Hi guys, i thought you might like to see these locally made intakes from the late 60,s on. They were made by old foundry in Newcastle suburb of Sydney, they were carried on by his son, john cain and ceased production after fire destroyed the premises in the 80,s. All were open plane with no port runners and were very average aluminum content, although made for cars, most were used on speed boats. Another company "Tawco" made similar boat type intakes without thermostat housing feature.

You may wonder why we had all these odd intakes etc here, but being a big island in the pacific we were not connected to the rest of the world as it is today and could not just go down to the local parts outlet to get one off the shelf! So inovation thrived here.

This boat intake was home designed and cast nicely, no port runners but interesting flow design on each end directing the fuel into port area rather than like an offy log intake. I am assuming who ever made it named it Revwell! very fitting i thought!
