any worth
I have a 1950 f-2 that I am going to transplant a newer powerplant into because my flathead is tired and stress cracked. I also have a locked up flathead out of a 49 car that was at one time a drag car. The deck has been ground with tulip valves, high dome pistons and so on. Anyway I have the intakes that were run one the drag engine. I have set-ups for a single stromburg, 2 dueces, 3 dueces, and a 4 barrel intake, they are all aluminum but right off hand I do not know the brand as they are packed away. Do these manifolds have any value to them? Should I put them on ebay. What should I expect out of them. thanks for the help

Yah, put them on ebay, be sure to specify they only fit a 1918 Rolls Royce straight 8 and don't set a reserve. Start the bidding at oh, say $0.50, Make it a 1 day auction ending at 3:45 AM on a Mon and tell me the auction #s just so I can watch and laugh if someone actually bids on them (yah that's the ticket...).

In all seriousness flathead speed equipment prices are skyrocketing, collectors are paying big money just to sit them on a shelf, and flathead enthusiasts are dying to get their hands on any useable parts, after all they don't make them any more, and never made that many to begin with. A lot were melted down during the scrap drives, and ended up as beercans.
