It takes a pretty high “dosage” to get me excited these days. But being able to reunite the only other two known Marshman Flathead Ford Superchargers back with the one I’ve had for a few years does it for me. We’re pretty sure these were made by George Marshman. He was a well known local dirt racer and race promoter. He ran the local Sanatoga Raceway among others in the 40’s and 50’s. His son Bobby Marshman went on to be a successful racer and eventually ran at Indy. Sadly we haven’t been able to find any advertisements or drawings to learn more about these.. but we do know at least three exist and three should be put back on cars and used. Hoping we can use the one complete one to copy the missing parts on the others eventually. Either way I’m thankful to own these pieces of hot rodding and racing history. #irontrapgarage

 

Matt does it again. He seeks and finds amazing stuff.

 

i need my head examined!

 

I had that very thing done years ago. They said, you are a very obsessed sick individual who is addicted to hot rod induction. SEEK HELP! LOL.

 

No help in this place, just a bunch of enablers!

 

Damn!!!!!
That's a bunch of cool stuff.

 

^^^I am fairly positive that is a small portion of the treasures James has in his stash. Very cool stuff.

 

Those Halibrands could be cracked, I'd be careful, better get rid of them.
Give them to me!

 

I get first shot at those if they come available. I need them for the back of the Salt Shaker so I can get rid of the circus wheels I'm running.

 

Found on the web.

 

i got 3 more rochester 2g carbs in the mail today! Thank you to @Pass The Torch ! That makes a total of 12 that ive bought in the last year or so. I FINALLY have a set with true chevy tripower secondary carbs!
I guess the only LOGICAL thing to do now would be to start looking for a offy 4x2 pacesetter intake to bolt these extra rochester carbs to???? Uuuggh! LOL

 

Awesome

 

Orner Motive injection unit, not mine

 

Corvette OEM GM F.I. intake base (Winters) "snowflake" casting.

 

are those four 'pedestals' welded onto the gm manifold or?

 

Bolted, just like the Rochester dog house, using the original tapped holes.

 

thanks!!-didn't understand how those roch. manifolds were!

 

When I worked at a Chevrolet Dealership, those F.I. base plates were $30. Wish I had bought a bunch of them!

 

Unusual

 

Happy New Year Induction junkies.
