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

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.

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.
