Question Intake manifold identification?

Just recently picked up an intake manifold, for a 351w EFI build, and it has "rf-e8te-9k461-bb" cast on it.

When I search this in google, all I've found, are other people listing it as an EFI 351w intake manifold; with no mention of whether it's a stock part, aftermarket (and if so, who made it), etc.

I just sized it up on my 351w, and it doesn't seem to be quite right. Ports aren't the right size. About 1/4th inch smaller than the heads. And it looks like I'd need a 4-5mm thick gasket, to make it seat properly...



There's a picture.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Looks too small to me.. Does it have any Ford casting marks anywhere on it?

Not that I could see. I stand corrected about it not fitting properly, turns out I had a broken bolt that wasn't letting the manifold sit properly.

It fits just fine, but the ports don't match the heads in size, and there's a bolt holes on the intake, that have no corresponding holes on the block. Specifically, there's one that's about an inch past the edge of the block. No idea.

Guy I got it from says he bought it off eBay, and it was advertised as a 351w manifold....

Just odd that I can't seem to find any references to it.

I do believe that is a truck 351 intake. The tab that sticks out past the end of the block is prob an upper to lower brace point. Not 100% but a decent guess.
