Is This For A Oz 250 2V Head??
- Thread starter Mustang_Geezer
- Start date
If your refering to this picture, it sure looks like an Aussie 4V intake for the Aussie 250 2V head! With the exchange rate $250.00 AU$ is cheap and shipping won't be that bad as the intake is about 15lbs 
I can't tell if this is a Aussie 250 2v triple setup, but I'm sure our Aussie friends will know? But again at $199.00 AU$ it's cheap!
Now the bad news!
In Stock NO! On Order NO!

i think he was talking this:
The alloy head Weber intake manifold. A while back, this link had all the pictures. JD, engine supplier and Junkyard Dog for Jacks Mustang X-flow, supplied it.

I've got pictures of it mounted which would excite anyone!
There are two types. The early cast iron one with a water cooling passage in the manifold gasket face, and the later Alloy head type which has no external hoses.
The manifolds are the ultimate in performance. With a Pico/Weber DCOE 48 triple throttle body EFI system, it will produce as much power as its possible to flow through the little intake 1.6" ports.

Yep, Thats what I was talking about! I just ran across that website last night and I thought that there was no such thing as a "aftermaket" 4V intake for that head!
The listing says that they are for the "Iron head 250"
I wonder why they would even list it with if this is the case?

When the cross flows came out in 76 they were originally cast iron.
In 80/81 they went to alloy head. I suggest what you are looking at is the inlet for the cast iron head Xflow.

The 4-bbl Cain manifold won't fit any thing but the 1976 to mid 1980 cast iron cross-flow head.
Here are the two.

The grey iron one which fits your 4-bbl Cain.
And the alloy head, which may fits the triple Weber Intake if it doesn't have the collant water channel at the base of port No2.
The cast iron cross flow has bigger ports than the alloy head, but arranges them in a non-symetrical manner.
The Alloy head has 33 mm ports, the cast iron 40 mm. The rear most port is closer to the front of the engine by about an inch, and each port is a slightly different profile. This was done to fit the cross-flow in the Transit, Bronco, and late TD Cortinas without having to rejig the whole chasiss/firewall.

Cainy was a funny guy. He twigged early on, to the idea of good qualkity imported parts. Spec'd his own finish levels and had lots of chrome stuff punched out with his name on it. Not sure, but manifolds were probably cast locally. There were three - the two you see plus a Holley 2 barrel one.
p.s. another Lynx 2V triple Weber fanimold has shown up. Owner is seeking $1200 with carbs, fuel log and linkage.
Cheers, Adam.

Thanks for the tip on the TD I did not realise that an alloy Crossflow would not fit without mods to the fire wall. I wasnt even sure if a TD 1976 came out with a Iron head (did it?)

Tim, can't comment on the smog (ADR 27A) TD Cortina. I understand it was cross-flow for the months before the advent of the 1977 TE Cortina, as there was no way Ford Oz was going to place 'smog on the log' for those six months.
The Transit van was, in my opinion, the pinch point on the early cross-flow. It had to fit the huge, wide, heavy canted valve head in the confines of a tight engine bay cover with only small alterations.
Carnut1100 could tell you about it. He had to do some Hammer Time with a sledge to get his X-flow in there!
