i know that sometimes after a part is discontinued that a company will get the molds or blue prints or whatever and continue making the part again, so i was wondering if there was any company out there making the tubular gt40 intake in this nature, or if it is only avalible in the used market

You can only buy used ones at this point. Ford is not going to share the patent or let anyone else manufacture that intake.

I bought mine last yr for $250 and it was ported but during the same time I saw them as high as $600+. It's what ever the market will bear!
