looks like some sort of intake manifold with a water thermostat housing connected to it :scratch:

Supposed to be for an FTO, but doesnt look anything like the stock throttle body. I wonder if is meant for one of the 70s vintage FTOs. Would it be a twin carb throttle body by any chance....

Its certainly not for an FTO. Its for a 4 cylinder & by the looks of it, its an intake manifold to suit Weber or Delorto carbs. Hence the linkage bar across it for the throttle cable. It may be 'FTO' because it might be suitable for the 4cyl Jap Galant that was considered the grand daddy of FTO's....

Yep, that was what I was guessing. There was an FTO though:
