Are these Chinese knock offs of the Mummert Intakes? Price is awfully cheap.

I don’t know where they’re from, but it’s almost got to be off shore somewhere. Doesn’t mean they’re bad, that’s in the hands of the engineering spec’s and quality control standards. Before the accountant’s pick a price point.
You can Google top street performance, so cal company, mixed reviews on products.

It only fits the 1955/57 THUNDERBIRD FLATHEAD w 3X2 carburetion.
A perfect match for the CHI-CON SLOPPY COPY GM HEI DIST and SUMMIT CARB installs --
And then again, it might be a BLUE THUNDER sellout.

Based on the three ‘locating’ or machining tabs on the bottom of the pictured intake manifold, it does appear to be the manifold that's being made by Mercury 8 Restorations in Australia. That casting is based off of the ECZ-B intake manifolds and dyno testing has shown that the performance of that particular manifold also matches the factory iron ECZ-B manifolds. Dyno testing has found it to be a suitable replacement for the factory manifolds. Four barrel intake manifolds are scarce in Australia so that manifold would have a strong market over there.

If they are bringing this in from AU their paying freight, duties and tariffs, that is one heck of a deal depending on COUNTRY of ORIGIN (casting - machining) and flow testing ...hint ...hint.
