Is this some kind of conversion kit

Saw this on ebay and not sure if understand this correctly the auction title says "LINCOLN MARK VIII 1993-1996 "C" HEAD INTAKE TO B "HEADS"" Is this some kind of conversion part to use a Cobra intake on Mark heads???

they are from a 99 continental.

means you can put a B headed intake on a C headed engine.

so basically, you could run a mark VIII intake on an 03 mach 1 engine.

Wouldnt a kick in the nuts be cheaper?

seems kind of bass ackwards

yeah. means you could put the mustang engine in your mark viii and run the factory intake for stock looks i guess.
because the 99 conti had c heads but they kept using the b head mark viii style intake.

but when you open yourself to the c head intake options, there are better options out there.

Didn't look at em too closely, but it would be nice to flip em over. Lol

It doesn't work like that.

It doesn't work like that.

I know. Wishful thinking. I want C heads but I don't wanna spend the money.

Wats the benefit or purpose. Aren't our factory heads better

As Chris said above, those are stock parts from a '99 Continental. Those cars had "C" heads with "B" intakes. They allow one to run an oval-port style "B" head intake (like the Gen 1 Mark 8 intake) on "C" heads.

I wouldn't classify "B" heads as "better" than "C" heads.

The B heads actually flow a little more but give up a fair amount of HP and TQ in the mid range to a tumble port or C head. If all out top end HP is your goal B heads will do the job but the C head will make more power through the curve on a street car.
