Hot Rods Need help to ID Cragar parts Application.

Bought these the other day, They are made by Cragar, They look a lot like the offy 5497 X rams but they are a lot lower and in height and both ends have been modified, One end is to large for a carburetor while the other end was modified to take a carburetor. Any ideas?

 

Blower applications to get the carbs under the hood...

 

They were made to fit the GMC 3-71 blower and as @Crazy Steve said it was for hood clearance. Only one would go on the 3-71, they will not fit any other blower AFAIK.

 

Looks like these may have been hacked for a 6-71...

 

I had an idea of something like what you are saying. Thanks guys.

 

sorry I don't have a better picture so we could maybe read it....

 

I think I've heard them referred to as "water buffalo" manifolds.

 

Don Gallant, of Don's Speed Shop in Newington, Connecticut ran that set-up on his 1955 Chevrolet 2 door sedan.

 

Thank guys for the input

 

Mox Miller had 2 of them ( bought brand new in 1958 and welded together ) on his 1958 Impala that never ran...

Sorry Mox Miller modified his 1958 Impala in 1962, not 1958 like I said above.
