...please explain.

I have the stock one that came off my '68 460. If I remember correctly it had a spread bore carb on it. I will check tonight. It would probably cost quite a bit to ship.

Sorry, mine is not a spread bore. Good luck with your search.

Just passing this on.

That intake is a CJ.

8man1320 why not just use the CJ intake? It will fit, just have to use a CJ intake gasket. Back in 1970 Ford recommended swapping the CJ/SCJ intake on to a std. port head for a 35 hp boost. Ford even used the iron SCJ intake on boat motors with D3VE heads for years, port mismatch and all. try it, you may like it...

That is interesting info. I am worried that with the head ports being smaller, the flow will be all jacked up.

Maybe not???

know with that big mismatch hard to believe it works, but it does just fine. Steve

X2they work better than the small port manifolds.

Can you drill and tap some holes? And do a little grinding?

Or if you can't just use a short adapter plate, they are available commercially. The torquer 2 manifold is much better than a stock iron one.
