THIS IS ANOTHER RARE PIECE FROM MY PARTS COLLECTION....THIS IS SOMETHING I ONCE THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER SELL....BUT....PRIORITIES CHANGE WITH TIME, AND I COULD USE THE FUNDS TO HELP WITH THE CURRENT HOME IMPROVEMENTS...PLUS...I HAVE JUST DECIDED THAT MY 2.8 V6 DAYS ARE BEHIND ME NOW....SO IT IS TIME FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO ENJOY THIS RARE PIECE.THIS INTAKE WAS ACQUIRED FROM AN ACQUAINTANCE THAT NEVER USED IT EITHER. HE OWNED IT FOR ABOUT 23 YEARS...AND I HAVE OWNED IT FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS. IT HAS NEVER BEEN BOLTED ONTO AN ENGINE...THE PLENUM HAS ONLY BEEN SNUGGED TO THE LOWER HALF FOR FITTING AND TO KEEP THINGS "TRUE" WHILE BEING STORED...WE DID NOT WANT ANYTHING GETTING WARPED FROM SITTING FOR YEARS WITHOUT THE TWO HALVES BEING MATED PROPERLY. THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST "COMPLETE" OFFENHAUSERS YOU WILL EVER FIND FOR YOUR 2.8...AND I SAY THAT LOOSELY BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW IF ANY SMALL PIECES ARE MISSING OR NOT...BUT AS YOU CAN SEE...ABOUT THE ONLY THING MISSING IS THE ORIGINAL OFFY BOX AND THE MAIN INTAKE MANIFOLD TO HEAD GASKET SET, WHICH IS ALSO FOR SALE ON EBAY CURRENTLY. I'M INCLUDING TWO WATER NECKS THAT I HAVE ACQUIRED OVER THE YEARS, ONE IS A FORD, THE OTHER IS AN OFFY, OR A U.K. PIECE, NOT SURE WHICH. THERE ARE ALSO A FEW OTHER WATER NECKS FOR SALE ON EBAY CURRENTLY...THEY AVERAGE 50 CLAMS EACH. ALSO INCLUDED IS A NICELY RE-FINISHED FORD DIPSTICK FROM A 1976 MUSTANG 2.8, ONE OF THE MANY V6 PARTS I NO LONGER HAVE A NEED FOR. YOU CAN HAVE THE WHOLE "KIT & KABOODLE"...SO TO SPEAK...EVERYTHING YOU SEE PICTURED...FOR ONE REASONABLE PRICE, INCLUDING FREE USPS SHIPPING WITHIN THE CONTINENTAL U.S.A.....THESE MANIFOLDS ARE STILL BEING SOLD BY A BIG NAME STORE FOR 479 CLAMS EACH...AND I DOUBT THEY EVEN COME WITH GASKETS...SINCE THEY SELL THEM AS A SEPARATE GASKET KIT. THIS ONE HAS THE PLENUM GASKET ON IT ALREADY...BUT IT HAS NEVER BEEN TIGHTENED FULLY...OR GLUED, OR SILICONED, ETC, ETC. THIS INTAKE IS BASICALLY AS PERFECT A SPECIMEN AS YOU ARE LIKELY TO FIND ANYWHERE...AND YOU KNOW IT WAS MADE IN THE U.S. OF A!...AND NOT YOU KNOW WHERE...AS IT WAS MADE HERE IN 1982! SO, WHETHER YOU HAVE A RANGER.....OR BRONCO II....OR A MUSTANG II...OR PINTO...OR A TVR...OR A SUNBEAM...OR AN MGB....OR A CAPRI?.,...WHAT EVER YOUR FLAVOR OF 2.8 V6 POWERED RIDE IS? THIS IS THE INTAKE YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR....IF YOU ARE USING U.S. STYLE HEADS...NOT THE EURO HEADS WITH THE SEPARATED PORTS....ON YOUR 2.8 COLOGNE V6... OR THE U.S. 2.8 HEADS ON YOUR EARLY 2.6 V6....THEN THIS IS THE INTAKE FOR YOU! =) THIS INTAKE MANIFOLD ALLOWS