2x4 Nickey intake

**SS427** · #1 06-19-2003, 09:16 PM

I just came across an 70's Offenhauser 2x4 low rise intake and was wondering if anyone can tell me exactly what intake Nickey used on the 427s' Thanks,
Rick

I can't tell if you got some help offline, or if you are just being a little sarcastic. Sorry I didn't answer sooner. I have a drag test in Popular Hotrodding June 1968, the car is a 68 Camaro with a Bill Thomas 427 conversion, idenitfied as a Nickey/Bill Thomas car. It does use an Offenhauser dual quad 360 manifold with two Holley 3419 carburetors. It doesn't look like the setup they used on the 67 cars. I could post this article if you want to see it.

Thanks bbdon. Sorry to say, a little of both I guess. I received MANY e-mails and not a single one offered to help, only if I was willing to sell. Not that I minded that but I was looking to buy this for my personal collection not to make a buck and I was just curious if it was the correct intake. I would very much appreciate seeing that article. I have a hunch this is the same type of intake and would be neat to have. Thank you for your help.

SS427,
Came across '67 article Nickey/Bill Thomas 427 Camaro---they dont mention the intake but it appears to be a lo-rise intake--it does have two Carter AFB carbs--thats about it-------JoeG.

OK,
Here you go. Actaully this magazine, Popular Hotrodding, June 1968, is amazing for any Chevy fan. I just couldn't stop scanning even when I was done with the article that I mentioned before. The second article is about a certain 68 Camaro funny car, that looks very familiar for some reason. The third article is about Offenhauser 360 intakes, and it seemed relevant to this discussion too.

bbdon,
Glad I stopped by-----excellent article---ran out of copy paper--figures---I tried to match that offy intake to my article but it's not a good angle. Great test!!!--JoeG- [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

bbdon,
Thanks for the articles. Looks to be one and the same. I think I may give the man a call back and see what I can work out. Thanks for the help. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
