1974 Mustang. Intake manifold and carburetor questions.

My '78 2.8 II had the Motorcraft 2150 on the original motor. The '76 2.8 II motor I dropped in there had a 2100 on it. Pretty sure '74 was a changeover year, some may have had 2100's and some went to the 2150's. They're basically the same carb +/- a few features (variable air bleed primarily). That nice tag could help you determine which one. Looks like a stock carb in a stock configuration and stock orientation.

What intake are you referring to that has the carb oriented differently? What i see in this pic is the normal stock orientation for the normal stock throttle and kickdown linkages.

Our 74 Ghia 2.8 V6 came with an aluminum "Ford" intake and carb which was actually a downdraft Weber. We replaced the 74 motor with a 76 which had the cast-iron manifold and carb in your picture.......

My* 77 2.8 has an oem aluminum Intake a motorcraft 2bbl 2150 I think Its original to the Z code 104 hp 2.8.

My 74 mustang was equipped with a 2.8L which was seized. Everything I still have of the stock engine is the intake manifold and the carburator...
I can offer to make some pictures, if it helps you with your research. From memory it is a reproduction of a weber weber 32/36 carburator made by holley…
If you wan't to convert it back to stock for "matching numbers" purpose, I'm also willing to sell both.
