Default HO Stamp ON XR8

hey guys,

i was changing the leads and plugs on the XR today, so i had to take the cowling off the eninge. This is the first time i have done this since owning the car and i came across a HO stamp on the Manifold......which made me think of MOffat HO, idno if this is just standard or not though.

Anyone wanna shed some light on it?

heres a pic:

HO in this case = worst 5.0 injected manifold made by Ford for the 302

Almost! There was a lower powered Windsor fitted to the Mustangs with a worse manifold. The HO actually stands for High Output, which is a laugh.

But, on Aussie Fords, yes, the worst manifold available.

That's a Moffat HO manifold. They flow better than some of the manifolds on the turbo mustangs in america.

Another manifold to look at would be the professional products "typhoon" manifold. Its a knock off of the Edelbrock Performer manifold. Can be had for a reasonable price.
