So waht is different from the production ones we have now?  You still have to pull the upper intake to get at anything.  I always wanted that BXR when it first came out, just to be different.  Always liked that Roush intake too.
Now if anything, I want the GT40 tubular upper, (already have the Explorer one) or the SSI intake.:cool:

I'd love to find a Roush floating around out there in cyberspace (or at a swap meet) but I bet it would cost as much as a supercharger. I always thought the BXR was cool too but I think it was around $3000... That's alot of coin for an intake. I wonder how many were actually produced?

I thought you said "old school."

Whatever that means.  I don't think anything whipped up in the '60s is all that old... but these may qualify.  :)

Well according to most 5.0 = injected and 302 = carbed.

So the ones I posted were the first of the aftermarket 5.0 intakes.

That Vortech intake is "old school?" I thought they were still making that thing.

Ok, where does my 5.0 fall? Sorta EFI and sorta Carb?

100% EFI. Just a primitive version of it.
 
That Vortech intake looks like it was cit and welded. I'm liking that BXR though. Really liking that Cobra carbed intake too, though with 4 2bbl carbs it'd likely be a pig to tune

As much as those weber carbs & intakes cost, they should be ready to run out of the box. I got one of their catalogs years ago and yowza!

Sorry to hijack with a dumbass question, but there is a 2 barrel CFi ( I have it), Is there a 4 barrel version? And if I wana go preformance, do I go "Hi-Po" 2 barrel intake or a 4 barrel with a 4-2 barrel adapter?

Notice the secondary injector bungs.  When this thing first came out, there were no big injectors, so big power supercharged cars had to run 2 sets, on on the motor and a second set cam online with the boost to supplement the first set.
