Ford Flathead - Austin Intake Manifold

There's a collection of 80 or so Flathead intake manifolds for sale that includes this one from Austin Engineering. Unfortunately they are selling them as a lot and I don’t have the 30k they want for the collection. The collection was handed down to someone that has no information on this intake manifold. I’ve searched the web and was unable to find any information regarding the mfg. I’d building a flatty for a speedway car and want something a bit different and this intake would be perfect. Does anyone here have any info on this intake?

Thanks,

Andrew

Now...someone post his early '50's exploits from the magazines!

 

I think the manifold pictured is one that he runs on his car

 

While you are at the AustinRodShop take a look at his quick change. I have one and love it. Also his Lincoln V12 powered roadster. And all the other stuff. What a great place to spend some time.

 

Is that on his site?? Can't find it.
