351C  INTERCHANGEABLE INTAKE

For the ultimate rare intake, have a look at this series of four pictures of Tom Frayer's recently acquired Interchangeable351C intake built by Shelby in the 1971 timeframe. This intake was designed with a series of replaceable top plates so that the discriminating owner could run either a single Holley 2 barrel, a 3x2 Holley setup, a 2x4 Holley setup and an inline Autolite four barrel. Interchangeable351C/1, Interchangeable351C/2,   Interchangeable351C/3, and Interchangeable351C/4 .  Recently Ron Duly took these three pictures of a complete Interchangeable 351C intake manifold complete with the 3x2 top plate along with a set of Corvette Holley 3x2 carburetors and linkage....Interchangeable351C/1a,  Interchangeable351C/1b,  Interchangeable351C/1c.  Very nice pictures and many thanks to Ron Duly for sharing them. 

A picture of another similar intake recently showed up in MUSTANGS & FORDS Magazine, October 1999 page 96. That intake belongs to Rick Kirk in Ripley, Oklahoma. Rick indicates that he acquired this intake with the carburetors in the mid 70s directly from Ford.  Looking closely at the carburetors, they are most likely a original set of Holley List 4782/4783 Vacuum secondary carburetors with side hung fuel bowls.  As Tom Vaught from Ford Motor Company indicates, these were developed specifically for Ford for the 429 6V intake as well as the BOSS429. They were also used on the Ford 366 Engine Program (CLeveland 351C 6V), but Holley had to sleeve them to reduce the airflow to make them work on the Cleveland motor.  When the program was cancelled for the Ford 366 Nascar Motor and the 429 and BOSS429 6V programs, Ford was no longer interested in these carburetors.   Holley asked the other manufacturers whether they were interested in these carbs and Mopar immediately  answered up, so Holley ended up producing this list series for Mopar.   After further changes, the carbs were converted to mechanical with full metering blocks, accelerator pumps and progressive linkage.  The carbs were offered as a performance option replacement for stock Holley Mopar SixPac vacuum secondary 3x2 carbs with a special Edelbrock produced set of progressive linkage and fuel log. 

How about Santee California's Fuzzy Knights very nice 63 1/2 Falcon Ranchero with original 260 V-8, 4 spd and  Ford Factory 260 6V with the very rare 260 Holley List 2667/2668 carbs restored by Rick Walker of El Cajon, Ca.
