Are COPO's, CJ's and Drag Packs good for our sport?

Ford Racing placed an ad in this weeks National Dragster, I though its pretty cool that they show support for not only the new cars, but the old ones also.

kdanner, I don't know why your having issues locating parts. PM and I will locate all parts that you need. They are available from Ford Racing. I assume when your talking about a zip tube, you mean the air intake. There is no air intake on the 5.0 N/A like they have on the supercharged combo. The part number for the COBRA JET 5.0L 4V INTAKE MANIFOLD M-9424-M50CJ*, and its the same as the as factory cars.

Jim, I assure you the parts will be around for a long time. You can build a clone CJ, 5.0 N/A or 4.6 for the same money you would spend I any similar older combo. You can pick up 2010 Mustang fairly cheap these days.

Ken I've already had that particular intake manifold since March and it is NOT the same as what came on the 3 factory built cars. Those had 3D printed intakes, not this multiple parts glued together with huge gaps on the inside like they are now selling. And, the 2013 NA 5.0 absolutely had an air intake AKA zip tube, see pic below which also shows the different manifold.

Finally, regarding your comment about parts being around for a long time, multiple 2010 CJ part numbers have already been turned off for some time now.

All I can tell you is the intake is listed in spec sheets submitted to NHRA and comes without the air intake tube just a throttle body. I beg to differ with you, I can purchase all parts needed to build any Cobra Jet combo produced.

I am sorry you are having such a difficult time building the combo you want. If you need help finding parts for your combo please PM.
