I can't remember at the moment. But something doesn't line up with the cobra intake manifold when you try using the continental adapters. And Todd is working on an adapter for 96-98 cobra upper lid to bolt on a 99+ lower intake(i think)

I think it would be cool to run the cobra b head intake on a c head engine. I think it looks better than the c head intake manifolds and it will kinda stealthy...

Thanks for posting up a link. I wish I had a C head lower to mess with, I'd take the bull by the horns and attempt to make my own adapter.

I've made an adapter from wood and it works, the problem is finding someone to water-jet it.

I think the conti had round/round manifold ports. Not sure if those adapters can be opened up to match.

They have a cast b head style intake with c heads.

Yes, but I think both ports on the intake manifold were round like the old mark intakes. Cobra b has one round one square.

I looked at my old imrc's of off my mark viii and they are two round ports on top and round & square on the bottom.

Based on what you said, I believe it's the same except the bottom is a C-head port.

Water jet? In my mind the adapter should be milled to match the ports on both ends.

But then again, I am not familiar with the capabilities of water jet. Can it cut a tapered port??

I have a line on some flat stock aluminum 1/4" thick. I haven't heard back from na svt yet. I may just attempt this on my own. I am going to start looking for a c head lower.

1/2" stock is required for the adapter.

the upper adapter requires no angled cuts.

NA SVT was talking about getting the adapter made to install the B head intake lid on a C head lower intake.
