Rooster Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Inlet manifold off what seems to be an early straight 8The section that bolts to the head comes in three pieces and the hot box section is cast Marvel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Phillips Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 It looks like an exhaust manifold to me, not an intake or "inlet" manifold, as you call it. I don't think it is for an early 1930s Buick. Here is a 1932 Buick straight 8 manifold & engine.Pete Phillips, BCA #7338Sherman, TX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grant Magrath Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Hi Rooster.I speak "strine"! I knew what you meant! I shouldn't help you since the Western Force beat the Crusaders, but you may have to google Hudson, Nash, and anyone else who made an eary straight 8 to see if it matches what you've got.CheersGrant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 Oops, yes you're right Pete. It is an exhaust manifold.It's definately Buick , got the casting emblem there as well as the numbers.I thought it might be early 30s because of the Marvel heat control set-up ?Sorry Grant , don't follow the rugby game so you can help as much as you like.

Bob Engle Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 1933 Buick went to the 3 piece exhaust manifold. 1931 & 1932 had single piece manifolds with exhaust exiting at the front not center. I'm not familiar with years past 33. There are 3 different sizes used 50, 60 and 80-90. There should be part numbers on the manifolds, Not the marvel heat riser, that can I. D. size and year from the master parts catalogs. Marvel parts have very mixed up part numbers that are hard to use for ID.Bob Engle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 Thanks, Bob and Stuart. Yes, I can see the hooked manifold > exhaust pipe section matches the one I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
