Hi,
I'm new here and have a question about a prototype Chevy intake manifold I have. It has a date of 3-13-64 on the bottom of it and it has some cosmoline on it as a protectant. The style of runners is different from the more squared off angles typical of Chevy manifolds of the time. Is this manifold of mine a one-off attempt to try a different runner design? Was it possibly meant for a specific engine application that did not come to pass? I'm curious if anybody might be able to shed some light on the history of the development of this intake.
Thank you,
Jon Mello
