Hmmm.....that looks interesting. I'd be interested in knowing more.

 

Found it!

You have to find something to do with that 276 "Baby Hemi" after you steal the grille and splash pan out of the '53 DeSoto for your Merc. Hey, I have an idea. Bolt a 4-Barrel manifold on it and use the engine in the Merc too. Problem solved.

 

And bumpers and gauge cluster..........

 

Exactly, because these DeSoto cars were made ONLY to make Mercs better.

 

I've been saving a stock S21 with the original 4 bbl intake cuz it's scarce and cool --- now everybody can have one !! Durn !

 

Reviving an old thread is cool, but where does it tell us how to order one? I sent them an email 4 years ago an got no response; is it any better now?

 

Looks like the same one that HotHeads sells:

The price 4 & 2X4 Desoto OEM intakes have really tanked since this Thread started, what was going for 7-800 is under 300 now.

 

I recently bought a single four OEM tall deck intake for $50.

 

Great score!
