Features 337 nicson intake

I’ve just bought a 49 Lincoln with a 337 flathead. I knew it had alloy finned head and twin carbs but when I collected it I’ve found the intake to be a Nicson eng of La. I’ve seen some info on them but never a 337 intake.

Can anyone shed any light

 

Very few made speed parts for these big Lincoln/Truck motors. Even when new, you don't see many catalogs carrying speed parts for the 337's. Edlebrock, Edmunds and Nicson offered parts for these engines. From what I gather, any speed parts for these are rare to find today, but Nicson would be the rarest of the bunch. Great score.

 

Wow, that's a super rare intake.

 

Had one back in the '70s. Marking cast in rear "F-7" ... Also had a pair of script Edelbrock heads. Sold it all for $650 to a fella in NC for his '50 F-7 dump, one family owned.

 

Ken Austin of Oregon made speed Equip for those a Three Carb and cyl Heads. Was a old Hot Rodder. Sold Patterns to H and H Flathead. Nicson also made a 2 Carb in 1956 for the new 265 Chev V8

 

Those Edelbrock heads are very scarce as well. How does it run?

 

Wow, now that's a rare find.

 

I've got a 1956 Nicson catalog, and they made some pretty offbeat stuff, like cast iron dual headers for some IHC sixes.
