In the park I found...
So I was casually jogging in the park one morning, minding my own business, when I noticed what looked like a dead body hiding in the shrubs.
My forensic skills that I learnt watching CSI then kicked in and I went to investigate... This is what I uncovered.
Any guesses what it is?
I wonder if it fits to use in a cobra build...?

It's a Tunnel Wedge intake for FE. Either a Ford or Dove repro.
That's a $700+ manifold if it's uncut.
Amazing story. Keep looking in that park for the rest of the SO...

looks like junk.
put it in a box and mail it to me. I know how to properly dispose of.
I would 'do that' 'for YOU'.

Yep, worthless junk. Throw it in with the beer cans, have it recycled and do your part to save the planet.

I wondered where I left that. I'm so glad you found it for me. Let Me give you my address and shipping instruction so you can return it.

Found this in the weeds too. Can't find a casting number, but pretty sure it will fit a Cobra

Thats nuthin. I found a complete FE at the garbage tip once, but it was 30 years ago and only a 332 Y block, but I pulled the heads off and used them in my ski boat.

Experts tell me it's a genuine NOS Ford piece "C8AX-9424-A".

Very funny! Shoot me your address and I'll see what I can do.
Don't hold your breath, you'll have to fight it out with UNDY.
Besides, I jogged through a lot of parks and looked under a lot of rocks to find his one

Dear Rodknock, if I didn't like you so much, I'd be offended at you calling BS. Let me tell you "casual jogging" is what us pretend untalented athletes, aka "posers" do to pick up chicks
You might have noticed some of us at the gym you frequent.
NOW, if you had called BS on me watching CSI - then you'd be well within your rights  Who has time to watch tv?

Chas, you're mistaken.
Ill stick up for Brent here and say it's quite possible.
I jog with my stroller most all the time.
Here's a family photo at "Run for the Kids"
I'll even hazard a guess that those heads Brent posted are Ponds
I'll see what I can find in the next park I go casually jogging in.
