Aluminum GM BBC Intake
 

Anyone have any ideas on what this is? Picked it up today and cannot seem to find anything out about it. Dated December 5th 1968 GM Winters aluminum rectangle port

Same exact date too.. https://www.yenko.net/forum/showthread.php?t=161208

Wow thats wild!

I saw an ad this week where someone was looking for one of those. I can't remember where I saw it. Looks like it's set up to use a standard length distributor.

Nice score. :headbang:

Congrats! Killer find!

I'm curios will this work on a standard big block?

Since the engine is V shaped, the taller deck makes the heads farther apart. The flange where the intake meets the deck therefore has to be thicker.

Short answer, no. If it's made for a tall deck block then it won't work on a standard deck block.

Years ago I bought an intake thinking it was for a big block. Didn't fit. The casting number began with "0" just like this one and I too was told the casting numbers beginning with zero were experimental parts. It turned out to be a Mystery Motor intake. Just confirming that the "0" on your intake makes sense with what I was told by an expert on experimental parts.

----Possibly designed for marine use as there have been production tall block motors for boats for years. Then with testing it was found that Holly's were better carbs for marine use.....Bill S

Thank you everyone!
