Hi, Anthony:
The intake you speak of should fit fine under the stock hood of a Tiger. My
only question is, since it was not an original intake for a Tiger, why would
you want it? If you are looking for ultimate performance, the newer style
Holley or Edelbrock intakes are better units. If you are looking for
factory high performance options, then you need to find either a "Tiger"
lettered intake or an Edelbrock F4B. I'm quite sure that, if the intake is
indeed the small letter "Cobra" unit that was on the Cobras and '65 Shelbys,
its owner is wanting a pretty penny for it; probably more that you would
have to pay for either option I mentioned above.
Having owned a '65 Shelby G.T. 350 in the past, I can vouch for the rarity
of that intake. Depending upon the end result that you want, why not look
at the other options open to you and let a Shelby or Cobra owner have a go
at that one?
Just a thought,
Andy Walker
