Long Neck Gt40 Tubular??

billison · Sep 21, 2017

found this intake local for next to nothing. Original plan was to clean it up and use it. Once I got to mess with it I found body filler covering a weld. It's been extended to be the same length as a cobra intake. So it'll get cleaned up and sold. But what do you guys guess the point of extending it was? The car ran that it came off of, made decent power allegedly . Would still be running if it wasn't for a car fire.

They probably didn't want to run the EGR spacer and extended it to bolt the TB on directly. Did they attach mounts for the throttle linkage?

billison · Sep 21, 2017

Isn't all the linkage on the throttle body?

I'll have to look at it more to say for sure. I got it after work and didn't take much time to detail it.

Nope linkage bracket attaches to the egr spacer

billison · Sep 21, 2017

This is the car it came off of. Some 19 year old had it till it caught fire from connecting something backwards

I love the hack job throttle linkage with the 4.6l tb... oh and the ductape that says it all.

But yeah there is probably no provision for the fox linkage

At least it was cheap. I'll toss it on Craigslist and it'll go away. I figure worst case is I cut out the extension and weld it back. Not ideal but if that's what it comes to.

I know where a gt40 tubular intake is

billison · Sep 21, 2017

Anyone know what the intake is made of? Metal? Aluminum? Got a couple welder buddies

Noobz347 · Sep 21, 2017

Bill... I believe that it's aluminum, I "think" I recall reading that it is aluminum however, the only corroberation that I can find only mentions that the Cobra intake is a "cast version" of the GT40 Tubular.

I'll holler if you don't find a better answer. If aluminum, it would need to be TIG welded by someone that knows aluminum.

Mustang5L5 · Sep 21, 2017

It's aluminum, and yeah looks like they extended it to run an SN95 elbow. Don't know why because they could have done a fox TB conversion or installed the elbow as it was. I'm guessing no provision for a fox TB.

Edit: what's the part number on that intake? I bet it's a marine GT40 upper.

RaggedGT · Sep 21, 2017

I could weld it

billison · Sep 21, 2017

I've decided to just wire wheel it clean, fix the paint the best I can and move it down the line.

This was after a wire wheel and coat of primer. I listed it dirt cheap locally . I'll make back the cash but will loose out on all the driving I did to get it. I'm sure someone will be happy with it.

Thanks for the help guys.

It looks like they modified it to remove the "kink" that GT40 intakes have in that tube. My GT40 has 2 tall bosses that extend up and the tube from the TB to the plenum has a kink to provide clearance for them.

See this old classified link: https://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/threads/upper-and-lower-gt40-intake-manifold-used.801466/ and you'll be able to see what I mean.

As for the extension, I'm not sure what they were after there..

billison · Sep 22, 2017

I think that's exactly it.

billison · Sep 22, 2017

Didn't get a chance to pull the cover. Paid $100 and sold it for $200. Made a little. Local guy with a sn95 got it. Showed him the weird parts and he was fine with it. Kinda sucks, but oh well. I gotta car to paint. Maybe the next one will work out.

Did they do tubular marine intakes? The ones I've seen were cast.
