chip888 · July 29th, 2008, 06:44 PM

this is the intake i was talking about a month ago

three of the carbs are holly, one says ford. (i dont know why one is different)

intake is alum and believed to be for a 55 olds but i could be wrong.

"no numbers are available" i looked everywhere!

i have more pics but its a pain to send...easier to email if someone is interested. this site only allows certail size files ect...

thanks CP email is chip8@msn.com (cape cod mass)

All are Holley 94s. Holley was Fords main carb supplier from the beginning.

"Ink marker" in the center (upside down) shows 324 and 54-56. 324 = 324CI Olds engine.

Ports should be rectangular, if so, it's for '54 and '55, but will work on '56. I say "will work" because the '56 heads used slightly larger ports.

Try posting at the H.A.M.B. There are people over there, that actually know about this stuff.

Holy Crap - That looks like an ultra RARE Cragar intake...well, with the Cragar logo ground down

I might have to take that back - This also looks like an extremely RARE Horne intake. They also made finned aluminum valve covers for the early rocket blocks. Its a company not too many people know about

Thank you for the picture - What are the chances you have a picture of the Cragar intake?? If anyone would have one, my money is on 88coupe

In looking closely at the Horne and Cragar intakes, I would have to say that is a Cragar intake you have. Even though the 2 look the same, check out the outside rail about 4 inches between the front and rear carburators and it has a distinctive inwards curvature, whereas the Horne intake does not. Thanks again for the pics 88coupe.. Whoever said you were an irritant here?
