Just found a stash of local parts and trucks, (I'll post a link later) and ran across this intake. My questions are has anyone seen one of these before or is it a homemade 4bbl adapted, do you think it could still be used with the damage to the generator mount?
What would you value it at?
Thanks

 

Looks cootey-bob'd, I don't recall a Fenton 4-barrel, but I haven't looked it up either.

If the bolt still has good threads on the gen mount, yeah, it will work.

 

Never seen one like that.....interesting carb flange. The break looks recent, do you have the broken piece? Could be welded back on.....I wouldn't run it that way.

 

Hope you can repair it,should be possible.
I have never been able to get excited about a four barrel on a flathead.
Two twos allways look good.

That's a home made conversion. The flange is an aftermarket adapter for GM intakes to put a Holley on in place of the stock Rochester.

 

was told the damage happened this last weekend, she said she would look for the piece.

Anyone think it has any value, or would work well?

 

fenton did make a 4bbl intake and according too what i've read in articles from mid state antique stock car club articles , the fenton and the tattersfield track 1 and navarro 4bbl , were the intakes too have for the street . i ran across one you put up a link too ross on the sammich site i can't be on no more and wish i woulda had the money !!!!!! a couple of the old timers here a bouts reccomended it too and the others listed with the 390 holley for street use . they say the edelbrock and the new navarro are the best two available right now new as i understand all of the listed used fords split plenum { predecessor to the modern dual plane intake design }as the basis of their designs and worked extremely well due to this . keep it fix it , and finds a flatty to put it on !!!! or sell it too one of us dirt cheap ............

 

Well I'm thinking of putting it on my flattie. If I can ever get her Back together! The very nice lady who owns it lost her husband, is selling this and lots of other parts that were his. She has no idea what she has or what it's worth, I'm not much help to her there. I want to buy the intake, give her a fair price, but not pay retail! with the damage I'm thinking $40 bucks? Too low?

 

I'll give you 80 for it...

 

Is it an optical illusion or are the two primary (smaller) bores both on the same side of the manifold?

 

must be an illusion. best i can tell all the holes are equal.

 

Give her a price on everything she has/wants to sell. You'll get a volume price and will be able to keep what you want and sell the rest for a profit.

 

Yea I would love to do that if it weren't for a lack of funds, storage space.
