I just received the first shipment of Offenhauser Caddy 2x2 intakes, part number 1080! Offenhauser did a partial first production run. I only received half of my order. Orders that were presold will be shipped in the order I received them. The manifolds look GREAT! I should receive the balance of the presold manifolds at the end of January or first part of February. This will be a stocking number at Exeter Auto Supply. Both verisons (3 bolt and 4 bolt carburetor pads) will be available. Dan Marvin, Owner Exeter Auto Supply 559-592-2707
What would be the best carbs to run on the 4 bolt pattern? Its got to be period though.... say nothing newer than 1953. ???
The cost of the manifold is $379.99 plus shipping for non-Alliance members. For Alliance members it is $360.00 plus shipping. It is availalble for the 3-bolt Stromberg/Holley carbs or the 4 bolt small base Rochester 2GC carburetors. These are not repops! Offenhauser located the original patterns and tooling for these manifolds. Dan Marvin, Owner Exeter Auto Supply
That looks like the perfect intake for a vintage caddy build. The price seems more than fair when you consider the price some of the old stock are bringing and your starting with a new piece. Frank
Very nice looking piece. Always nice to see new product with the right kind of style and character. Looks great.
Well, I don't know about the caddy stuff, but I do know that Offy's dual quad manifold for the 401-425 nailheads actually flows worse than the stock piece, so......
Between this, and hildebrandt valve covers being re-poured, and the new Strombergs 97's....I see a resurrgance in Cadillac performance engines. I already have an edelbrock 3x2 cd-693 for my new build...but I might need to pick one of these up too... Charles
in your photos the intake looks like it is for a boat . the angle is steap. are these all machined this way???
