SOLD: Early Aluminum Intake Manifold possibly 1912-1914'ish REO the Fifth

[motoringicons]

Here is a very nice, early high quality aluminum intake manifold. I was told it could be for a 1912-1914ish REO the Fifth four cylinder.

The intake port holes are about 1 3/8" and the mounting flange holes are about 2 1/2" center to center..  The carburetor hole is about 1 1/4" and the carburetor mounting holes are about 2 3/4" center to center. It is in excellent condition.

Take a look at the photos, what you see is what you get. 

 

If anyone knows what this is off of, please let me know.

That appears to be an intake for a RAJO head. RAJO made aftermarket overhead valve heads for Fords mostly.

Thanks for the reply, but it is definitely not Rajo. I have a few of those heads around and if this fit, it would not be for sale!!!!

It is too long.

Could this manifold be cut down to fit your RAJO head, then TIG welded, ground and polished back to show appearance?

I still believe it is a Rajo product. Rajo made heads for several different makes of cars. The RA18 on the bottom looks very similar to Rajo intakes I have seen before. Of course, I could be wrong. It happens a lot.

It could be cut down to fit a Rajo head-or anything else for that matter. It isn't the type of manifold I need/want for any of my heads or current projects,  so it is "surplus to my requirements".  

 

Here are some photos found on the internet of a 1912 REO The Fifth engine. Sure looks like the same manifold to me.

I am reasonably certain it is a REO intake - the name was cast on the vertical piece that bolts to it. It would fit any of the 4-cylinder REO's back to 1910 (the Model R). I say that because I've had two of them, a 10 and an 11. The engine was almost identical to "REO the Fifth".

Yes, the part number that is cast into it matches the 1912 REO.
