C4SA COBRA 4V Intake Manifold

[Dan Case]

NOT MINE. This is not mine nor am I connected in any way with the seller but this piece is so rare I wanted to make an attempt to let early Cobra owners know that it is listed on ebay®

Based on the Holman-Moody intake they created for 260 c.i.d. Ford engines in the 1962-63 time frame this version has COBRA lettering where the Holman-Moody bird logo was in the original version. IMPORTANT: This intake is functionally a copy of a Ford cast iron prototype intake for XHP-260 and HP260 engines and is not suitable for 289 c.i.d. engines performance wise. These are rare. I have only come across five (5) of them in all these last five plus decades. It was a regular production option for early Cobras. A Holley R-2599 carburetor assembly went with the option package when ordered for a new Cobra.

Looks like there’s a Holley for it for sale as well:

The pictures are not very clear but it appears to be dated the fifth week of December 1964. That is past the point in time any new Cobra (any engine) is known to have been factory equipped with one.

260 engines in Cobras were long past by that time.
