Eddie Meyer Intake

[alanwoodieman]

dug thru a pile of treasures and found a early Eddie Meyer Intake with the markings X522 (?) could anyone give me the information as to age?, years it fits? etc? value?

Well if it's a high rise 2 piece the first ones were made in 1938. The x522 is a stamping that Eddie stamped both top and bottom with the same number. So you can always tell if the top is from the same bottom. Look under the intake and find the other stamped number. If they match you know they were machined together. I have one and it's x355 or something like that. He always put an x infront of the number. They will fit any flathead from 32-48 and if modified can fit the 49-53. Pretty rare intake. They do repop them now so hopefully yours is an original one.

Eddie also made a water heated high rise? What does yours look like? Any pictures?

[alanwoodieman]

by the looks of mine it is an original, I looked in speedway catalog and the one I have is not in there. Bruce good to know about the number with the x. These match! I will get pictures in the am and will post

Very original for sure. Good score.

Here's mine just sitting on top of my motor. I'm running an edelbrock slingshot on the same motor now.

Just curious as to why you removed the Eddie Meyer manifold. ?

[bruce lee]

I recreated my grandpas 32 roadster that he ran the dry lakes in the late forties. All the way down to the type of intake, carbs, heads the way the car looks even with his scta numbers on it. He is 86 and loves the way the car came out. We should be at el mirage on the 20th so he can putt it around. So the Eddie Meyer intake will go on a 36 21 stud motor for a future project.
