Is that for a Chevy? Now I'm going to have to find one of those. Great thanks for giving me another obsession.

Yes it is for a chevy 235 which the early F is an exact copy, I imagine it would be a perfect fit on the head, the exhaust manifold might pose a probelm...

and your search is over:

New Offenhauser 1950-1959 Chevy 235-261 Triple Carb/Carburetor Intake Manifold | eBay

Yeah I think the chevy manifold would be a problem. I think that's why they did one specifically for the F motor. Now get that 240Z air cleaner and get that thing done.

If your going to go the chevy route might as well go all the way and go side draft.

Plus one of these to the engine, then this to the front and I see elk hunting becoming a lot easier around the cabin.

So is this setup going on the LV? 18 gallon gas tank 6 mpg should make for interesting road trips. It's a toss up if you run out of gas before you find a station or run out money at $4.00 a gallon.

If you guys are really serious, I could be persuaded to part with my entire F135 speed package of nib Offy Valve Cover, Offy 2X1bbl (for what I've got into it )and used header. The Chevy stuff as mentioned won't fit.

 

[ClemsonCruiser]

hmmm might be interested in the header Jim, what is it worth to you

 

[Cruiser_Nerd]

Package............

Package............

can't blame a guy for trying!

 

[Living in the Past]

Package............

So how much you want for the whole package? Or just the intake and valve cover if you can find a buyer for the header?
