223 Intake manifold
Any difference in 57,58,59,60 223 intake? I wanna buy an intake and it says fits 57,58. No mention of 59,60. Doesn't say it wont fit either. Will a 57-58 intake fit on 59-60?

I have only had the '59 and '60 in my hot little hands, they were the same as previously stated. What about checking the master parts catalog and seeing if the part number changes between years 58' and 59'!?

Until Bill shows up, Here is a page from the parts book and the way I read it, it looks like the manifolds changed in 60 and possibly the P100/500 were different. But I can't claim to fully understand the catalog.

I there a difference between the 57,58,59 and the 60 as they fit on the engine? Guess my question is. Are the engines different where the manifolds attach? Are the manifolds interchangeable from 57, 58, 59 to 60?
Do you know difference if any between the B9A-9424-A (57-59)and the C3AZ-9424-B (60)?

Sorry, I haven't a clue. I do know that the head used 1960/64 is different than 1954/59.

Thanks for your knowledge. Are the heads from 54-59 interchangeable on the 60-64 engines?

1960/64: Valve cover attaches to head with 8 bolts.
1954/59: Valve cover has two holes for the studs that thread into the head to pass thru.

Wonder if there is a difference where the intake and exhaust manifolds bolt on. Hate to buy the 57-59 offy intake and have it not fit the 60 head. Thanks again for your input.

I would think Offenhauser has faced that question once or twice, might be a good idea to ask them.

differences i know about.
I put a 60 exhaust manifold on my 59 223. It appears the main difference was the studs in the 60 that mount the intake were short. The 60 intake manifold is shorter by 1 inch between the exhaust manifold and the carburetor. If you want to use a 60 manifold on the older trucks you have to remove the studs from the exhaust manifold and replace them with 1 inch shorter studs. The throttle linkage will require modifications also or you can use the 60 linkage with the 60 manifold.
Hope this is clear. I'm not the best at written explanations.

As far as ports and bolting to the head they are all the same. Some of the 60 and later heads had larger headbolts and used a different valve cover but where the manifold attaches are the same. I just traded two Offy manifolds for a steering gear box for my Ranchero, the area under the carb were it bolts to the exhaust was different on the two. One was set up for use with a stock exhaust manifold the other would require headers..
