Intake Manifold Question

I found this on eBay. Are these all interchangable? I have a 292 in my F-100. Do I have to do some number crunching for compatability?

They all interchange......that manifold uses the old square pattern carb. Is that the type of carb you plan to use? Modern 4 barrels will not bolt up without an adapter....
I have one of those manifolds you can have for half that amount...

DO NOT BUY IT, it's a 1956 manifold. It will fit all 272/292/312 Y blocks, but 1956's (and 55's) used the 'teapot' Holley carbs that have a specific carb bolt mounting pattern that was not used after 1956.

The 4V manifold you want was used on 1957 292/312 Ford/Merc/Thunderbirds. Very popular, very desirable, hard to find because the teapot carbs used on 1955/56's were crap.

Owners of 1955/56 T-Birds, Fords and Mercs have bought up and installed many of these 1957 manifolds for this very reason.

btw: The 1955 Y block manifolds are different from 1956, as the auto choke assy mounts on the manifold itself, not on the carb.

I had a tea-pot on my 55 Town Sedan. It's also called a flame thrower and for good reason.
