Manifold in the '34 Ford...Am I Screwed ?

[Duane]

the intake manifold on the
sbc looks to be too new. i
do believe there was a
high-rise in the '50s-'60s,
but i want to be sure. if too
new, i'll use the tri-power
setup from the Caddy in the
'49 Ford kit. the valve covers
will also come from the Caddy.
it seems there were inscripted
Edelbrock covers then, but these
look like shit. i know the fan belt
and alternator(eeeeeewwww)are,
so they'll be junked.

Which '34 kit Duane, the AMT I guess? Any chance of a pic of the manifold?

[Duane]

yep Mike. it's the AMT.
i'll get a close-up and
post it thanks.





kinda fuzzy pictures but i think you can see why i question using this manifold.

I know that dual-plane hi-rise aluminum manifolds were popular throughout the '60s ; the multi-carb manifolds just had more flash! I would say that the kit manifold is TRAKable, but no billet air cleaners! (actually, there was quite a variety of different shaped and styled air cleaners available thru the aftermarket at the time)

[Duane]

thank you Rich !!!!
i'm sure the Dodge Chargers
race team had hi-rise manifolds
on their '64 Dodge 330s.

i just wasn't sure about the one
from the '34 because it looks too
new.

[cycolacfan]

I would think it's TRAKable to the best of my knowledge, though I'm no expert on these.

even if it's not then it's not the most obvious part of the car so you could probably get away with it.

[Duane]

thanks Mike !!!!!
i may just go with it lol.
thanks again.

I am sure it's ok....besides it's not the intake that I look at when I slobber all over cool models.

[Duane]

thanks guys !!!! i
appeciate your good
advice !!!! this manifold
is what's stalling my '36-7
and now i can get it in gear.
