    Look for more goodies...and if your friends Grandpa is still alive or any of his friends it may lead to more discoveries...Carbs are Ford script Holley 94's with inline six manifold that's my measly analysis...there will be more and nice score...

    Can you see or decipher first word of Company on the manifold Wicson? Engineering

    I sent you a pm, it appears to fit a Continental engine judging by "Continental" as seen on the casting.

    My Continental flat 6 only has 4 ports for the intake..they all appear to be the same size (just viewing the intake manifold)

    Continental engines looked more like Chrysler flatheads then anything else

    Do the carb flanges look like they've been altered? That manifold looks like it would fit a Continental if you flipped it upside down and ran two updraft carbs on it, but I've never seen an updraft carb with a three bolt flange.

    Nicson was into marine stuff. I had a boat that had Nicson wet exhaust manifolds on a 428 Ford. They also made In/Out, V-drive boxes. I don't recognize the intake manifold pattern though.

    sure looks like it would fit my ford flathead 6,ports in the right place.ford flathead 6 was used in a couple of different boats,but the carb surfaces are usually at an odd angle to make up for the nose high mounting of the engine

    I have absolutely no idea at what it is, but that has never stopped me from offering my opinion before.

    yes, it does. But the bolt holes are not in the right place, and the AMC is not a Continental. And I think the AMC motor was introduced after Nicson quit making intakes for 3 bolt carbs.
