Three "rare" intakes for a new 59AB motor!

Looks to me like the Eddie Meyer would work the best, it's got the straightest shot! Eddie was always on top of the game.

 

Howthe first one looks on the motor.

 

Still mighty hard to beat looks like this:

 

The last Edelbrock I saw that was restored minus carbs sold for over 2k on that site. Kinda pricey for my blood. It's too bad that Meyer had the gen. mount welded up, it kinda ruins it but you could clean it up so that it may not be noticeable. IIRC in one of the flathead books the Meyer didnt perform up to the standards of it's looks. The Weiand would perform the best but if it is not a competion build and just a street build I would stick with the Meyer. Just my .02 -Drew

 

The Eddie Edmunds intake ad on the ford barn belong to me. Thanks for hijacking it & posting my ad over here!Any body here interested?.

 

let's see some pics of it, post 'em here, you may get a buyer or two


jrblack30 and Sixness,
thanks for sharing the pics, those motors look nice with those intakes, especially the slingshot!

 

Don't thank me the photo and motor belong to NealinCA here on the HAMB:

my slingshot ain't so pretty

 

The Why-end works for me!

 

The Eddie Meyer has cracked and been welded near the gen bracket.

 

Looks like both side of the bracket are welded. The bead is pretty straight for a crack. Maybe the bracket was cut off for a race car and welded back on later.

 

The Edelbrock will out perform any of the ones shown. If you just want far out odd-ball looks, take your pick of either of the other two.

Here is a Weiand from the HAMB drags this past year.

Obviously you got some deep pockets. Good luck on the bidding.

 

The Eddie Myer intake is nasty!

I also like the high rise Thickstun PM7 as far as 2 x 2 intakes go.

Yea, that's the only bummer about the Eddie Meyer is the re-weld, so it's makes it hard to justify paying a high dollar price for it seems like it could be fixed up, but that's just more dough to spend on the intake I'm not sure if i'll even have enough to bid on any of those, it might be wishful thinking from here on out, but i do enjoy all the suggestions and opinions on all three of these beautiful intakes! so thanks ya'll for sharing your thoughts, much appreciated.
Grace and peace†

Not sure how rare they are but , I bought 2 original high rise intakes last week from a guy that had them for years. pm 7 and a Weiand I guess I'm gonna put the Thickstun on the 39 first.

 

eddie meyer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

eddie meyer, you can always grind down the welds. or just build 3 cars!

 

All the Eddie Meyer's I've ever seen have the "Hollywood" race car and boat logo on them. I'm guessing that one like that pictured in this thread pre-dates the logo'ed manifolds. Anybody know the time frame for the change over? I have the bottom to an Eddie Meyer manifold like that pictured with a logo and the oil breather/fuel pump stand base is about an inch taller. Interesting subtle differences.

 

I see that the EM went for $1200. It went for more than the Edelbrock.

 

Eddie Meyer all the way.

 

well, unfortunately my paypal account didn't have enough funds to cover any of these intakes, but as the auctions ended, this is how they ended up-

Eddie Meyer sold for $1,200.00

Weiand sold for $769.00

Edelbrock ( slingshot) didn't sell and make their reserve at $803.00


Hopefully when others pop up in the near future, i'll have the buyer power to play
thanks again for all you posts, opinions and insight. I dug all the Flathead w/ high-rise intake pics as well!
Cheers,

stevie,

i've got a nice Edmunds 2x2 for a 59AB on the shelf that im not using for anything. If you want it, it's yours.

Eddie Meyer, without a doubt.

 

I would imagine that Edelbrock's reissue of this intake will seriously alter the market for the originals. Certain die hards will still pay the price for the ancient ones, but a new slingshot, complete with warantee, is hard to turn down too.

 

I see Don Garlits on a regular basis...I will talk to him about an intake for you.

 

Here you go, get creative..

Well J,
I went and finally picked me up a WHY-AND
can't wait to get it!
here's what she looks like...



Almost ready to tear the flatty down, see what i've gotten myself into and start the build up.
cheers,

Now if you REALLY want to make your flathead GO....here's the ticket!
