I was wondering if anyone knows anything about the Offenhouser 4Bbl intake. I have an early 2.8 v6 engine(I assume it was from a Mustang II), that has this intake on it. I assume it was aftermarket but wasn't sure. Any info would be appreciated. Thanx in advance !
Indeed, the Offenhauser 4-bbl. intake is a rare and highly sought-after performance part for the 2.8Litre V6s!
That intake, along with a Holley or Edelbrock carb (390-400cfm is the recommendation) will net you a very noticeable performance increase, and when driven conservatively, your gas mileage won't suffer as much as you might think.
Offenhauser also made a 4-bbl. intake for the 2.3 4-cyl. I'm looking for both of these intakes at the moment, one for my Mustang II (2.3), and the other for my dad's 76 Capri (2.8)
You've got a rare find there, you could keep it and take advantage of the performance increases that it'll offer, or you can sell it for a good bit of cash.

Thanx for the info ! I actually just took the engine with that intake out of my 84 Ranger. Someone had changed engines in it and didn't inform me when I bought it.Cost me a couple flywheels and starters.
Anyway, now I have a clue as to what I have here. I thought it might be somewhere along those lines. Thanx again !

I sold a complete race prepped 2.8 with the offy intake and hooker headers for a Mustang II. I posted it months ago and no one bought it. I even had 4 sets of NOS gaskets for each. If I run across any more I will grabem for you guys.

Well, at the time, I was waaay too broke to afford it.
I do appreciate the offer to grab up any you find though! (I can afford one now, and I'm actually gonna need one in the not too distant future)
