Guest jumpinjivinjoe Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 <span style="text-decoration: underline">Where can I get an intake manifold for my <span style="text-decoration: underline">1957 Mercury Monterey with a turnpike cruiser engine</span>(368 cu. in.)?</span> My intake manifold is <span style="text-decoration: underline">cracked right beneath the thermostat housing</span>, so I took it off, beveled the crack, and put JB weld on it. I put it back on today and the JB weld cracked right where the old crack was. So I roughed up the old JB weld today and I am going to put more JB weld on it tonight. I need a new intake manifold.

Guest Bluesky636 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 If I am not mistaken, you have a Y-Block engine. Does the intake look like the attached picture? The intakes for these are reproduced. Here is one source. Not cheap though. http://www.dearbornclassics.com/cgi-bin/...gory=ENGINECOMPor you can try E-Bay. Search "Ford Y-Block Engine Intake Manifold." I found several for sale.

Guest jumpinjivinjoe Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 It does indeed have a y-block. But the manifold in the picture is for a 312 and I have a 368. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bluesky636 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Does your intake look like the one in the photo?I would think that all Y-blocks used the same intake manifold just the way that the later FE intakes interchanged (well, except for high-risers). I bet you will find that except for displacement, the 368 and 312 are identical. Mercury usually got bigger engines than the equivalant Ford. Lincolns, usually, were even bigger.

Guest Bluesky636 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Here is some general info on your engine:http://www.ford-y-block.com/lincoln.htmMaybe the intakes don't interchange. If that is the case, I'm sorry. But I think a simple search of the Internet will yield a source for the intake manifold for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jumpinjivinjoe Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 This is my intake manifold the thermostat housing mounts on the top. I believe the threaded holes that hold the accelerating linkage is different also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bluesky636 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Sorry, but your photos didn't show up.Doubly sorry in that I just found out the intakes do not interchange.Try this website for more information:http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum56/This is the Y-block group on the Ford Truck forum and covers the 368.Good luck.

Guest eratchetos Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 You have a lincoln y block The only parts that will interchange are the oil pump & distributor. Ford y block is not the same. The only mamifold that will fit is 57 lincoln or 57 merc.T P C. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
