Flathead Lincoln Muti-carb Manifold Source Found

I was at the Portland Swap meet yesterday and met Ken Austin. He is a custom intake manifoldl/pattern maker from Newberg Oregon. He makes dual and tripple '49 - '53 Lincoln manifolds. They run from $400 to $750. He will also make custom Ford flathead manifold w/ your name on it. I'm going to have him make me a dual high rise for my 59A. He only wants $400 for his custom manifolds. He also makes manifolds for V8 60s (Duals, triples & blower base) & Arduns. His company is "The Rod Shop", Manifolds by Ken Austin, PO Box 111, Newberg, Oregon 97132 (503) 349-1360




LINCOLN TRIPLE MANIFOLD

 

Another

 

Lincoln blower manifold. He also makes 21 stud, 59A & 8BA blower manifolds. He said he could custom make one for my GMC 453 blower that I have in my shop. Cool beans man!

 

That's pretty cool...maybe a bunch of us should chip in and have him make a flathead manifold branded HAMB, and we could auction it for the board.

 

That's a great idea. He was really a cool old dude that loved to talk flathead. I guess he has made quite a bit of Ardun stuff over the years & he started making manifolds in 1950.

 

thats great news! a buddy of mine has a big lincoln flatty & he's looking for speed parts. THANKS

 

Does he do Lincoln V-12 Flathead stuff?

 

Good news good info ,Thanks

 

I'm glad to find this out--I saw an Ardun with an "Austin" manifold a couple of years ago and have wondered about it since.
I'd like to commission a series of flathead manifolds dessigned to baffle people at shows: Wal-Mart, Boyds...

 

man, i got rid of my lincoln 337 because speed parts are so hard to find. what could have been .

 

I just talked to Ken and ordered the two Stromberg manifold and the aluminum heads!!!! Can't wait to get them.

 

Does he cast or use CNC?

 

He might use CNC to make his patterns and core boxes but the parts are genuine sand cast.

 

For a 337ci Lincoln? If you don't mind me asking, what do they go for?

 

Wow, a thread from 2004. Talk about back from the dead !

 

Old news but nice stuff

 

What he said. Any V-12 stuff?

 

judging form the pictures the intake on the left looks long enough to be v12. 4 different size flathead intakes....

 

Looks that way. That picture wasn't up when I asked about that V-12 stuff.

 

I ordered a four Stromberg manifold and heads- $600 each. Still waiting on them though.
