Technical dodge hemi intake id

I cant find this dodge hemi intake serial #id 17355774-2. I don't have a picture. Any help would be appreciated ty.

 

The first generation MOPAR V8 engine intake manifolds fit both hemi and poly versions of the same basic engine. For example, the Dodge 241/270 hemi and the 241/259/270 poly intake manifolds interchange dimensionally. The 315/325 hemi and poly also interchange but do not fit the smaller cube engines, as the deck height changed with the 315/325. The same situation applies to DeSoto and Chrysler engines as well.

None of that identifies your specific manifold, but I have a book that may answer that question. However, I am away from home until tomorrow evening and will not have acccess to it until then. If the question has not been answered by then, I will look it up and post what I find.

Thanks Ray. Some1 messaged me and said numbers are for a tall block 325 hemi but the -2 after wasn't in the book he checked. I'm waiting for a pic of the intake.

 

My reference book is the "Hemi Engine Data For 1950's" compiled by Leo R Lindquist.

I think you have one too many '5's in the number.....the book shows '1735774'....no -2 suffix listed. The manifold is shown to be 4 bbl for "car, 1957 D500". All 1957 D500 were 325 cu in hemi engines.

Hope this helps.

what he ^^^ will fit 315/325 Dodge hemi 56-59.....to 1959 for the trucks

 

OK thanks.

 

Just got around to checking my own stash of Dodge manifolds, I have two like you describe, including the -2 casting number. One came on an original '57 Dodge 325 poly and the other I bought from a HAMBer a couple of years ago. They are 4 bbl for the raised block 315/325 and fit either poly or hemi.

Thanks Ray. I saw some pics of the intake and it looks quite rusty and pitted inside the chambers. So I think I'm going to p*** on it. I read somewhere you shouldn't port an intake for a street motor because the gas would flow too quick into the heads. Have you heard anything like that?

 

The problem with excessive porting on any intake manifold is that you can cause the air flow to slow down and the fuel can separate from the air; it basically falls to the floor and collects. This is called the venturi effect.
If the price is right then I'd buy it. On a street engine, the rust pits would have to be extremely bad before it adversely affected performance.
BTW, the "dash" numbers (-2) refer to the mold number. The -2 says the manifold was in the second mold run, probably date cast as a late 1957 part.

Got the pics. Decided NOT to buy it. He wanted $280 shipped moneygram. or $200 cash in person.

 

I missed this the first time around but it needs to be mentioned in case someone finds this in a search.
The Chrysler intakes are NOT made in the same fashion as the Dodge and DeSoto.
All of the Chrysler intakes will interchange, physically, even though the deck was raised for the 392.
Yes, the 51-53 331 have small ports and the 51-54 have a t-stat cast into the manifold and there is a larger heat cross-over on the 392 but they will all bolt up.
MaMopar saw fit to modify the heads on the 392 instead of modifying the intake.

As to the Dodge manifold in question, the OP is wise to avoid anything to do with MoneyGram.......

TY. I understand the difference between the intakes and what they fit. I have been getting parts to complete a Dodge 315 poly with 315 hemi heads. I found a 2x4 alum. intake for it but now think maybe 2x4 would have too much cfm's because it might be stock.
When I look at the chart in the hemi guild, the horsepower rating goes up when adding a carb. Why doesn't the engine bog down? I thought the stock carbs had about 4-500 cfm. When I was into this hobby when I was a bit younger I only used a single carb. on all my engines.
