    I have a Offenhauser 3 x 2 Nailhead intake. I believe it is off of a 322, but it has no casting number on it anywhere. i am looking for some help identifying it. It measures 8" center to center across the front bolt holes. I compared it against a 401 intake and I know it is smaller than that one, which measured 9".

    That looks like the 322 ci manifold, #3413.

    Offy made three different manifolds.
    #3413 Buick '53-'56
    #3557 Buick '57,'58,'59 LeSabre only
    #5190 Buick 401, 425 ci

    How do I know for sure?
    Did it not have a casting number?

    It looks like the smaller ports of the 322, but I can't tell for sure.
    Yes, there should be a 4-digit # cast in it somewhere on an Offenhauser manifold.
    I think Edelbrock stamped their numbers in.
