Hot Rods Another "Whatzit Fit" Question, this one about an Edelbrock F657 manifold ?

It is also marked ML, and a 6x2 log manifol d. I've searched, and found some confusing info...gonna take it to the Portland swap meet to sell and don't want to just say that it fits "Y-Block" Ford...any help appreciated.Here's a pic:

 

Check this link out, scroll "down aways" It does fit a YBlock, just 1957 Large Port

I've got a 1964-5 Northshore Speed and Auto catalog that says an Edelbrock F-657 fits Ford (55-63) 272, 292, 312 cu. In.

 

Also cost $87.45

 

If only.

 

I have an Edelbrock intake manifold that I didn't know what it fit, or what carbs it used. I sent Edelbrock a message, and they replied back with the info on what it fit, and what carbs to use.

 

It’ll probably bolt on any of the 272-312 head combinations, and maybe even a 238-256. But it’s really going to need the later heads with the larger ports and valves. Probably the smaller chamber ones to get the compression up (or pop up pistons).

Here’s a link to the casting numbers, scroll down till you get to the 1.92 intake valve sizes. Gives you some talking points. I know Portlands a big meet, but those are real specialty items with a thin market. The Ford Barn or yblocksforever might have a buyer. I know something about odd ball y block intakes, I’ve got an Algon unit for one.

Sorry about the pic...insert?? anyway, are these manifolds worth much?

 

I think they are worth a reasonable amount. But you’ve got to find the guy that wants one. If it were a Caddy, Olds, Pontiac or any Hemi, that would be one thing. But for every one of us y block guys there’s dozen of guys on more popular engines.

If it doesn’t move at Portland, send me a pm, I might have a couple leads you can pursue.

 

Thanx for the replies, I'm gonna try $600. at Portland Expo, for starters, and see what happens, If I'm nuts on my price please feel free to let me know..........

 

You are not nuts on the asking price. Take 5 if you get an offer.

 

Six years ago, bare manifold, damaged. Asking $700, sold for ? Worth a look, you might want to start higher with yours. Any of the parts to pick up the water/thermostat ? Linkage? You’ve got some time, a for sale post on the Barn or yblocksforever might get you a nibble or a bite even if it isn’t a sale.
