Technical Sbc factory aluminum intake ID help

My M116 went to a guy in Idaho who apparently has a bunch of them. The 116 came out in 1960. A search at the MVPA, (military vehicle preservation association) would bring up some talk about carbs.

 

looks like a special base

 

The military museum I volunteer at has an M114 that I worked on a lot. The engine was not original but the intake and teapot carb were, and the intake has the ports on the runners.

 

So it does sit on an adapter plate. Thanks.

From Tom Cobb dry lakes thread by Ryan. Can't see side mount, presume it's a '57 block.

 

maybe the vette forum guys will catch up now

 

That M116 had to be very light armor. What kind of speeds did they get out of them? Our M113 had a lot more power than that and still topped out between 65 and 70 turned all the way up. It was hell on track pads turned up, but we felt safer running the routes.

 

The M114's were severely underpowered and taken out of Vietnam service in 1962. Not only due to underpowered but hit a land mine in one and they broke in half. They were in use in CONUS into the early 1980's until replaced with the M113.

 

Needed an L79 transplant!

 

The M114 was a light armor tank, the M116 was thin skinned aluminum no armor. Sorta like a modern day Studebaker weasel
