From your picture, yes there is a MR intake sitting on HR heads, as I can see the gap between the valve cover and intake.

From what I've read about it, I think Ford offered over-the-counter crate Nascar motors, with High riser heads, and a single 4 BBL intake and carb. I have a single 4 bbl intake for a High Riser, C4-something, and the correct LeMans Holley, 3255-1, which is listed as the Hi-Riser race engine application from Holley's ID book. I think some original comp cobra's came with aluminum High Riser heads and a single 4 BBL intake/carb.

I want to say that the Nascar rods were cap-screw type, like the LeMans rods, only with wider bearings. So, if they are not cap screw, they may not be Nascar Rods.

It sounds like a great engine, but the price is too steep for most people. Good luck trying to sell it.
