Help identify this olds rocket intake please

I might have a trade deal worked out with another hamber and neither of us know if it will work for my engine.I have a 1954 Oldsmobile rocket 324.Will this intake work?

 

Any numbers on it? Catalog lists 4060 as 54-56, 4061 57-58 and 5019 as 59-64.

 

No numbers.That's what the owner says anyways.Where might they be located?maybe he over looked them.

 

I didn't over look them, there are none, that would be to easy!

 

Here's one on ebay.

I have my Olds Ofy intake setting next to me here on the shelf. It has 4060 stamped on the bottom of the intake near the middle.

 

Lol.shhhhh,this is a top secret trade!

 

Lets compare.Here's the one i might be getting in trade:

And here's the one off ebay listed as a 4060

 

The one on E-Bay states '54-'56, must be the same. This one I have is not a recent cast but an older original so maybe no numbers?

 

I think you're right.

 

I believe the deck height is the same for 49-56, changed in 57, and again in 59, SO the 49-56 should be a swap, perhaps port size difference, and the 57&58 are the same, and the 59-64 interchange. You used to be able to buy thin plates (.125") to put early 303-324 on 57/58 371's.

 

Yes, port size is different on the 303.

If a person had the wrong intake year, you are better off with a 303 intake on a 324, rather than a the large port 324 intake onto a 303.

 

brigrat, could you measure the intake port size?

 

Port size is 2 5/32" tall & 1 5/32" wide ....................................

 

Looks like a winner, should be a nice match for the #8 heads

 

Sweet!Thanks guys!

Finally got the engine home yesterday.Sorry for the blur.My camera ****s
Hey paul,whats up with the lower bell housing delio?

 

Dug around today, haven't come across the one you need, I will be out there again tomorrow, will dig a bit deeper

 

looks like a real hot rod motor, white paint, chrome covers and Hurst mounts

the 3 twos should look right at home on it

 

Right on.Thanks bro.

Hell yeah!I cant wait to start this build.Well,kinda doing a sorta doing a mock up of the frame today..Scratching my head.I wanted to wait till i got more parts,but maybe i should start my build thread so i can get some help/ideas.

 

must not have seen the front mount clearly on my phone,

looks like a stock front mount with little straps and brackets welded on,
doesn't look like enough the way it is but you could add to it if you intend to use it

 

There is a guy on ebay making really nice copies of Hurst mounts; very good quality for $55 plus shipping.

 

Yeah i wouldn't know.When you said Hurst,i just took you're word.I thought they looked pretty flimsy too.maybe i can beef them up.

 

I seen those once before,but i cant find them now.

 

I rarely go on there anymore, but I did see them 2 weeks ago. If I can find the link, I will edit THIS post later.



Here: same guy I bought mine from.
