Any fool can drive a V8

Old abandoned project (not mine).  Attempt was made to use one side on a Model A Ford block.

What's it fit?  Manufacturer?





Base(s) may have been trimmed.

Temple's "Got'Cha"

Mike,

Could be a Cad also. Look on the sides of the injectors, if they have not been machined there will be casting data if they are Hilborn's. There will aslo be a small number that has been stamped into the injector, usually between the center two ports, like 131 etc.

"Got'Cha" was first run in 1974. Bill Temple entered both 2 clubs in 1976 with records in AA/BGR. At El Mirage 201.79 and Bonneville at 220.

In 1977 Greg Temple started driving "Got'Cha" and entered the El Mirage Dirty 2 club in 1979 @ 201.97. Greg went on to set two records at Bonneville, one in 1981 at 241.848, then in 1991 he set another record at 262.230

Bill and Greg were the first father and son to enter the El Mirage Dirty 2 club. They broke the D/BFR at Bonneville in 1981 @ 241 with top speed of 249. This record still stands today. In 1991 they set the A/BFR @ 262 which was later broke by Duane McKinney.

Mike,
I play with old Cadillac motors in my "spare" time.  Cadillac manifolds typically have the mounting holes (manifold to head) in line right near the center of the ports.  Looks more like an early Oldsmobile intake to me based on those holes.  If it helps you eliminate Cadillac as a possibility, measure the inside distance between the two inside ports.  A Cadillac manifold should measure somewhere around 6 7/16"
Hope that helps,
Scott

No stamped or cast numbers anywhere  huh

Outer ports ~10 3/4" center-to-center
Inner ports ~7 13/16" center-to-center
Distance between inner ports ~6 1/2"

Mike,
I will measure a couple more manifolds tomorrow more accurately, but I get very similar port spacing numbers with a quick measurement of an Offenhauser Cadillac manifold.
