I have come into possession of a Mummert manfiold. Looking on his web site it would appear to be a low rise model. It is in perfect shape and has a cast iron thermostat housing and the rubber hose and the two bolt adapter for the thermostat bypass. It came off a Bonneville race car. Does anyone have an idea of what they are worth now days? Thanks for any help you can give me. Dan

Is it the Mummert intake or is it the Blue Thunder? The Mummert intake will have ‘Mummert’ cast on it in front of the carburetor flange. The Mummert intake is also cast without the heat crossover in the middle. The BlueThunder intake will have the heat crossover and will also have the Ford part number cast on the intake behind the carburetor flange.

It says "Mummert" on the manifold and I looked on his web site and he has two manifolds. I don't have the measurements but looking at the pictures it appears to be the lower of the two.

Mummert's new price last fall (2013) was $419 U.S. either model. Aluminum holdowns were extra, all + shipping.

Jimmy,After much discussion I have decided to ask $375.00 for it. Even though it is used it is in excellent shape with all threaded holes in perfect shape and all machined surfaces flat and smooth. It worked like a charm on the 292 at Bonneville and should work great for the next owner. The proceeds will go to the project I am working on which is the re-creation of my first car. Dan |

I should mention that I will throw in the 2" plastic carb spacer with studs. I will take some pictures on Wednesday and post them here for all to see.

I'll think I pass, I dont need the spacer and I need the straight termostat Truck housing.
I'll buy them of mummert.
Thanks anyway

Where are you located? I'm interested, but local is always best. Frequently a little gas is cheaper than shipping.

Charlie,Thank you for moving this. I didn't know how to do it and was going to ask but you took care of it.
jimcar-9 Sorry it won't work for you it could have saved you a few dollars.
CK I would take $350.00 without the spacer and I will package but you will have to pay for the shipping. I will ship by the least expensive method if you chose or use the shipper of your choice. Dan |

Hi, Dan, just curious, do you know which Bonneville 292 this intake came from?

Charlie,Thanks for moving this for me I didn't know how to it.
jimcar-9 Sorry it won't work for you.
CK If you will take the manifold minus the spacer I will take $350.00 for it. I will box it up for safe shipping and take it to the shipper of your choice. You can either have a voucher for the shipping or sned the cost of shipping with the payment for the manifold. Do you need the alternator adapter plate for the GM one wire alternator? I would like to get $50.00 for it if you need it. Dan |

Thank you Chris. I really feel it best to help out the few people that are still doing right by the old :Y: blocks. Although it appears the numbers are growing slightly they are still few in numbers compared to a lot of other discontinued engines.
Don, Where are you located? Dan |
