Technical multi make intake manifolds?

sombody please refresh my memory is it EARLY V-8 Packard,Studebaker, and Cadillac intakes that all interchange?
thanks

 

No.

 

V8 Packard and Studebaker were the same engines. Studebaker intakes will not fit Cadillac but if you shorten a Cad intake about 1/4 in it will fit a Stude engine.

 

An intake made for an early Cadillac V8 can be made to fit a Studebaker V8 with a little modification, but it is a little too big.

Packard V8 is a completely different engine and no parts interchange.

Just to confuse things further, 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk used a Packard V8, and 1957 and 58 Packards used a Studebaker V8.

 

Yes and no. Packard had their own V8 and so did Stude. There were no interchangeable parts but, as stated, Golden Hawks used Packard engines and the last Packards were thinly disguised Studes.

 

Just to confuse things further, the same Packard v8 was used in full size Nash Ambassadors in 55 and the first half of 56. After that, they came out with their own 327 . -dd

Not exactly. Wrongo on both counts.

The 1951-64 Studebaker V8 and the 1955-56 Packard V8s share no parts in common.

To set an early Cad OHV8 iron intake on a Stude V8 no shortening necessary. The Cad bolt holes have to be slotted and the ports won't really align that well.

Since the 2x4 Cads became available, they've been the CASO way to get a 2x4 intake and carbs on a Stude V8. The aftermarket aluminum Cad 2x2, 3x2, 4x2 and 2x4 and even 4-71 GMC blower intakes have also been kluged onto Stude V8s

OT and going in the other direction, Studebaker V8s have adjustable rocker arms and have been used on solid lifter Cad V8 builds since 1951.

thanks guys I knew that Studebaker used some Packard V-8 engines after the merger mistake most notably the blown 352 in the Golden Hawk and I recall reading here about Caddy intakes fitting other engines with some modifications

 

Wrong again. The 56 Golden Hawk used a Packard 352. No blower. After 56 the Hawk and Packardbakers and others used blown 289 Studebaker engines. You can see in this picture how much I had to stretch a Pontiac injector manifold to fit a Packard.
