Nice Edelbrock FM255 Intake Manifold. Fits Ford Y-Block 272, 292 312. This is the Y-Block intake manifold that will forward mount dual Holley 4160 4V carburetors. All threads are good.  No issues.  Speedway adapters are new.   Carburetors not included.  $450 plus shipping. PayPal accepted  Email phil@lakefrontflorida.com

Why did you decide against the 8V setup?

That INTAKE is a cherry EDEL FM255 NOS isn't it? You might also mention that.

____________________________

I have decided to stay with my single 4V. This manifold is about as good as it gets.  I can't find any issues.

Florida_Phil.  Were you able to determine if the manifold with the Holley 4160 carbs would fit under the hood of your '55 'Bird, Phil?  IF not, were the carburetor adapters responsible for the clearance issue?

Thanks for your reply.

I never bolted it on my engine.  I took some measurements and the dual carbs definitely clear the hood of a small TBIrd.  Air cleaners could possibly be an issue, but I think they could be worked out.  It may take some fabrication.  If I don't sell the manifold, I will hang on to it.  I may still try it some day.  Right now, my car is running great and I don't have the stomach to mess with it.

Not a NOS intake, had tons of soot and corrosion in crossover, rust under bolts that were screwed in exhaust passages, and boltdown clamp areas were marked from being torqued down, sand left over from sandblasting, and two prices marked on bottom and carb pad indicating quick turn around part.  Really disappointed after having to pay e-bay state sales tax, and double shipping cost for the intake. Box arrived all broken up and split open.  Surprised the intake was still inside.    Never again will I buy through e-bay.  Joe-JDC

Sorry, I thought I read where he found a new intake.

A part should not be on this forum for sale for a stated price, and ask for a pm to then find out it is actually an auction on e-bay item.  Then after asking seller to change auction to "buy it now price" and getting it at the buy it now price, they tack on state sales tax.  If it is for sale here, it should not be on e-bay at the same time.  I have bought several intakes, heads, engines from forum folks, and never had to pay sales tax or expensive shipping.  I shipped two Y block intakes to California in separate boxes last month for less than this one box from Florida.  Wound up costing nearly $150.00 more than advertised price.  Lesson learned, rant over.  Joe-JDC
