Info wanted:Vintage Detroit Racing Manifold

I got a Detroit Racing Intake Manifold for a 390 Cadi, trying to find out any information on who this company was, what else they produced etc...

Any info would be much appreciated, will try and get some pics up of it soon.

it's a 2 x 4 brl cast intake fits on my '59 cad 390...

Any info on the company/history would be great.

Searched all over the tinternet but can't find a fart, but know there's a fair few knowledgeable guys on here.

Thanks

Thanks Mazda, anyone come up with any fresh info since that last thread?

 

hey, i just sent you an email with a little info on my setup. I also have a brochure somewhere around on the manifold. i'll look for it and scan in so you can see.

I'm looking for a DRE 2x2 and a 2x4 if anyone has one they'd sell. The 2x4 I have, someone polished the lettering off of!

 

Seymour - Scott, I'm gonna have to keep mine, as broke as i am, i just have to keep a hold of it. I'll get the 390 built up sometime this year when i'm more flush and build a sick *** motor...

P.S When I was recently really hard up I offered up my motor, 2x4 DRE manifold and an engine rebuild kit for less than what a manifold alone goes for in the states.

Not one sniff from UK guys (i live there)... Scary! Most of them will bite and scratch for a snagged 350 lump... **** I miss Cali and Sweden.

Thanks for all the help and info guys.
Rock on.

 

good move holding onto it

 

This sounds really gay, but let me know next time you're hard up! Seriously!
