Still have it. You want it? 10 bolt front/12 bolt rear axle. Pretty solid frame. Make an offer. ---

Does this ![http://www.53classicchevy.com/images2/offenhauser-triple-intake-manifold.jpg](http://www.53classicchevy.com/images2/offenhauser-triple-intake-manifold.jpg) fit? I know they often bolted them to the blue flame vettes, but I’m not entirely sure if the blue flame is the same. ---

Sweet project, man. It’s crazy how some old engines had the intake and exhaust on the same side. Packages nicely, but what a thermal mess. ---

Unfortunately the rear carb gets in the way of the firewall and shifter assembly or I’d have one on my truck. Mines just a 2x1 instead of the 3x1. The early Vettes came with 235’s but had a completely different intake with 3 sidedraft Weber’s on them from the factory. The manifold you have pictured is for a standard downflow 1 barrel like a Rochester B or Carter YF. > [@newman](#): > > Sweet project, man. > > It’s crazy how some old engines had the intake and exhaust on the same side. Packages nicely, but what a thermal mess. Most old engines are set up like this. lol at thermal mess. The other major drawback to this engine and many others were the siamesed ports. My engine has 3 intake and 4 exhaust ports in the head for 6 cylinders. Less than ideal… Hence the development of the 12 port head the flows straight across. Racers developed them back in the 40’s and 50’s. It was a huge improvement, but good luck finding one anymore. Besides, this is a street engine, not a racer lol. ---

Finally got some pics uploaded.

One more prime and it’s ready for color. Hopefully we’ll have the black sprayed this week, yellow next week if all goes well. ---

Not yet, I was out of town for a week so we had a bit of a delay. I’m hoping to have this thing in color in a week. Then I’ll finally be able to start bolting all these boxes of parts I have on it. I just wish winter wasn’t so close!!! ---

Alright, finally have an update. I haven’t had a lot of time to work on this thing, but we finally got the black sprayed.

It sucks that I’ve been living at work, but at least I’m making some cash to spend on this thing. I don’t know when we’ll have a chance to shoot the yellow…hopefully before spring… [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/my-49-chevy-pickup-project-pics/20625.md?page=2)
