do you have any of the above for sale or know of one that I can pick up? also, do you have any idea of which one is the lowest in height?? ;thanks mel
Mel, keep in mind that not all of the listed intakes interchange. If you find an Edmonds 2x2 it will be for the 51-53 331, and the 2x4 will be for a 54-331, both will have t-stat cast in. Yes, they could be used on later engines but they will not be a simple bolt-on. The Edmonds intakes are also a bit taller than later dual-carb intakes (like Weiand or oem) As to height, the 3x2, 4x2 and 2x4 inline will be the lowest due to the single plane design. .
Kerry, I may have been a bit vague, sorry if there is confusion. Obviously, the 51-53 has a 'port size' issue, and the 54 has the t-stat issue. If using a 51-54 intake on a 55-58 engine then 'something' has to be done with the t-stat(s), hence the 'not a simple bolt-on' statement. Nothing dramatic, just additional work to contend with. .
Either block off the Thermostat opening, or block off the front of the heads & use a 392 or chevy waterpump.
It's an old thread. but I just unwrapped this, hiding in the rafters. Was saving it for my 57 392 going into something project. Ready to go with rebuilt carbs, linkage and 2 new air filters 1634285 10/58 date
Maybe a silly question, if someone can help me with, are 354 & 392 intakes interchangeable? Thanks in advance
Yes the intake s will interchange as long as there both passenger car engines. Some 354 truck heads are slightly different in the heat riser area.
