Default 8ba aluminum intake

Did Ford ever make an aluminum intake manifold for an 8Ba?

I have a set of Aluminum C8CM heads and and and an C8CM intake manifold. If they made 'em for Canadian Mercury's, they probably made 'em for Fords.

If you are looking for these items, put a wanted ad here on Fordbarn, on the Early Ford V8 Club's website and on some of Facebooks early Ford pages. There are many Canadian early Ford enthusiasts who watch and post on these sites.

yes not an 8BA but my 59A engine (C59A) has an aluminum intake which is the norm for kiwis as our stuff was most ex Ford Commonwealth Plant in Canada. Heads are cast iron C59A but I have seen aluminum heads for same block too.
