Would love to have one, but too rich for me.
Cool to see it though.............

That's interesting, there was a 430 with that intake for sale locally for a while for $2,500. It also included a boat and trailer from the same time period....

Not sure what happened to it.

It intrigued me, but I figured the wife might not appreciate another boat, or even another motor in storage...

For a state that has the toughest smog laws in the
country, why does it seem all the parts for old,
high smog vehicles seem to be out there.

Wow, that's almost as much as I paid for my whole '66 Thunderbird!!

Note: For those interested, I don't believe this "tri-power" set-up is an original O.E.M. 1958 "Super Marauder" item (nor do the individuals who listed it claim such).

The intake appears to be a reproduction, and the carburetors are not of the type used, although the carburetor throttle bodies may be of O.E.M. Ford tri-power linage (FE or S.B.) they are not original "Super Marauder" units. The fuel bowls are not correct for any of the O.E.M. assemblies.
