    Greetings all. I'm new to the site and am looking for any info concerning an intake I have. It is a "SHELBY" labeled aluminum manifold, and has to part number or firing order shown...

    I've looked at various sites and have not found on that is like it. I've attached a few pictures and if anyone can supply any info, I'd appreciate it greatly.

    Mitch

    Mitch,

    This looks like an over the counter manifold sold by Shelby circa 1968. Shelby put his name on many performance parts that were virtually the same as many Cobra lettered parts (intake manifolds, air cleaners, rocker covers, etc.). Many were made by the same suppliers as the Cobra parts. Performance wise the manifold was the same as the COBRA lettered intakes, however, it looks like someone had the center dividers milled out to "improve" performance. This manifold was never installed on a production vehicle, much less a Shelby. Hope this helps.
