Earlier today, at my wifes diner, one of her customers gave me SHARP brand POLISHED 4bbl flathead Ford v8 intake. He said give it a good home, after I asked him how much he wanted for it. I of course thanked him several times. I've looked on the Sharps website but they do not list a 4bbl intake. So I'm wondering has anyone seen one before and if so how old is it or when did they quit making them? No it's not for sale and I don't care what the worth is. It's going on the wall of intakes I've got. I've just started collecting intakes and I have 1 Offenhauser 216 Chevy dual 2 bbl, 1 McGUrk 292 Gmc dual 2bbl, 1 Edmunds 331 Hemi dual 2bbl, 1 Edmunds FH v8 Ford dual 2bbl, and an Olds triple 2bbl intake.
That's cool, they don't list a 4 deuce intake either, just a dual and triple. Yours must be old too. any one else?
Lucky you, wish my Sharp 2 x 2 intake was given to me.....Last time I checked they don't make the manifolds any more, just the heads.
Wilcap produces them, according to the SHARP website, but only in two or three duese configureations. I was wanting to know when they quit making the 4 bbl.
The one I have was used in a drag roadster, on alcohol. I have been told that to drive one on the street, they work better with the smaller Stromberg 81 carbs.
