Black, cast Iron intake manifold was standard fare for 289 Highperformance from for in 271 HP trim. Shelby aluminum high rise and upgrade Holley and Tri Y headers boosted to advertised 306 hp which was carried over to the Mustang. I think the September 1963 Motor Trend Magazine has a real good under hood shot of very early 289 Cobra with a generator. It shows a lot of detail.
