Flathead intake ID help......Aluminum

[sodbuster]

I picked these up yesterday at the Recycling place where I take my cans. They are aluminum. I paid $10 for both of them, I just cannot find anything about them, I thought that most manifolds where cast iron. I called a buddy and he said that they sounded like "Canadian Flathead Intakes".

Thanks,

I think the "Chunkier" one is a 32-38 model Ford

The other one with the more pronounced runners looks like a 39-42 intake. But since it's aluminum, I'd gues Merc or Canadian Ford.

The one with clearly visible runners is 1937 passenger, probably used in at least 1938 too. The other is 1934. Most passenger 1930's intakes were aluminum, trucks iron. Later, everything was iron except for Canadian stuff.

Thanks for clarifying Bruce.

My guess was broad... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Thanks Bruce, I thought of you when I posted this. I figured you would let me know the year of it.

Thanks again,
