Hey Dan, My car number is 923...that makes it an early car...?... Should have, would have, the 'COBRA' intake... unless customer installed...this was a drag car for years, makes it more than likely customer installed... Cevon...

Many early cars came with cast iron intakes that were swapped out for the high performance aluminums. This meant that the dealer was responsible for the install IF...the customer even brought the car in. This also meant that an over the counter intake or two could have been installed at the time, especially at the smaller dealers. This may or may not relate to your particular car. all the best, Dan Belick ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cevon Mclean" <cmclean@rbhnrc.usda.gov> To: <shelbymustang@carmemories.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 01, 2005 9:52 AM Subject: Re: 68 gt350 intake question,...quickie > Hey BG, > thanks for the info.. > Guess I will have to look for a "CORBA" intake.. > What should I pay for a super nice one? 400.00?.. > Cevon... > > Date sent: Tue, 1 Mar 2005 11:04:12 -0600 > Subject: Re: 68 gt350 intake question,...quickie > Copies to: shelbymustang@carmemories.com > To: cmclean@rbhnrc.usda.gov > From: Robert Gaines <bgaines@kc.rr.com> > > The aluminum intake used on a 68 GT 350 from the factory or on the iron > intake cars that were recalled, should have COBRA,not Ford or Shelby, > those were over the counter parts .

One of my cars was as early, it had one that said "Shelby". The motor had never been out of the car and had sat tince 1977. It was likely dealer installed at a later time, when the recall replacement was done. As you say, the Cobra intake is correct, S7MS. Just noting that not all cars got the correct thing at the time... all the best, Dan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cevon Mclean" <cmclean@rbhnrc.usda.gov> To: <shelbymustang@carmemories.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 01, 2005 11:10 AM Subject: Re: 68 gt350 intake question,...quickie > Hey Dan, > My car number is 923...that makes it an early car...?... > Should have, would have, the 'COBRA' intake... > unless customer installed...this was a drag car for years, makes it > more than likely customer installed... > > Cevon... > > From: "D" <mmoguls@ispwest.com> > To: <shelbymustang@carmemories.com> > Subject: Re: 68 gt350 intake question,...quickie > Date sent: Tue, 1 Mar 2005 10:48:47 -0800 > > Cevon, > > Important to remember that the intake was an update/recall item for 68. > Many early cars came with cast iron intakes that were swapped out for the > high performance aluminums.
