A few issues to work on..

[Gaz]

Curious about current pricing for the intake, I Googled around for US suppliers, and was surprised to find that almost no-one is showing stock for the Ford M-9424-P46 at the moment. Summit the supplier normally recommended, do not have it. Maybe stock is drying up, even in the US.
Dorman may end up by being the only route to follow in the future. Pity.

I thought David made a good point here;

... more important though is to get your full membership sorted out, since I just noticed you still haven't done that, and not being "green", will be unable to read most of the vast amount of advice here you obviously need, in threads which are closed to you. Same applies to your questions in post #11, I'm afraid.
My £50 MGOC renewal just plopped through the letter box, obviously far from welcome, but worth every penny for the full Two-Sixties access.

All of the relevant information is on the forum, available to full members, if you seriously want to sort this problem then you need to get your questionnaire back to Tim and join the MGOC. That way you can do the research for yourself. Simples!

That's a Dorman (or rebranded Dorman-type) intake. Same as Amazon and RockAuto sell.
Has to be anyway, since the Ford one now carries an 'official' US price ticket of $390

Dead giveaways are the photos which show the multiple self-tappers, 23 individual port and water gallery gaskets, spacers and bracket fitting kit, none of which are needed with the original Ford item. Often relabeled with fancy names other than "Dorman", such as SKP, Autotecnica, ATP, A-Premium, GO-PARTS etc. etc. and widely available in the US, even Walmart!

Never used a Dorman myself, but reviews and Mustang sites say to avoid if possible; I was lucky and managed to replace mine with a genuine MGR NOS unit, the same as the Ford Performance one.
... but, if you are feeling brave, I think this is about the cheapest Dorman type, via Amazon.com (UK shipping estimate shown), at US$ 140:

My guess it is another consequence of Covid and the supply issues since, there are millions of these engines in a variety of vehicles. I am sure they will be back in stock one day. Is there no upgrade option? Probably going to be a lot more money.

Edelbrock do an alloy intake called the Victor Junior, https://www.americanmuscle.com/edelb...ld-9904gt.html
$480 + $160 for the special fuel rails and $169 for the low profile elbow.. and a standard throttle body and plenum won't fit either anyway!
Important to look at the video review on the American Muscle webpage too, I think; not really a regular road-use option?

Then there is the TrickFlow at almost $1500. I didn't look further into that.

Can't see anyone stocking the Professional Products Typhoon anymore, but here is a video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4S4nmbMlosw
Member 'Mike H' here has one fitted, and I read that it cost him $800 in 2007!
They claim only +11hp but Mike sys "it looks good"!

All are US prices for US customers, so for us there is always the delivery, tax and import duty to think about on top.
