No 1, I can’t find any new intake manifolds for the 250. I don’t really want to buy a used one on eBay. Just don’t know what you’re getting. None are available from any junk yards I called locally. I can get the exhaust. I was wondering what the square hole in the bottom did & I think it needs a plate over that? The Clifford intake is most likely the old style. I think the 2 barrel carburetor is a Ford too. I’ve owned this truck as is for about 17 years, never had a problem. You are correct. That flex pipe has been there the entire time. I put some JB Weld around the top, the bottom has a clamp on it. I just got the old headers & pipe off the truck. It needs new from the motor to the tailpipe. I just found a header at Summit Racing, deep, so it would need the revisions done too.
