Cool Father's Day gift,,,but what is it?

I got this today,,, and it was sold to my kids as a flathead intake ,,,,and they though dear ol' dad would love it,,,,and I do and wouldn't tell them it wouldn't fit!

BUT,,,,we all know it ain't a flathead intake,,,,

What the heck is it? HRP

 

Looks like an old Oldsmobile 6 three deuce manifold.

i'm gonna say Y-block.
i have an Olds Edelbrock,and that ain't it.

 

Can't see it well enough to swear to it but Y-Block Ford had the Thermostat housing flat in the front and over all looks like yours. Is it Cast Iron or Alum.?

yeah y-block.... all i got my dad was a plaque i made on our wood cnc that says #1 dad

 

Definately a Y Block - 272-312, possibly a 239 or 256

 

If the paired intake ports are one on top of the other rather than side by side, then it is a Ford Y Block.

 

It is a Edelbrock intake and has the numbers 553 below the center mount. HRP

 

Edelbrock 553 = Ford Y-Block

Thanks a bunch,,,,,at least I know what I have now,,,,,

BTW,,,,don't tell the girls that it ain't a flathead intake,,,they really did try! HRP

 

You know what you are going to HAVE to do now! You will have to build a y-block for your next project, at least you have a super nice intake to build around!!

 

One of the best 3-2 intakes for the y block(if you have the smaller heads) Nice find, worth a couple hundred $$, Your girls did good, -The Catholic

 

it be a y block
