That Shelby script intake is a 289 or a B2 intake? Got better pics of it?

Doug, it is a Boss 302 one. Heres a few pictures. Far right Is the shelby intake.Then next to that is a Boss 302 2x4 for regular Holleys? And then the dual dominator and then an Nos Transam intake and then over the counter 2x4 intake for a 289.

Thanks for posting. I discussed that B2 with Randy when one came up for sale and he said that it just didn't work on the B2 like it did on the Windsor heads.
Something about the rear carb being mounted too far back?

That's fine since it saved me $3,500. 8)

That's my NOS Trans Am BOSS 302 intake manifold. I talked Roy out of that intake a few years ago.

My wife is the best partner I could ever have had. While I still won't disclose the amount of money that you received for that intake manifold. It was the best part I ever bought, I have never looked back. Thank you for letting me buy it.
