Default Flathead Ford intake manifold bonanza.

Hey gang I’d like to share this video I came across featuring the great Ken Gross talking about the intake manifold collection at Speedway Motors “Museum of Speed”.

This is a fascinating walk back in time, I think you’ll enjoy it.

That was a great video. I would have to say that there were several examples that probably performed worse than a stock manifold and carb.

Very neat collection! I think mine is at seven right now, looks like I have a ways to go.
