Can anyone identify this Chevy intake? No numbers or names are present. Sent from my iPad using H.A.M.B.
I’m thinking it’s for a blower. Just needs another plate or inner cooler; I don’t see port dividers if they are there.
It is aluminum. It had a flat aluminum plate bolted to the top for carburetors, but that did not appear to be the original intended use. Sent from my iPad using H.A.M.B.
It would be helpful to see a picture of the intake with it's plate on it. And the picture showing the whole intake, including the ends. And perhaps the underside of the intake, just for fun. Perhaps pictures from a couple different angles, so we can tell if the top surface is at the same angle as the bottom, or a different angle. might give us more clues as to what it is, which we need, because it's a strange one!
Interesting manifold. I've seen something very similar on air compressors made from converted Chevy small blocks. They had an air filter assembly attached to the manifold top. Sure looks like one of them to me.
Ya its like them pics on Craigslist car for sale and they have one picture.....and its of the interior. The one pic that is there shows what appears to be the oil fill/breather tube, so that would be for a older engine...could be a blower manifold that has had the outer support ribs machined off, if there was a picture of the supposed plate ..carb plate?...that was said to have been removed ...that would give some better ideas. The inside casting looks like its for that particular application, what ever it is, if it was a standard manifold with the top shaved off for a blower plate it would have different casting in it..so who no....I guess thats still the question. Here's some ideas...yes its for a ford .. but similar idea? Sent from my SM-T307U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
this is a creitz, it has a name on it, and does bear some resemblance, but it does not look like it. The mystery manifold looks more like a production part.
Bottom of an original Ridge Runner intake? Ralph Ridgeway started with bed and runners from a Rochester fuel injection unit.
Creitz also used an open type plenum and NO port separations. Not saying it's a Creitz, and I don't think it is I originally thought the ridges in the intake floor were for a marine use, but after seeing them underneath also, ruled that out. I'm not sure about the "compressor" use, but who knows? Can anyone post images of the compressor use? Stick it on E-Bay as a Corvette part, someone will buy it. There's a guy trying to sell a 60's style, Winters aluminum casting, WCFB/43-Jet carb mount, as a "Corvette, 340 HP 327 intake", even though I sent him an E-Mail about it being from a boat (I also have one). He's asking $650.00, I paid $60.00 for mine, and it too was listed as for a Corvette. Maybe it has a more "industrial" application? I am Butch/56sedandelivery.
