Technican: Hello, May I suggest you contact the FIND PARTS feature right here at the Web Site? If they can find what you want, you'll know what will work. Just a thought,

Technican: Hello, What is happening here, please? Please advise.

Technican: Hello, Will you please take a moment and give me an update on this question? Thanks! Merry Christmas,

Owner: Vendors say it needs to be fuel injected. The bolt patterns look the same. I need to know if the carb intake will fit for a sandrail application.

Technican: I have only one more Ford technician that has the experience I hope will help us out. If he passes I'll release this question for others to step up. Its holiday season but I'll try to reach him anyway. If you need to move on before I get back to you then just release the question and I'll understand.

Owner: I have time to wait. This car can be VW based until I get an answer.

Technican: I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Technican: What I've learned is that the 2.8L intake will NOT work with the 2.9L heads. However, if you can get 2.8L heads of course the intake would work and the 2.8L heads WILL bolt to the 2.9L block. You lose horse power with the carbureator vs. the fuel injection. My contact says that to run the fuel injection 2.9L you would need a processor and a couple of relays and not much else.
