Default Trickflow Intake

Hey everyone,

I am chasing Trick Flow Box-R-Series Intake Manifolds for Ford 5.0L (TFS-51511008), does anyone know where i can get one from, new or second hand and what sort of price i am looking at? from the states i can get them for around A$550 plus postage, but i am not all that keen to get just that send over.

cheers
mic

Mic,

There would not be many here in Australia, even less so 2nd hand.

The freight would not be that dear from the US, just go USPS, 7-10 days international.

essentially its not that hard to swap intake manifolds, the only tricky part with this setup will be for a replacement in an AU to setup all the vacuume lines that are required, such as brake booster, etc etc

i have chosen the Box Type R setup due to the new setup i am going to run, however there are more straight forward replacement manifolds for the current AU setup (TFS-51511003):


cheers

Freight is reasonable from the states if it is sent via usps (7-10 days usually). Remember if the weight goes up too much they wont carry it... and we might need to send in seperate boxes, also got to stick under $1000 or get stung gst.

I so want to order a set of alloy heads for the chev whilst the dollar is so good, but i gotta get it on the road first.

Mic - PM me when you got the money spare and we'll get this order going...
