Intake manifold ID...
Anyone know what year this aluminum Ford intake would be?

Re: Intake manifold ID...
Looks like a '38 or '39 standard, but not sure about that round logo. Look on the underside for a date of manufacture. If it is Ford, it would be the imprint from a date tag tacked onto the mold.

Re: Intake manifold ID...
Late 35 or 36, going by the 'high' generator mounting....

Re: Intake manifold ID...
That is a '35 intake. I have the identical intake on both early and late model year original '35 passenger cars. Definitely not '36, '38 or '39.
It would work fine on a '36 engine but would not be show correct...IF...recognized by judges who knew the difference.

Re: Intake manifold ID...
Thanks guys. I am just concerned about the generator mounted fan being in the right location. Don't have the engine mounted yet to check clearance...

Re: Intake manifold ID...
The bolt to mount the generator would be at 3". the later engines 37-39 the bolt to mount gen plate would be 2".

Re: Intake manifold ID...
These pictures may help in identifying some of the early Ford V8 aluminum intakes. I guess if they were cleaner, bead blasted, and pictures taken with better lighting it might be easier to see the differences.

Re: Intake manifold ID...
My bad. John is right. Everyone is right but me. So ashamed. I'll be in the closet if you need me. With the light off.

Re: Intake manifold ID...
I have an aluminum manifold with an S in a circle. Any ideas on that?

Re: Intake manifold ID...
John,
There's one more late '34/early '35 intake manifold shown below. It's just like a typical '35 except it has a high rise fuel pump stand mounting surface like the smooth 40-5520-B manifold, also shown. The part number cast in the bottom of the manifold is 40-5520-B2 (a number at the end of suffix indicating an additional design/source). |

Re: Intake manifold ID...
David, thanks for posting this picture of another version of late '34/early '35 intake manifold. The '34/early'35 in the picture I posted here is exactly like the one you show on the left. I have never seen one like you show on the right with the higher mount for fuel pump/breather stand. After seeing the post by Walt Dupont on his '35 engine build I wanted to come back to this post to look at pictures again.
