Manifold for 36
Is this correct for 35-36 LB engine?

Re: Manifold for 36
Difficult to tell from that picture taken straight down on that intake. If you can post a side view of that manifold it would be easier to tell how high the generator mount is from the base of the intake. As best I can tell from that picture, that intake looks like a '37 and later to me. However, it will bolt onto a '36 LB engine, but if actually a '37 intake the generator will sit too low.

Nope! the manifold you have pictured is for a '37-'38. There are several slight variations of '35-'36 intakes but what you need is an intake with a "ramp." Without the ramp you really don't have enough of a platform to adjust the generator/fan belt. Note picture of the "ramp." Tom |

Re: Manifold for 36
Ok thanks. Would cast iron be correct or is that a truck only item?

I could be wrong but I don't think Ford made a "ramp" intake in cast iron. Tom |

Re: Manifold for 36
Jetmark-
That is a '34. A '33 is a one barrel carb intake. It also doesn't appear to be a '35. If you look at the fuel pump stand hole it is oblong not round. The '35 and up have a round hole. Now having said that, some very early '35s may have had the oblong hole as a carryover from '34 production. Tom |

Re: Manifold for 36
What years did they have the hole for exhaust heat to the bottom of the carb ? Pretty sure it was only during the Stromberg carb years.

Looking at the picture I see no reason why that intake wouldn't work on a '35-'36. If you want an cast aluminum look just paint it. Tom |

Some early Stromberg year manifolds had the hole. I think all from about 36 had the hole. I've come across the hole in manifolds (cast iron, like the iron one in the pick above hole is below that gasket) 38-39 which is Chandler and groves then Holley years. Seems bonkers to me, having that exhaust hole straight under the sodding power valve! As far as I'm able to find out, this overlap was 38 and up. The "59A" one picked above has the divorced carb flange, ideal for the 94 family of carbs. I think this was actually used 41 and up to the 8BA/8RT and 8CM. Been trying to find out what was used prior to this one, purely as I don't know. Seem real odd to me that the exhaust hole would have been used from 38 through 40, that's a lot of burnt power valves. No body seems to know if it did? Maybe some one can look at the "green bible" and see what gives. Martin. |

Re: Manifold for 36
I agree with JM . It looks like a 37 to me. Kerk

Martin, Thanks for the explanation. It sounds pretty confusing, but I know more now. Sounds like some differences in opinions on this post. All of the replies are for slightly different years, but they were all Stromberg years. So confusing to me why the manifold in question (first post) doesn't have the hole for exhaust heat. Must have been only certain years. Sal Sal |

Re: Manifold for 36
I'd like to be certain. In Post#11 from Ed Pitts which is the '36 intake? Is it the intake painted blue or th un-painted one.
Thanks, Bruce/CT

Re: Manifold for 36
Bruce, it is the aluminum intake. The blue one is from a later engine. Ed

Re: Manifold for 36
My 37 has the manifold hole.. Cant guarantee its the matching to the engine but I think so..

Re: Manifold for 36
I don't know if you'll find this on all of the 35-36 intakes, but these have date stamps underneath.

Re: Manifold for 36
Fred, you can't always go by the sand cast date on those parts as to which model year they are actually for. The manifold you have marked as a '35 is actually a '36 even though it was cast in 9/18/35. I will try to find a '35 intake and post it here. It may be mounted on an engine, but I think you will see the difference where the one raised runner comes over the top in front of carb mount, where '36 is a smooth sloping contour from generator mount to carburetor mounting base. I had also made a post some time in the past that has pictures of these intakes used in the various years. Doing a search may turn that post up.

Re: Manifold for 36
John, I definitely see the difference as you have pointed out. Thanks for the clarification.
