    A Generator.
    An old heater.
    A home made high ram (made from a FI base); I'm guessing THIS is what the question is about?
    A boat propeller.
    Some kind of a busted up industrial space heater.
    And some other junk.

  3. Is that a Small Block Ford intake? If it is then it looks like a large plenum four barrel adapter on a late model EFI intake.

  8. That intake is definitely late model small block Ford EFI.

    Having said that... the top looks like some sort of aftermarket EFI plenum that has been bastardized to accept a 4 bbl.

    Meth is a hell of a drug.

    Top looks like a FI plenum with a carb mount grafted on.

    The top half looks like a 4bbl spacer J-B Welded to a fuel tank from a "box type" Ker-O-Sun heater:eek:

    it does appear to be Ford, but not EFI intake as there are no bungs for the injectors

    Buckeye, that is one of my favorite sayings! I use it all the time! I heard it from a fellow worker, when I started out in this trade! It’s as funny now as it was then! It still gets funny looks when I say it! And, Hey, I bet your grampa was a great guy!

    Thing is, that doesn't look like a factory plenum that I've seen. Not that I've seen them all, but recall the Ford EFI plenums kinda hung over to one side.
