Anyone interested in Y blocks may find this intake that is for sale on ebay interesting. It appears to be a genuine marine downdraft intake for a Y Block. It does not have the automobile thermostat housing, and the casting line along the front of the intake suggests that it has not been cut down. Strangely, it has the cylinder numbers that match a GM engine and its firing order does not match a Y block in the Interceptor manual, There are no Interceptor marks on it.

It may be Y block but Lincoln/heavy truck… as the ports are side by side not stacked, may have come up from south America / OZ Y block plant.

Interesting, Never noticed the ports being stacked. I'll have to take a look at one of our spare intakes.
Roger, I still have your windshield, gasket and parts... |

Just a wild a**ed guess here but since it has a GM or Chrysler firing order and also has the intake ports numbered like a Chrysler or GM and the color is sorta Chrysler ish, and the port layout looks like a big block Chrysler and there's no hole for the distributor, I'll say it's a big block Chrysler intake

Roger, swing through Maine the next time you're over here! I think we're the closest spot to England in the US. Ken, Ford Y blocks did not have a hole in the intake for the distributor. Could be for a Chrysler I suppose, but it looks very similar to a Ford Y block intake. |

As far as the distributor the BB Chrysler would fit right near the #2 cylinder where the thermostat housing is "missing" on the pictured intake.

The little arrow looks like maybe a Mopar arrow (late 50s early 60s) emblem and the little "Plaque" with the simulated screws above the casting number would be the casting date (how Chrysler put the dates onto cast parts).
Ken nailed it. |

Damn, I guess it's not the missing link. Who would have thought Fords and Chrysler had any similarities, (except Ken and Zach). |

Okay I'm here to say that I disagree with Zach who agrees with me and my Chrysler guess.
So that means I disagree with what I guessed earlier. It still not a Ford Y block though. I'd say it's a Studebaker manifold from the 50's maybe early 60's. It could also be Packard or early Cadillac. They all have the same firing order as mentioned earlier and look remarkably like each other. and like the original Ebay picture in this thread Looking at the number of bolt holes in the mounting flanges and their shape is a good clue. They didn't have the distributor mount to the manifold either. Studebaker and Packard were under the same ownership for a while at the end of their production runs. At least for now, I agree with myself...............I think |

That thing is very odd. If you zoom in it only has the 4 exterior bolts that hold it to the heads. Every Chrysler big block I’ve ever seen has 8 bolts.

The Studebaker has 8 bolts too, the 4 that you're thinking of and 4 more with thick washers that go between the ears that have no holes. Here's what the gasket looks like so you know where the bolts go |

Same with Y blocks. Must have been a common way back then? . |

Mystery remains, the Studebaker intakes I have looked at look as if they have a much more perpendicular angle where the intake bolts to the heads than said intake. All the Chrysler's had ave a solid area between the exhaust crossover and intake runners that I can find. They did some odd stuff with the late 50s B engine (350/361) but I am nowhere near an expert on that early stuff.
I looked at the logo up close on the ebay add and I cant place it. It is a triangle with a circle on top like this. /*\ |

Cold front blowin' through.
Hey Zach I stopped to see an old friend (old and been a friend for a long time) with a junkyard, showed him the EBAY pictures and he tells me it's a Rambler 287 or 327 intake. Asked him what made him say that and his answer was the casting number beginning with 315 The things some people know. I believe him |
