I got the engine with all that installed. The intake wasn't on it, so I don't know if it was carbed or injected. That's the issue.

Yeah, go a couple pages back. I have all that information posted. I believe your the one that said it was from an 87 bronco and from my understanding that it is a HO motor.

That's what I thought. The guy I got it from said it was from a mustang, but I posted the casting number and someone said 87 bronco. So I never found out for sure.

there is no way to tell if it came out of a bronco. its a truck engine. the intake you have is not a bronco one. this is the bronco intake

The intake is from a 91 mustang. I'm almost positive it's an 87 bronco.
