Does someone here has the chance to measure the length of the valve stem? I just want to find out the correct length or order number at Dill.

@Bob there is a Made in USA cast on the underside of the intake.

I am surprised that Blue thunder went to the trouble of getting Ford licensing on the small volume item. That is the first C7ZX blue thunder intake that I have seen or heard of that have that trademark.

Thank you Bob exactly what I thought but look at the underside and you see its definitely a repro.

@csheff do you have a picture of the underside from the intake? I just try to figure out what are the main differences between the originals and Blue Thunder with the FoMoCo logo.

I have such a tool maybe this will work for you?

@Bob which thread would be informative when it comes to this?

Yes I have seen one in real and you can see it that it's not from the 60s. But as Bob said a nice addition.

What I dont understand after having far over 300 Mustangs that the most unrestored ones I had where black undercoated and just on some edges and corners red what I think was more because the black paint faded away.I know the red oxide was on all Mustangs as it was the base/ primer/ rust protection but how is it coming that the most mustangs have the pretty much similar black protection? Did Ford coated some of these black for the rust belt areas or really the dealerships? I only wonder because a lot of the Mustangs I know have a very similar black coating.

I know a guy who is selling a C7ZX original intake that is really nice modified. I f you are interested please let me know.

Very nice to hear that under the circumstances everything is ok with both of you. I like your way to look forward. Thats a very good thing. I wish you all the best.

Awesome that sounds like a good family event then.

Pocono would be nice but what is Kalihari? I loved the SAAC Meet in Wisconsin at Road of America. Nice weather and wide open space, nice track.

Prayers send out that everybody is ok. It looks brutal.

The damage is easily way over 100.000k I would say if you make it right more close to 175.000-200.000$ depending on which parts are damaged. I had a similar repair going on here on a 68 GT350 and the front end in original/ NOS or perfect repros was really hard to find and very expensive. It good that the car has a roll cage if you see the pictures it helped.

Yes but that was not the only problem. And I would have the correct hood for it and a lot of other parts. But even that wouldn't be enough to bring it back to more correct.

i was there my highest bid was 110.000 Euro and this was the absolute limit for me. Online Bidder paid 120.000 Euro. I inspected it for 3 hours and I'm very fine that I didn't won as the 110.000 bid from me was also maybe a bit over what I thought to be ok but it was there and ready to go so I set my limit higher than I normally would. I wish the new owner a good time with it.
