Intake Manifold Swap
 

When I got it, my ’37 had a 24 stud flathead that I believe was a ’48. It was not fixable, so I now have a ’37 221. Question is, would there be any advantage to using the ’48 intake (performance wise) on the ’37 block. I’m building it to drive, not show, although it is stock.

Chris, There are just a couple differences to consider: One is the third hole (heat riser) in the 1937 carb mount, which is not compatible with the use of a 94 carb. The other is the diameter of the vacuum port for the Trico wiper motor.

Ok, thanks Alan. As I have a 94 carb, I guess I'll work with the "48 intake.
