Rare flathead intakes...PIC SHOW

I just orderd a set of Navarro High Dome Heads and an Intake, I know not that rare but Barney is still alive (just had his hip replaced) and I wanted a set while I could still get them from him, can't wait to get started on my new motor!!!

 

Got some blower pics here under flathead intakes... http://photobucket.com/albums/b136/TopEndSpeedShop/

 

Found some more if anyone's interested...

1)AROWE manifold made in New Zealand by Alan Rowe. (A-ROWE)

--Anyone think their flatty's fast?? Not if you dont have the...
2)Rason Speed King manifold from Vancouver, BC

3)This one has no markings. The 2 2-barrel carbs are mounted sideways. Roundy-round racer??

Anybody else??? LOL

 

some aussie stuff.

 

Turned up this ROOF intake after I got the heads, then found out that they were sold as a package called the Blue Streak.. Block is away being machined right now, hope to have it running in a month or two. Would like to hear from anyone who has ran a Twinfire 8 Autolite distributor.!!

 

All currently on eBay for sale by Russell1932

 

Oh I forgot. I have a pair of Kogel Rocket Racer heads. Also here is on of my original Flathead Cad Cyclone heads. The Cyclones were for a bonneville roadster that ran 1950.. Its was setup with a Front drive blower setup also, They added 3 extra studs to them for the blower setup.. Lot of great workmanship in that engine..

 

Yup.

 

the third from the left is the rarest one that I have no one in australia has seen one before, it was manufactured here but none of the flathead guys here know of it. Its a similar casting to others that I have, but that is all I know on it.

 

I'm running a MultiPower intake. I know nothing about it. A friend of my father's gave it to me...it had never been used! Sorry, no pic.

 

Somebody is/was selling repops of this intake, and the heads to match it. Not sure who he is, but I think he's located in Temecula CA. Had the intake and heads listed on ebay about a year ago, but the price was pretty high and I don't think they sold. Looked real nice, though.

 

Here's my lackluster contribution. I dont know who made it because theres no name or markings but I think the carb bolt pattern is unusual. Any guesses?

edmunds

 

The carb bolt pattern looks like its two 3-bolt patterns so you could bolt the carbs either facing float bowls forward or float bowls behind. Float bowls forward is the usual way and copied from Ford. It might have to do with if it was used for circle track racing or maybe boat racing. Do you roundy-round racers have any ideas or input?

 

Shoebox72's? No, edmunds never made a dual like that.
Anyone have any old edmunds ads?

 

well I guess some other edmunds just cast his name on them then.


this is a bad photo and the only one I can find now, but this had edmunds racing cast between the two carbs.



I sold it to a guy who specifically wanted an edmunds intake. so dont have it anymore.

 

the lettering on Shoebox72's manifold was prolly ground off. Flatoz' has the original castings. I'll take em both!

 

I just picked one up virtually identical to those - no lettering either - of course, it could have been ground off, but all the other normal Edmunds manifolds I've seen (got a couple & a set of heads) have the Edmunds script engraved in, so there'd be a lot of grinding to get rid of it.

My intake has the 4-hole Mercury-style carb pattern & only one of the 3-hold carb patterns for each mounting pad. The center hole for the 3-hole is "filled" with a set-screw/grub-screw.

I had read somewhere that Edmunds never made a racing manifold - all were made with provisions for the generator in the stock location. But, my feeble memory doesn't always retain pertinent facts such as this correct....

 

Well Between me and my dad we have 4 originals

2 carb Navarro without gen bracket - Race Model

3 carb Navarro without gen bracket - Race Model

3 carb offy

4 carb edelbrock 2nd owner from local 50's racer with 4 94's and Block off plates for the outside 2 carbs


Oh yea and the matching set of heads for the Navarro too

 

Thats true too. Didnt remember that that were engraved like that.

 

Very cool thread!

 

One more for ya RedNeck.
I just picked this one up from Lakes Modified (thanks Bill ) for my project.

mine was engraved, when I said cast, I meant cast as in it was part of the casting, not added later, which even to get an engraved look still has to be part of the casting, just a "male" in the casting box not "female"

 

Does anyone remember who it was, Id love to get ahold of him.

Here's a bad shot of my dirty Weiand 4x2 ( one got stolen )

 

I have been looking for Roof stuff for a long time. Missed a couple of intakes on Ebay a while back. I live in Anderson, Indiana where Roof lived and his grandson still lives here. I found out about a pickup truckload of Roof stuff being sold about a year ago, after it was already gone. There are a couple of "T" Roof engines in town, but not much else left. Maybe one of these days I'll find something I can afford.

 

Try running an ad in the local paper in the antique cars section of the cl***ifieds. Maybe there's an old hot rodder or two left in town with a stash.

 

Here is my 1936 Pontiac straight 8 Edmunds setup has any one out there seen another?

 

Is this rare ? Stu Hilborn's first injector.....for a flathead of course.