YOU TO RUN A SMALL HOLLEY 4BBL CARBURETOR....OR TWIN WEBERS WITH THE SPLAYED CENTER ADAPTOR.....OR SOME MODIFIED TBI INJECTION? OR DARE I SAY, SOME MODERN AFTERMARKET 4BBL THROTTLE BODY STYLE "ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTON" ( i.e. "FAST" sells a nice Jeep kit that would be just about perfect for a 2.8 ) IF YOU WERE SO INCLINDED!!! WHICH WOULD MAKE AN AWESOME RUNNING 2.8! =)...I JUST WISH THAT STUFF HAD BEEN AROUND BACK WHEN I WAS STILL INTO THE 2.8...sighhhhhh...ANYHOW, THIS IS ONE OF THE RAREST INTAKES YOU WILL EVER TRY TO FIND, AND IF YOU READ THIS WHOLE THING, THEN YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT =)THANKS FOR STOPPING TO TAKE A LOOK, AND AS ALWAYS, HAPPY EBAYING! =)I SHIP VIA USPS MEDIA, FIRST CLASS, PARCEL, OR PRIORITY MAIL, WITH OR WITHOUT INSURANCE, HOW IT'S SHIPPED WILL BE MY CHOICE UNLESS YOU ARE PAYING FOR ALL SHIPPING AND INSURANCE COSTS YOURSELF, COSTS DEPEND ON YOUR LOCATION.

MY FATHER LEFT THIS LIFE IN OCTOBER, 2008, THEN MY UNCLE DIED A WEEK LATER, ALL OF MY EBAY EFFORTS IN 2009 WERE DONE ENTIRELY IN THEIR HONOR. THEY WERE BOTH DECORATED ARMY VETERANS WHO SERVED OUR COUNTRY WITH PRIDE AND DISTINCTION. MY FATHER WAS A COLD WAR VET OF THE A.S.A. & U.S. ARMY SPECIAL FORCES, WHO WAS WOUNDED SEVERAL TIMES, WITH NO "OFFICIAL" RECOGNITION OF SAID ACTION. HE RETIRED A SHERIFF DEPUTY OF 25 YEARS FAITHFUL SERVICE TO THE DETROIT AREA. MY UNCLE WAS CAPTURED AT MONTE CASINO, BUT ONLY AFTER HE TOOK OUT SEVERAL ENEMY MACHINE GUN NESTS BY HIMSELF, AND LOST AN EYE IN THE PROCESS. HE WAS A P.O.W. FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WAR, MOST OF WHICH TIME WAS SPENT IN THE BRUTAL STALAG 2. HE RETIRED FROM FOMOCO AFTER 35 YEARS OF BUILDING CARS IN DETROIT. MY GRANDFATHER, WHO LEFT THIS LIFE IN 2006, WORKED AS A MILLWRIGHT AT FOMOCO IN DETROIT DURING WWII, HIS WORK HELPED BUILD TURRETS FOR THE M4 SHERMAN TANKS AT THE RIVER ROUGE PLANT, AND LANDING GEAR PARTS FOR THE B-24 LIBERATORS BUILT AT THE WILLOW RUN PLANT. ALMOST ALL OF MY UNCLES SERVED IN WWII, OR KOREA, ONE COUSIN WAS IN VIETNAM, SOME NAVY, SOME ARMY, ONE UNCLE WAS WOUNDED IN KOREA, ANOTHER NEARLY DIED AT THE RAMAGEN BRIDGE, AND YET ANOTHER WAS IN THE BATTLE OF THE CORAL SEA. THEY ALL SERVED OUR COUNTRY WITH HONOR, PRIDE, AND DISTINCTION, THEY HAVE NEVER GIVEN UP THE FAITH IN OUR GREAT REPUBLIC :) & NEITHER SHOULD YOU!!!!! SUPPORT THE TROOPS!!! EVEN IF YOU DON'T SUPPORT THE MISSION!!! YOU LIVE A FREE LIFE BECAUSE OF THE SACRIFICE THEY ALL MAKE EVERY DAY!!! I'VE LOST NO LESS THAN A DOZEN LOVED ONES AND FRIENDS IN THE LAST FEW YEARS, REMEMBER THOSE WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE US, WHO CAN NO LONGER GO WHERE WE GO, WE OWE THEM MORE THAN WE CAN EVER REPAY.
