3x2 intake found
Hi everyone i was woundering if you could help me Id an intake manifold that my brother dug up literaly. From what people have told me it is off of a Y block. how can I tell? The manifold is aluminum 3x2 The name on the side reads Edmunits As far as I can tell. There is a number on the bottom wich reads MD-425, The thermostat housing bolts directly to the front of the manifold, and there is a total of 10 head bolts, and also the intake runners are stacked double on each other. Can Anyone id this manifold for me? It would be helpfull.
Thanks
Nathan

Scroll about half way down the page for a Fenton clone, the DM425. They and Edmunds made intakes for just about anything back in those days. Nothing special in quality or performance but they were affordable. These days they are mostly good for wall art as there are much better designs available.
Any head with the 1.78 or 1.9 intake valve will work fine with a 3 carb intake. Depending upon other mods you will probably have to experiment with jetting and PV values if using a Holley 94 series carb.
I use an Edelbrock 573.

It's funny you should say that your brother literally dug it up.
A couple years ago a friend of mine was doing some excavation on his property and dug up a complete Ford flathead motor!
He did'nt know what to do with it so he gave it to me, and I turned around and gave it to a guy I knew that was into flatheads.
Turned out the block was cracked, but I guess alot of the internal parts were still good so they were saved.
Just thought I'd share that, it was kinda funny at the time!
We just never know what we'll dig up someday!
