Default Ram Horn Manifolds...

I have had these in my stash for a very long time...

They were originally on a 283 motor that I installed in a 58 Willy's...

The driver's side manifold has a part number that starts with 374...the rest is hard to read.

They seem to be in pretty good shape...no visible cracks or broken ears...looks like 2" outlets and there is a hole for the choke tube on the pass. side manifold.

Might sell or just put in them "Pay Forward' section...

Let me know what you think...

Post Rams Horn Manifolds...

Did a little research...here are the part numbers.

3749965...driver

3747038...pass

looks like these were used 58-63 Chevy's...283/327

***this motor did have a generator...might still have that in the parts??

Would normally only be useful to someone restoring a low horse car; which just doesn't seem to happen often.

Or... to someone doing an engine swap that needed to figure out how to get clearance for steering, etc. Wish I had a set of these back when I was putting the Chevy motor in my 49 Studebaker truck. Now I have two sets!!! I ended up using something that works, but it was a tight fit.

Pair of low horse ram's horn exhaust manifolds, even at 2 inches, should be worth $100 plus the ride. Or, as you said, just post them on the PIF classifieds. I love seeing guys use my discarded parts. I don't have to make money on every deal. In fact I usually don't.

Post Manifolds...

Checking Colvin's book, some of the low-horse Corvette's used the 2" manifolds.

Thanks for the input.

I have a fish tote (remember where I'm from) full of the 2" ramhorns of all styles. I've never been asked about them ever.
