1935 ford manifold
Relative to the 1935 ford manifold I have the following questions.
1. Is the manifold cast iron or aluminum when the car left the factory? 2. Was the manifold painted ford green? 3. Were there different manifolds available or was there only one. 4. I have seen both ford green and aluminum painted manifolds. Which one is correct? Thank you for your comments and advice. |

35 Fords left the factory with aluminum Intake manifolds and Aluminum Heads
There were "basically" two different intake manifolds for 1935 - Early & Late Apologies pictured is an early 35 intake VS 34 intake!!! |

Re: 1935 ford manifold
This would be a proper 35 motor appearance, I believe from Dave Collett's 1935 Roadster, Note it is equipped with a radio SO there are a few "extra" details of the motor that are for a radio equipped car like the generator cut out for one!!! The suppressed plug wire ends would be another as well as the stud with fender washer on the cowl for mounting the radio. It also has extra lines for a Columbia two speed rear end so a few copper lines are present that most likely you will not have!!!

Re: 1935 ford manifold
Thanks for your prompt reply. Am I correct in assuming that the heads were aluminum and not cast iron?

Re: 1935 ford manifold

Re: 1935 ford manifold
1935 production heads and intake manifold for cars are aluminum. Same for 1935 pickups. 1935 trucks have cast iron heads and intake manifold. 1935 service replacement heads were both aluminum and cast iron. This is why there is often some confusion between cast iron and aluminum heads and intake manifolds. Rockfla is right on regarding the correct parts for cars since you have a 1935 car.
