History Most Beautiful Flathead Manifold - Eddie Meyer it is!

Well then, only three, give or take........

 

Don Orosco - he's made a lot of cool stuff over the years . . . starting with the original repop Arduns that eventually ended up with Ferguson.

 

There goes his wind.....

 

We just found out that they are available and once again I got an education on the H.A.M.B.

 

Thanks for the enlightenment and I feel better about what I paid...

 

That is not the first time I lost my wind and how about you all.....

 

How about a before and after pic? Like someone asked earlier we would enjoy hearing about what it took to get it polished...

 

I lose mine too often....then I paddle....

 

I have 200 flathead manifolds on the wall all of them has a story . Who knows if true or not just fun to tell.

 

Sell them to young guys trying to keep the history going of early hotrods. Intakes look better on cars than walls. This hotrod world needs less hoarders.

 

So come buy them and do with them what you want.

 

Hankster32 fair call,i have a few intakes too,and there are less people running them and flatheads here in Oz too then ever,and there was a lot made back in the day.If someone really wants one sure! but they make great wall art, and i always have a selection on my kitchen wall to enjoy at breakfast.and they do all have astory too and make me happy daily.

That eddie meyer is Pissah all polished up,and i know why would you want to hide it under a hood. But will it fit under a hood on '31 av8. Again nice intake, ya got there.

 

Thanks for the direction to Monterey Speed and Sport and they do have some exotic flat head parts.

 

Rare handmade 8 carbs manifold!! Surely build for a local racing category in Argentina!! Really don't know more info on this, for sale right now on FB group!!!

I got a Hot rod Ford and two dollars bill!

 

Holy CFM, Batman! That is a lot of fuel. Pretty neat nonetheless.

 

I have an original Eddie Meyer and an original slingshot. Both great intakes. I have read the slingshot was the best performing 2x2 manifold

 

Dale you are a true "glutton for punishment"...........

 

I have two current favourites! Firstly a four carb sharp intake which is heavily ported and came from the Brunker collection who had a lot of Steve McQueen and Von Dutch stuff. And second is a locally made Oz intake, Jaden , I,m going to try run on a stroker engine .

 

Oh really Not reproduced, looks like I could order a half dozen of them

(As posted above)

 

I just found that out and go ahead and order some before the holiday rush...

 

Don't think I will, they won't fit on my Y Block.
I don't see a flathead in my near future.

 

Is there a source to get new 55-57 T-Bird valve covers? I have always thought they were the best looking olde rocker covers/Thanks....

 

Macs has them listed.

There are also several sets listed on flea bay

 

I will have those on order today/Thanks....

 

Almost every hot rodder with a flathead powered hot rod and another flathead engine or two in his garage has a few flathead intakes hanging on the wall! Having a few different intakes is part of the flathead lore and goes hand in hand with owning and running a flathead. I would guess that most of the flathead guys on here would have a few different intakes lying about in the garage, or on the wall, or both. A flathead 2X2, 3X2 or even a 4X2 intake manifold to me just shouts out traditional hot rod and I think they are just plain cool to look at and to own. So now I am really confused! If we all have a few flathead intakes are we all still traditional hot rodders or are we now all hoarders? Bored and Stroked; you did a fantastic job of polishing that Eddie Meyer manifold. I can't see a pit or a mark on it anywhere.

 

Agree. I won't show you a picture on my wall since I don't want to be accused of being a hoarder. Some guys look at dirty girlie mags. Me? I get a thrill looking at the manifolds hanging on the wall. Always looking for something new to add. Some were sold to purchase other parts and some were added because I had to have it. All part of different strokes for different folks I guess.

 

This one is pretty cool and could be yours................................

When I originally found the manifold it had been polished years ago. Then before I built this engine (1.5 years ago), I had Andy Tantes polish it again (he did a really nice job). Then I hand polished it twice since then to remove small swirl marks and also seal the metal with some special metal polish. Also, the quality of the casting was very nice to begin with - that makes things a lot easier. In the end, just a lot of work to get to this stage . . . but worth it on this manifold as it has a lot of nice rounded curves . . .

 

......nice rounded curves are ........ nice
