I've got a saleen vortech intake manifold that I'm in the process of installing into my 1992 5.0 coupe. Problem I've into is that it doesn't have a vacuum tree to run pcv, fpr, among other things. So, does anyone know where I can get a vacuum tree for this intake. Or what other Ford vehicle I can pull this vacuum tree from. Maybe someone has a spare one they'd like to sell that'll work. Here's a picture of a saleen intake I found online that's running it in the back.
Thanks in advance!

I beleive those intakes are Saleen-branded Holley SystemMAX intakes



Knowing that might help tracking down the info you need

They make new pistons every day, so why worry?

It's a nice replacement for the stock vacuum tree mounted on the firewall. I've seen several in person and it is top quality!

Looks like you could use one from any stock efi intake as long as there is room. You are talking about the tree that attaches to the intake not on the fire wall, right?

I have not looked lately, but there was one floating around on corral in the classified area. He wanted top dollar for it though.

That's the one I was referring to. He won't budge on the price either.

$800 would be fair, maybe even low if the lower wasn't messed with.

There are two saleen forums online, check them, these intakes are for sale fairly often, but expect to pay up, those guys know which ones are the most valuable.

For the record, it's only a good intake for a stroker or supercharged car.

Those intakes have been bringing a premium for some time now. But here recently their bringing huge money. The older Dixon style intakes are fetching $2-3000.
I paid $700 for this Vortech labeled intake for my SSC 10 years ago.
Then I polished it and made a custom plenum plate for it.

At least they look good. Like the original GT40 intakes, they command top dollar, but don't perform worth a damn. Still thought....easy on the eyes.

I've wanted one ever since seeing this picture almost a decade and a half ago....
