How rare is this ? 455 alloy intake manifold
Hi All
I am picking up a 455 motor that is in pieces ... one of which is an alloy intake manifold that is a factory item. ALL Olds bits here are rare, but are these manifolds common ? thanks Gary T |

you could look it up at www.442.com in the faq section It would be pretty funny if it was from a 307.

I don't think it could be a 307 intake. SBO intakes don't fit the BBO engines. I wonder what it could be...

not 307 ... it's over 20 years old
Joe,
The guy who owns it says he's had it for 20 years, so I doubt it is a repro. When I know more I will let you all know. Gary |

You never know when you get stuff in "pieces"

It has Olds W455 on it !
Joe,
I picked up the motor and all the stuff with it tonight and the manifold had "Olds W455" on it ... and it's not in bad nick either. J-chicago, I'll list the number if it has one in the morning... too dark here now. Pics will be put onto my Olds website over the next couple of days. Gary T |

Nice score, you should check head casting letters if heads came with it. If there is a big F or H near the front or rear sparkplug hole you hit the jackpot!

455 delivered !
Hello again ALL,
here's the pics of the motor bits including the W455 alloy intake manifold - http://groups.msn.com/MyAussie67Olds...or.msnw?Page=1 Oldsmaniac - I didn't get your reply until I got hoem from dropping everything off so I did not get a chance to check for letters on the heads, but one thing I do know ... there's no room for bigger valves ! *update ... I called the reco guys and they say they have "G" on them ... ? good thing ? They are practically on top of each other. Gary Last edited by Aussie67Delta88Custom; November 16th, 2007 at 05:44 PM.. |

G heads are good and they have hardened seats for unleaded gas.....I believe they are 1971 455 heads, the F and H heads are W-30 heads and worth a few thousands of dollars!!

Doh ! ... W-30 heads would've been nice then :)
Oldsmaniac,
Ah ! ... they looked like they had hardened seats ... excellent ! Looks like this pick up could save me just as much as it cost ... even more . could it have been fate ?  Just discussing it here has me itching to cruise cheers from Down Under Gary T |
