    Not the stock cast iron stuff, but the aftermarket speed equipment that sprung up for this awesome motor. We're talking 1949 - 1962 Cad V-8 motors. I'm hoping this might be helpful reference to my Cad brothers...

    Here's what I have pics of:

    OFFY 2X2

    Anybody have a Detroit Racing 4X2 manifold? Horne? Sharp?

    You've got a rare one! The Detroit Racing stuff just doesn't come up that often.
    Anybody have a Horne blower manifold for Cad?

    thanks, i was told its hard to find one.
    apparently theres a kinda siamesed air cleaner available for it thats even harder to find, kinda two big round ones joined together so it looks like a figure 8 from the top. i like one of those as i dont really like any of the other filter setups ive seen for 2x4s.

    either that or id trade it for a 3x2 with carbs to open up my filter/stack options.

    I visited a Kiwi in te US a couople of years back with 3 Horne Cad manifolds (that i could see...) amoungst his treasures..... must see if he wants to part with on as I have someone down here looking for a multi carb for his mid 50's cad motor
     
  8. What about a CRAGAR blower intake? Here are some photo's I got off an Ebay auction.

    Actually, they're Pribble. Basically identical, except they say pribble. I dont know anything about them, except Kid Rocker on here has a set, and that 41 cadillac old custom has a set on them....Some jerk cut holes in them, and mounted those breathers...

    I found this picture in a magazine a while back... i think they might be the same pair. One of them is mounted crooked too... it's hard to say what they say though...
